The table is all set up ready for play, as you can see I am advertising this forum and the Fife and Drum forum.

The first game, Marcus took the Prussians and Dave took the Austrian / French.
General view of both armies opening moves.

Lots of action throughout 3 hours of gaming, Marcus and Dave enjoyed the battle and found the rules easy to use.
Dave used his Austrains well and Marcus did not use his artillery advantage, he spent the entire game marching his guns back and forth across the battlefield.

The Prussian got a moral victory but the Austrian had a tactical victory, a draw.
Well done Marcus and Dave and thanks for playing my game and using my rules.

Fantastic looking game, Willz - glad you and all the players had a great time. However, this photo caught my eye:-

Intriguing position taken up by the cavalry (bottom, centre) - obviously meticulously trained horses!

Excellent stuff, Willz. I wish I could have been there to watch. Did you use the original rules or Charles' updated version?

Of course you can they are free to anybody who wants to use them. I am happy that gamers want to use them.
I have some add ons I will put in at a later date, when I dig out my notes from the show.
