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.
