Don's 54mm-Imaginations with Del Prado

[DonVoss]

With the next Covid Lockdown coming up here in germany... I was trying something weird and new... for me at least...

I grabbed all my heavy Del Prado minis and thought of combining them to a Imagination solo-match.
Sat down and wrote my own old school rules.
I wanted something easy, straight forward. With single minis, no trays, and casualtys laying on the table and a grind for easy movement and so on....

I organised my "armies" in 6 men Inf battllions, 3 men Cav regiments and guns + 4 men crew.

I opted for a small 1,2m x 1,2m-table. With a 20cm grid.
All full of old school terrain (unpainted stones and unbased cheap trees) ....and an old Games Workshop ragfull of wrinkles for table cloth...

I wont bore you with my imaginations background, but its something with frenchi-like troops invading a small german-like buffer state.
The germans are in the foreground. While the french are attacking the farm in the center.





You can spot the grid...its marked by small stones.
For scenery I had the farm, 2x difficull terrain and one small wood.

I just took a few shots so no real battlereport, but the troops of the german Herzog got the better start.






They managed to break one of the frenchi-like battllions...





But were to crazy in the middle...
The Reiter Oberst rode full speed in the center line of the Frenchies...







While the cannon of the Herzog got a few good shots at the frenchie grenadiers.












The Frenchies wiped the Herzogs horse in the center in a concentrated effort.







In the last turn the Herzogs tried to drive the Frech out of the farm, but was repulsed.
The Frenchies had again no luck with their activation and just stayed at attention...








So, the battle was after 6 rounds a bloody tie: 10 casulties on each side.

I had a lot of fun with this solo-game. And if I am not tooo distracted, I will probably do some more work on the rules...

Cheers,
Don
