On last weekend we played a battle in General d’Armee, there were four of us, Bartek and Jędrzej were playing France and me and Tomek were playing coalition lead by Great Britain with Portugal, Russia and Spanish as here allies.

Many thanks to all participants for great game and for great time after, on dinner in SOTE pub close to Bolter. Of course I hope that we will continue our games and I will wake up again on Sunday mornings.

Both sides started in opposite corners of the table – here objectives – two stone bridges.
Allied cavalry appeard first, British hussars and Polish Uhlans loyal to the Tzar.
Our plan was to cross the river and secure bridge for infantry.

French cavalry manged to cross water in the middle – coming in sight of allied infantry.

Summary:
– at the end French succesfully secured one bridge, another one was still in hands of Allied troops. I think that we need more time to play such game – we played around four hours.
– thank you to Rafał for showing me rulebook for this, after small talk why I losed interest in Black Powder ruleset, which is simple, but few things with really bad rolls can destroy your will to play. Then tests with Kuba and Tomek – that’s it, I’m waiting for second edition of General d’Armee.
