Saga Night-War of the Roses
Initial Setup |
This ended up being a big mistake for me, with my WL and HG deployed together although I should say the scenario conditions forced me to split my warband in 2. |
Keep the bowmen in the forest |

ACW 15mm Terrain
It does not look like much, but there is 5' of snake rail fence as well as 5' of picket fence. |
Really happy with the print of these fences from 3D PrintTerrain ACW set. |
Some log barricades |
This fencing was put together some years ago and comes from Battlefield Terrain Concepts. It was pretty beat up and I had to reassemble more than half of the pieces. |
Some resin field barricades from Battlefield Terrain Concepts |
A mixture of resin prints as well as some 3D Prints. I am not sure how the haystacks came out but I think they are OK. |
Lots of 3D printed stone walls. |

Mockern-The Battle for Germany 1813
Overview of the Battle of Leipzig |
Victory conditions for the Prussians were to capture Mockern in 20 turns that was made up of 2 BUA's back to back. Victory for the French was to inflict 3 Suave qui Peut's on the Prussians. |
The French kept Bouquet and Joubert as off table reserves. The Prussians had no off table reserves aside from Rummel who would arrive as a reinforcement on Turn 6. |
The table, I think it is roughly 8x5', Mockern is in the distance with the French position to the right. There was large hill on the French side, otherwise open ground. |

Many Rivers Turn 3a Blitzkrieg!
Myself and Graham got together yesterday for our next turn in our Many Rivers to Cross Chain of Command campaign. It had been May since our last game so we were both a little rusty, I should note that this is the first time we used CoCV2 for this campaign, it seemed to meld easily with the OB and support information for the 1940 Germans and British from the Blitzkrieg Hand book. We had the game at Grahams.
