Mollwitz in 6mm

[World2dave]

My table is set up for a refight of Freddie's first battle (and the first one where he legged it from the field before the end). It's about his only battle where the two armies deployed in the formal way they were supposed to in this era. Although it looks a bit symmetrical it should still provide a worthwhile game due to the disparities in troop quality (good Austrian vs poor Prussian cavalry, good Prussian vs poor Austrian infantry).

I really need another row of boards to extend the Prussian right/Austrian left flank by a foot, but don't have enough winter terrain. Hopefully I'll get to play a few moves this week, and I'll put some more pics on my blog when I do.

Wow!
This is a nice surprise.

Any thing other than a fine Prussian victory will have me coming over and exacting some stern Prussen discipline.

Smashing stuff. What figure range are they?

[goat major]

Looks absolutely amazing ! Is this your first full playtest of the rules ?

[World2dave]

Thanks guys, appreciated. Good old Heroics & Ros figures throughout, no moustaches or noses to paint thank god!

GM: it's the biggest game I'll have tackled yet, but the mechanics are fairly simple as you know (albeit with more period flavour than the FPW set they're derived from), so should be OK.

[Ilkley Old School]

That looks so nice.

[Peeler]

H&R? Can't fault them.

[Essex Boy]

That looks very splendid indeed, Dave.

You know how HR foot come in strips, did you base them on the strops, or snip & base individually?

[World2dave]

In the main they're in their original strips (of 5) but of course I've gone and done 2 ranks of 6 per base so there's been some chopping required.
