Black Powder - Napoleonic Wars and French and Polish and Russians and United Kingdom and Warlord Games tancreddebeauville 19:30

Today in Wrocław we played our monthly Black Powder game. Today we played Great Britain against unusual alliance of France and Russian Empire. Today British side focused on crossing river (cross it with 13 infantry battalions/cavalry regiments) in four places (two bridges and two fords), French and Russian tried to stop them.

  • Two bridges, in addition there were two fords – one on far left and other on far right.
  • HQ of allies inside monastery tower.
  • British are coming!
  • Russians with supporting French on right flank.
  • Left flank belonged to French, middle belonged to French plus cavalry reserve (including Polish uhlans on tsar service).
  • French marching.
  • Time to start.
  • French send screen of skirmishers ahead of main units.
  • More and more soldiers of the British Crown.
  • When right flank had problems with understanding orders, middle and left flank on allies side moved. Artillery took hill and hid behind a fence.
  • Russian artillery got orders to shoot British battery on the other side of the river.
  • British crossed bridge in the fron of Russians.
  • French moved into the forest.
  • HQ send small regiments of light cavalry to aid Russians and French.
  • British crossed also other bridge. French tries to send them back.
  • More British in front of Russian flank.
  • Charge on bayonnets with supporting charge of uhlans on the flank.
  • Both lines shooting they opponents.
  • British also want to pass river by the ford.
  • Few units of French-Russians alliance were broken and left field .
  • Hussars are coming.
  • Uhlans charged unit in it rear and unhappily were broken and fled.

WFB 7th: Dwarfs vs Empire and Kislev Sobota, Paźdź 9 2021 

7th and Dwarfs and Empire and Games Workshop and Kislev and Warhammer tancreddebeauville 20:59

Today in sunny Wrocław (PL), we played friendly Polish Italian match in Warhammer Fantasy Battle 7th edition. First time I tried Steam Tank and need to learn how to use it.

I guess, that next time we should order some pizza to Bolter where we played (if we can of course).

  • Only wizard on the table – spells from lore of Beast.
  • Empire and Kislev battle line.
  • Both sides.
  • Dawi artillery hat Steam Tank and unhapilly damaged it.
  • Remnants of Knights Panthers fought well.
  • Steam Tank destroyed by Dawi cannons.
  • Artillery duel won at last by Dawi cannon of Alessandro. Before I hat his cannon twice and for first time roll 1 for wound, then, rolled one for how many wounds. Still, I had great rolls on armour saves.
  • Better and better in guesing ranges.

Summary:
– as many times before, it was great game with Alessandro, today I was massacred – but this is part of our hobby, still it depends on with whom you play.
– it was great to see Rafał, Generał and Krzysiek, still need to plan better our still small events (need to learn from Kris about multiple games).
– first time with Steam Tank – need to learn how to use it, maybe from General or Wuja.
– we agreed to play next Saturday, so everything before us>
– we spend some time of talking about rules – probably playing with 6th editions army books on 7th edition rulebook is better – still there are more models in 7th edition – we need to do a party like in Bilbo house and talk, play and talk.
– wish everyone great Sunday!
