The Combat of Strehla 1760: The Refight

Post by RMD »

Having recently finished my SYW Reichsarmee I was keen to get it on the table, so last week we refought the Combat of Strehla. It's all on the blog...

Envious, both in terms of quality and quantity.

Lovely looking battle, Mark, and great AAR. Good to see that the natural laws for freshly-painted figures have not changed.

Did you find where Saxe-Gotha was hiding?
If "The System" is the answer, who asked such a bloody stupid question?

Probably somewhere near Windsor.....

Fantastic looking game, tons of 18th century eye candy.

Thanks fellas!

The Saxe-Gotha Regiment simply got left in the box. There were a few unused Reichsarmee units in there (as well as Saxons, Bavarians and Wurttembergers) and they just hid amongst them. The Austro-Imperial players also didn't read their orbat, so they only have themselves to blame... Not that it mattered, as Guasco's command didn't do a thing anyway. :)
