Ment to post these last week however I have been busy looking after my Mum and driving up and down to Hereford and wales.

This game was played by Mark (Peeler) Prussians and Gary French / Austrians.
Once again a fast moving game, Mark had an unlucky run of bad dice that put him on the back foot throughout the game.
Both sides played very gentlemanly. Gary won the game by getting several wagons off the table and destroying a couple of Marks battalions.

It looks splendid - and kudos to whoever taught those hussar horses to goose-step!

(I shall now probably find that all my bank accounts have been cancelled......)

Thanks for the AAR, Willz. Did IR23, a favourite unit of mine, survive the hussars' charge?

Sadly, no both battalions were overrun by the hussars (sadly Peeler's infantry could not fire as the hussars charged within short range). I have modified the rules to allow half the battalion to fire if charged under half range.
