A campaing is going on in wartime Europe of Napoleonic era – we played today with Kris following battle.
Cart on bridge with barrels of moonshine, horses near camp and moonshine dealer were objects for Russians. Grenadiers on left crossed small river, jagers and line infantry in the middle and Polish uhlans on right flank. Uhlans advanced to find and take dealer. Infantry advanced, then reformed into line. After shooting event took a place – bayonnets fixed, hoorah! Another event happend after three flags were collected in line – that one wasn’t nice – unit slowed down. French started shooting deadly volleys of black powder. At my commend get out of fire. Russian infantry make step back. Then another step back into the small water pond. Dragoons charged with fury, but were beaten by brave Poles on the Tzar service. Mironov started gathering his troops, the best Smoleńsk infantry. In the name of Tzar, charge – uhlans lowered they lances and tried to run fast on last two dragoons. Unhappilly they weren’t running fast enough. French artillerist saw uhlans galloping on they fellows and measure distance and fire, making panic among Poles. Jager leader said: bayonnets fixed and they charged into cruel hand to hand combat. French skirmishers retreat from combat after losing one men. French skirmishers realized, that they good comrade was left wounded beetwen Russians, so they charged to take him to a medic. Both sides light infantry retreated from melee combat. Hurry up boys, they are more numerous but not so brave! Still Russian morale collapsed to 0 from 9 and soldiers and officers had enough to fight more. Start of another project for Sharp Practice. Good boys from the South – not sure if they will be Texas or maybe Alabama or maybe Louisiana?
Summary:
– interesting game with special events.
– tried to focus on everything and did not took any objectives. Next time I should go one way.
– thank you Kris for battle, Rafał for terrains.
– it’s not the end of campaign of course, developing new scenario belongs now for me, as today we played Kris scenario.
– first time my uhlans beat dragoons, then were beaten by a cannon and fled the field.
