Big Bashes.....

Sometimes you just want to line them up and knock them down....

A couple of big games, with plenty of toys on the table. First up a stand up fight between the Brits and French, the whistle of cannon ball and the clouds of black smoke as the French columns looked to break the British line.





In true French style the heavy cavalry charged down the meadow looking to break the thin red line.


Will the British line hold?
Should they have formed a square?
Will 3 rounds a minute put paid to the valiant French attack?


Several hundred years earlier and the Ancient Brits aim to hold back the Roman invaders.




A blood soaked field.
But the Romans hold the line, drill and training beating naked (literally) aggression.

Next up back to the desert.

  2. Agree, exactly the essence of what a wargame should look like.

  3. A couple of excellent looking games there, Stu - possibly could have done with a BIT more detail - so, did the British line hold?? The tables and figures do look stunning though!

    2. Of course they did :-)
      A couple of close run things, when the cards fell well for the French, but a dose of shot and a decent volley the French fell back
      Jolly good fun....
