Today with Rafał we played Sharp Practice game on 50 points in Bolter shop in Wrocław. My Russians were composed of line infantry with command group, group of grenadiers and two units of jagers. Rafał force was composed from line infantry, group of infantry, skirmishers and consript cavalry.

  • Russians came to the village.
  • In second card hand all Russians were on the table.
  • Jagers took positions in the cover. My behind wall, Rafałs in the building.
  • Hurry up grenadiers, outflank them!
  • Jagers started shooting at enemy skirmishers in the building.
  • Another Jager unit tries to outflank enemy…
  • …. at the end prepared to take out skirmishers in the building
  • Spaniards shot at grenadiers taking heavy toll – four of them felt from shooting.
  • On the other side Spaniards skirmishers were reduced to leader and rank and file trooper.
  • Fire, reload, fire reload. Grenadiers fixed they bayonnets. Line infantry as well fixed they bayonnets and runned in the front of Spanish infantry.
  • Spanish cavalry charged, but brave Ivan repelled them with bayonnet.
  • Both sides fought feriously – only Ivan survived from rank and file units.
  • Lone grenadier and half of cavalry moved back.
  • Ivan retreated with Spanish cavalry behind him.
  • After shoot Russian Jagers runned to the hill. The end – no one achieved enemy starting position.

Summary:
– it’s really interesting skirmish game with interesting events which can happen sometimes.
– rallying infantry after they start shooting sometimes is problematic – the man doesn’t wanted to listen to they officers.
– Ivan was promoted to a sergant.
– faith can reduce shock – shock is something like pin system in Bolt Action – unit with many shock points work less and less reliable.
– many thanks to Rafał and Piotrek for great game and helping me finding appropriate priest model – need to work on him with some green stuff to made orthodox pop.
