Today we started new campaing with Krzysiek – during last one my Russians did not found moonshine recipe, so they changed area. Last time we played Russian – French campaign, now we started with Russia vs Wittenberg.
There are three people we should talk and capture. First units arrived. More units arrived – on Russians side line infantry, uhlans, two unit of Jagers and a cannon. On Wittenberg side big unit of constripts and volunteers, two unit of skirmishers and a medium cannon. Russians slowly moved toward one person to talk. Uhlans galloped forward. Wittenbergians marched forward in the middle and on the left. Russian Jagers took position in the forest. Advance! One part of the unit separated and moved forward under leadership of adjutant. Gallop at full speed! Again infantry first shoot at uhlans to make them shocked, then defeated them in hand to hand combat. Polish Uhlans left the field. Skirmishers could return to they job. After shoot Russian Jagers runned forward. Another Russian unit advanced to the cover. Russian Regular Line infantry started shooting on Germans. Both skirsmishers started shooting each other. Jagers tried to help they centre, but soon were surronded by enemy skirmishers. Cannon started shooting from positions on the hill. Germans take slowly advance – red dices are shocks, blue dices are losed soldiers. Enemy outflanked Jagers. Collecting shocks going on on Russian side. Russian infantry made step back. Cannon started firing grape-shots. While the others started retread, brave artillerist covered they escape. Shocked Jagers retreated. Reload! Fire! German skirmishers took one guy supposed to be a spy. Grape-shot on the hill! After suffering lose skirmishers fled from the hill. But it was over, wounded artillerists took gun and runned. It was over. Russians took no one… When Germans took all three potential spies.
Summary:
– I guess that if you want to have fun from cavalry – u need to take them more – they are really cheap – group of 8 costs 5 points plus leader in case of uhlans. Maybe two groups of 16 can do special things.
– we played on 61 points in Bolter.pl.
– Sharp Practice is great system for narrative playing – one Krzysiek leaders broke his leg, other one was heavily wounded by Russian Jagers bullet.
