After losing townhall, brothel and store full of vodka week before Russians found an ally to retake they losed possesion. French cannot take this vodka for themselfs. So Russian and Prussian according to they spies report prepared an ambush on wagon train with important cargo. With „Prussian heir” Prussians my Russians and Poles prepared ambush, on the other side „General” – Swiss and Kris – French get into an ambush which doesn’t happend, as Russians used last bootles of alcohol last night, and were unable to march.

  • Field of death and ethernal glory.
  • Russian jagers had problems with marching and everything else. It was strong hooch.
  • Polish cavalry arrived looking for enemies, after drinking day before with Russians they weren’t sobber as well.
  • After suffering lose they leader hangover was over.
  • Prussians advanced to retake Russian supplies of vodka.
  • Both Polish uhlans and French dragons advanced.
  • And then uhlans were charged, challenge beetwen officers started, sabre hit sabre.
  • Russian infantry realized, that they comrades are fighting and they were drunking yesterday together.
  • Uhlans won and dragoons retreated.
  • Few remaining uhlans, most of them wounded left the field.
  • Both sides started shooting each other.
  • No one took supply train, French and Swiss won by two mini points, as two of our unit’s left the field.

Summary of game, day and life:
– we played in group of four players, before I played only 1 vs 1.
– my Russians and Poles weren’t sobber, they moved at start so slowly, than Jagers had problem with jumping over a hedge. Prussians were much more disciplined. Need to paint some more unit of tzar army who whose raised on Polish territories.
– good game, many thanks to fellow players and to Rafał from Bolter.pl for preparing our field of battle.
– of course most of the Poles were fighting for Napoleon and some were in units created by Tzar. Still one of the best cavalry in the word was Polish cavalry from winged hussars up to the uhlans cavalry brigades in 2nd world war.
– this day was full of history, due fact that I wanted to be on time and was late at work, I took taxi to take my miniatures and talked with driver – his father was Polish tankist in 1939′ and his unit was deployed near Kutno, I guess that he served in 1st Polish tank batallion using 7-TP tanks – everyone have interesting story behind.
– one of two photos sent to Gazeta Wrocławska was presented on they page – photo with old Polish adds on my building in Wrocław – I only used word Breslau (Wrocław in German) and no one read that those adds are Polish after 1945′ and even if they would be German what’s a difference – we should remember history and ppl who lived before, I’m not sure what reaction I could saw, if I wrote that my grandmother I never meet, was Austrian or German (dispute beetwen my dad and aunt is still living) – unhapilly she died before I was born.
– in case of friendship – different people of different nations can be friends ignoring even hard stories beetwen they countries – I guess that I really like Russians and Germans, but found great people among Moldovians, Indians (thank you Govinda), Phillipinnes, Basks, Italians, Ukrainians, Bialorussians, Dutch, Belgians, Iranians, Americans. I wish to know more ppl, as it’s always to know they opinions, story, they culture. Cheers from Wrocław, Poland.
