We played in Bolter.pl in Wrocław, game in Sharp Practice on 50 points per side. I had three units and Kris had two units. Russia against Germany, battle for some bridge, somewhere in Eastern Europe. It was fast game, maybe it was one hour or one and half hour. I had three groups of Line Infantry under 3 lvl leader, Polish Uhlans with lvl 1 leader and Jagers with leader lvl 2. Kris had also three groups of his elite infantry with 4 lvl leader and skirmishers – not sure about level of leader, but all costs were up to 50 points.

  • Russian three groups of infantry marched as first unit to the village. Then Tiff finished first turn.
  • In the middle of village is a bridge.
  • Russian Jager infantry marched to the table.
  • Also uhlans deployed successfully.
  • Germans are coming.
  • Main target is to secure other side of bridge.
  • German skirmishers runned to the bridge.
  • Infantry followed.
  • Germans are coming to the bridge and Russians are reading maps.
  • Comrade, Germans are coming.
  • Germans crossed bridge with infantry on and skirmishers get into the forest, to shoot down Russians.
  • Russians formed into the line and started shooting at skirmishers.
  • Not many scored a hit, but one hit they own leader in head – resulting with losing one level of leadership.
  • Germans formed line and started shooting.
  • Then fixed bayonnets and charged on Russians.
  • Cruel meele combat started – Russians losed five men – wounded or killed, one group broke due loses.
  • Followed by two more groups retreating. Morale of my army went down from eight we started to two.
  • Then, with another group broken, morale went down to 0. Russians fled the field.
  • Retreat!

Summary:
– we played interesting game, with larger groups of soldiers under better leaders.
– I did mistake and focused on shooting on large unit, jet I should activate uhlans and jagers different way – to cross river by fords.
– after first shoots infantry should fix bayonnets and charge like did Kris.
