Today we played small Black Powder game with Damian in Bolter.pl. Typically Black Powder games looks better with many batallions of infantry and regiments of cavalry formed in brigades. Today we played equal forces of infatry brigade composed of two infantry batallions each plus battery of artillery attached. There were also brigade of cavalry composed of one regiment on each side.

  • Russians arrived first and one one failed orders.
  • Then British and soldiers from Hannover arrived.
  • British cavalry crossed river when Polish cavalry regiments stopped they move befor the ford.
  • British cavalry charged Russian 1st batallion, so Russians formed square.
  • Round later orders were issued to form attack column and bayonnet charge.
  • Hannover infantry bravely stood they ground.
  • Joined by British hussars they broke Russians.
  • Artillery shoot at cavalry, but loses among the British were too low, to broke them.
  • Another Russians left the field.
  • Everyone shooting at uhlans and Russian infantry.
  • Russian brigade was routed by Damian’s force.

Summary:
– it’s nice format to play, still few more batallions and it could be even better.
– good occasion to meet some friends and talk about other systems.
– I realized that my top three systems for bigger games are:
1. Warhammer Fantasy Battle 4-7th editions.
2. Black Powder.
3. Bolt Actions.
– for skirmish I’m not sure, but probably:
1. Sharp Practice.
2. wish to play Mordheim or Warheim as I like Warhammer world (thank you old team from Games Workshop).
3. wish to came back to Fallout Wasteland Warfare.
