Today we played with Kris in our campaing. After last battle Russian-Prussian alliance hasn’t got a supply convoy with vodka from hands of French and Swiss mercenaries. Today we played Russia on France and we played scenario with prisoner – famous moonshine creator.

  • Beautiful houses in a village.
  • But silence was broken when some Polish uhlans saw French troops taking creator of moonshine.
  • Decision was one – to charge!
  • More French arrived.
  • Before charge happened French shoot down one uhlan.
  • Hand to hand combat over a fence wasn’t greatest idea.
  • More French arrived, including cannon.
  • Russian line infantry arrived.
  • Retreat! After heavy loses in men, uhlans retreat.
  • Then rallied.
  • Then they leader started gathering them around the flag.
  • Grenadiers and jagers came and started shooting.
  • Dragoons galloped and infantry with moonshine dealer started organized retreat.
  • Cannon took heavy toll on grenadiers (again).
  • Everyone shooting.
  • Uhlans realized that the cannon is great threat and started flank maneuver.
  • Everyone shooting, clouds of
  • Almost all dragoons jumped over fence – but one was left.
  • Grenadiers saw bayonnet fight of they jager comrades, fast and brutal.
  • Grenadiers reloaded they muskeets and fired.
  • Cannon again shoot.
  • Left, right, left, right. Russian infantry managed to cross forest.
  • Brave uhlans were nothing for a cannon crew.
  • Russian infantry tried to save battle, but it was too late.
  • Few wounded uhlans rode off table on they fast horses.
  • Last Russian unit realized that it’s over.
  • Moonshine dealer was taken by French, but we will find him.

Summary:
– as a Bretonnian player I don’t know how to use Polish uhlans in Russian service, maybe few games later I will learn how to use them.
– we played on 50 points per side today.
– it was nice game – my Russians are still away in this campaing from they target.
