Another Second Schleswig War outing - rather adapt for the last game of the year at the Wyvern's Club.
Henrik continues to expand his collection with hedges, rivers and fences... bbbrrrr......
The Danes take to field again looking to stem the advance of the Prussians and a fight for the farm house.
Shifting the Jagers from the centre field was a real challenge, it took odds of 3:1 to eventually drive them back, but not without significant losses.
A fresh unit of Prussian cavalry take to the field - A lovely looking unit. Eagles of Empires gives a fun game. The points mechanism is a real challenge, with the switch between table top tactics and the drive for victory points. Not sure about the Hand to Hand Combat which feels a little bit clunky, but overall a a slick system and fast paced.
Meanwhile It's amazing what drives the trends on the blog. What keeps SPQR in the popularity list I tend not to see too many players playing it? Nice to see Laserburn creeping up ranks along with a little bit of Flash Gordon.
Thanks to everyone who called out Minifigs... I am now the proud owner of Modred and a few extra's to add to the Arthurian experience.
Great looking game abd figures, Stu. I never tried out those rules, although they look pretty playable.
ReplyDeleteFeels a little like Bolt Action, although you lose bases within a unit rather than figures. Tempted to adapt to Sharp Practice to see how it compares.

That looks like a chill , windswept battlefield Stu....I assume this war took place in the depths of winter? It all looks very bleak, including the Danish troops in their sombre kit!
ReplyDeleteFrom what I understand, not to familiar with the period myself but all of the paintings of the time seem to be very 'white'
