GdA-Albuera Day 2

Myself and Graham got together last Saturday to finish off our first go at GdA2. I have played maybe a dozen games of GdA in the past but have never actually went the full number of turns as recommended by the scenario. As previously noted, we decided to play the Albuera scenario from the GdA2 rulebook. We had put in a little over 2 hours and left the figures on the table.

So it was with some anticipation, we continued our game. We had 11 turns to go, you will remember that I was playing the French and Graham the Anglo-Spanish.

This was a well played game and Graham was able to hold off the French and thus be victorious! This session which took about 5 hours really cemented my opinion that this is a brilliant set of rules. We were slowed down a few times in the game to check things in the rulebook as we had several multiple charges and combats in this session but I was really pleased to actually finish a game. I am quite confident that I could get most 16 turn games done now in 4-5 hours and with more experience probably to 3-4 hours. By the end of the game we were quite used to the QRS and could find things rapidly.
