The Loose Association of Wargamers

Early start up at 0430 on the road by 0500 arrived at Northleach 0750, all set up by 0920 ready to game the battle of Molwitz.
Mike Richards took on the mantle of the Austrian / French / Tiberian army.
I had printed off written order sheets for each turn, to replace Steves order blocks. Once again using my "On the Hoof" rules.

As per normal I have not written a turn by turn account of the game, I will let the photos explain.















































"The grape got him sir" poor old Jean blew his boots off it did.

After some 6 years of transporting these Spencer Smiths across the country he was the first major casualty, base already on the work bench for repair.




It was a great game Mike was a friendly and gentlemanly opponent, the game swung to and fro but having lost my cavalry to a shattering defeat to Mike's cavalry the writing was on the wall
for the Prussians.
Basically the Prussian got a good kicking from Austrians.

You have a wonderful collection, Willz. Always good to see it in action.

Ps Such a shame to see the casualty. You're doing better than our Henry - his veteran Spencer Smiths are becoming really very fragile.

Looking good as always.

That's brilliant Willz

Don't worry, some poor recruit will have claimed the boots and be much happier for it!

Looks like a smashing game, smashing company and a smashing result. Shame about the smashing ankles though.

That all looks splendid ! Very Grant-esque !

Thanks for all your kind comments and support.

Here are a couple of links with excellent photos of mine and other games.
Big thanks to Keith Flint for organising, hosting and posting the event, a big thanks to Steve Johnson for the post on his blog.

Really impressive, Willz. I see you were smiling in the photo on Kieth's Wargaming blog- so it was taken at the start of the game, then?

Were you able to fix the casualty?

Sadly he is beyond repairing a new figure is on the workbench.

Outstanding! So are you based in the Cotswolds then Willz? That's not a million miles from here (about 3 hours), if you ever fancied a game? (I'm up that way next week, oddly enough)
