The Loose Association of Wargamers

Although the game is tomorrow, I'm already set up (I'm so organised!).

The historical battle was in 1757. The Austrians, under Konigsegg, were tasked with slowing down Bevern's Prussians.
The Austrians, although out numbered, had good positions, utilising villages & redoubts along their line.









The Prussians will be placed on the table by my opponents, tomorrow, after they view the Austrian positions.

What will make this battle different is that historically a number of Austrian line battalions retreated seemingly for no purpose.

To simulate this, I will throw percentage dice every turn, and if/when a score of 90% or more is made, a brigade of 4 battalions will be removed from the table; creating a rather large hole.

My opponents don't know this or the significance of my dice rolling each game turn. I'm hoping it makes them nervous.

Hopefully more photos etc tomorrow if I remember to take them.

Nice table.

Nicely done. I am currently refreshing some of my old 28mm SYW figures ready for some kitchen table action later this year. EB has convinced me to try out the Rank and File rules for this period.

Good man.

Had Iain emailed you his Quick Reference Sheet? I'm sure he will. Just make sure you download it on WiFi and not Mobile data or you'll use up your monthly allowance..

Excellent looking game. Look forward to more pics once the action starts.

So,, being completely honest, you have actually had 263 years to get ready.

And to be fair, it doesn't look like you've wasted a single minute. Spiffing set-up!

Superb! Reichenberg is also on my 'to-do' list.
