Today evening we played with Marian and Krzysiek into a game, where Krzysiek was game master. This was of course continuation of our campaign. This time Russians from two different batallions realized, that in the centre of a village is someone who know recipe for great moonshine. Leaders of both batallions send they men and never contacted themselfs.
French troops guarding an inn. Somewhere in western Europe. They move made by Krzysiek were random, as we started at night. Marians Russians arrived. Russian line infantry and Jagers arrived. Both sides moved. And then Winged Hussars arrived – no just Polish Uhlans in Russian Tzar service. French keeping barrels of moonshine and dealer. Beautiful Marian infantry (yeap,he lend them to me on last Black Powder battle). Left, right, left, right – march! Jagers started shooting French skirmishers. Uhlans started galloping. First loses on French side and some shock on Russian side. I smell this moonshine Ivan said. Marians Russians coming in. Rememver, fire at will boys! Marians Russian going into the houses to search for a moonshine dealer. French surronded from all sides fought as a lions. Townhall catched fire from shooting of Russian side. More shock points. They are so close, still behind. I can smell they fear said one uhlan to another. Ready to go! Cruel hand to hand combat. Last skirmisher fled Seeing that someone took someone from building uhlans lowered they lances… and galloped… afterwards… were shocked and fled the field. Russian Jagers tried to save a day, but stayed in shooting with French. Real winner was Marian, who took moonshine dealer. Left, right – Marians Russians march of the field. Marian took dealer, no one took barrels of moonshine. Soldiers realised that they fought for nothing.
Summary:
– thank you Krzysiek, Marian for nice game, for Piotrek and Bolter.pl for place to play and Rafał for great terrains,
– It was rainy evening, but happilly we were inside.
– it was great game with Game Master and interesting scenario.
– Uhlans, my heart was broken – no idea how to use this beautiful models in this game, I guess that skirmishers are more useful.
– happilly I did not get my salary today, if so I would buy few three buildings for North and South conflict (I will do that probably tomorrow).
– we are based in Poland, Wrocław under this adress – Wrocławscy Bonapartyści we are open to play Black Powder and know our neighbours Germans, Czechs, Russians etc.
That looks like a lot of fun, thanks for sharing it. I really enjoy the ongoing narrative of your soldiers’ unquenchable thirst for moonshine! Good luck for your Uhlans next time.
This game is a lot of fun, it’s from France if I’m correct. I love Napoleonic times because of this game – our era started by Napoleon, then everything happend like steam engine used in railways, industriality ehh. It’s really good system. If you are not far away from Wrocław, you can always came here for a game or weekend game ;-).
