Hold the Pass!
For a week the tired Maritime army had marched hard in pursuit of the retreating Rosmark forces. It was almost a relief when they approached Grant’s Pass and saw the enemy guns posted atop the crest of the narrow pass. The army had been marching in two columns along parallel roads which converged to run through the pass. The order went out for the cavalry … Continue reading Hold the Pass!
When the Hurley Burley’s Done
Actually it is done. But I haven’t written up the battle yet. Hopefully I’ll do that tonight after I get home from playing in a Big Napoleonic game with Little 15mm guys. Continue reading When the Hurley Burley’s Done
The Battle of the Boinne (2/2)
When the battle resumed, I decided it was time for the Maritime army to press the attack. A bridgehead has been established. With the bridgehead finally secured, Maritime reinforcements poured into it…..until they ran out of room. The Rosmark forces had fallen back, brought up reserves and established a line on the heights. The attention shifted again to the flank. The flanking forces on both … Continue reading The Battle of the Boinne (2/2)
The Battle of the Boinne (1/2)
Life does have a habit of interfering, instead of a tight series of games, this mini-mini-campaign has been dragging its heels with this game being played in three sessions over the course of a week. I haven’t the time and “Mental Oomph” (technical term) to create a proper narrative so it’ll have to be a quick recap, game thoughts and pictures, all rolled together. Before … Continue reading The Battle of the Boinne (1/2)
Huzzah 2019 Sittingbad – Game 3
Saturday afternoon was what I thought of as our main game though it wasn’t much bigger than the previous game once I’d scaled down the unit sizes and table size so we could finish in the time available. I figured 4-6 players would be optimum but was prepared for as few as 1 (or none) with GM’s playing or as large as 8. Happily we … Continue reading Huzzah 2019 Sittingbad – Game 3
Huzzah 2019 Game 2
Home at last! (Stopped to enjoy some family time and not to mention watching GofT finale in good company. (I liked it btw, pretty close to what I had been expecting for a while but that’s not relevant here. ) Back to Huzzah!. Friday night’s game was the first ambush scenario from CS Grant’s Scenarios for Wargames. This is another old favourite that I have … Continue reading Huzzah 2019 Game 2
Huzzah 2019 Game 1
Not quite home yet but there’s time for a blog post. Rob and I RV’d nicely, arriving at our destination about an hour apart after each making an approach march of about 1,000 km. How’s that for converging columns? Rosmark’s forces deploy. To keep things simple I set out a few terrain pieces and we deployed symmetrical forces. Rob had grabbed a free table and … Continue reading Huzzah 2019 Game 1
