Battle Report - Napoleonics

Hello All,

Time for another Wednesday wargaming battle Report!

This week we are playing a small Napelonic battle. I dont have that much painted honestly, so we were limited by that.

No real scenario just go have a fight and see how it goes. Prussians  vs French with me as the Prussians.


I just set up in massed formation, while the French were set to march.


Advancing up, french shake out into lines.


Next turn move into close range ready for some vollies. I expanded my 2 Landwher unit to shoot, and kept the good units massed for a charge, the cavalry just faced each other


After some close action, units just taking turns hammering each other and rallying. Charging turned out pretty ineffective.


French decide to mass and try some charges.


Finally able to break the first French unit, but they quickly break a Landwher infantry. The the French cav breaks mine. But a lucky artillery shot sees them off as well.

This left us with 2 on 3, and the Prussians were much more fresh. So the French packed it in.

We decided to call it a bloody draw, or perhaps minor advantage to Prussia.


Thanks;
Mike
