Well that escalated!  :D

Excellent stuff once again, Din!

I'm just about to start painting my Saxon infantry for Minden, but I was just reading up on Kesselsdorf and Hohenfriedberg and now have the urge to do a much bigger Saxon army than just the post-1756 survivors.

Thank you, dear colleague!
My Saxons are limited to this number of infantry units,

just enough for my version of Minden.
Ah... Kesselsdorf... is one of my future scenarios and games!
But I'm sure you'll be the first and we will enjoy a well played game with an excellent presentation!
Eager to see you playing Kesselsdorf! Cheers!

With more Prussian infantry reinforcements yet to come, Miltiades' dice failed to bring them on table. Worse than this, my dice showed that the Austrian main force is coming!
With his two brigades already on table shaking, Miltiades started complaining that the scenario was not well balanced...
Then I asked him: Your artillery is always shooting against the infantry. Did you try to shoot at the wagons?
With two hits each, the wagons will be out of the game, and especially the ammunition wagon with a sum of 11-12, has a chance to explode!

Magic! Miltiades scores a hit on the ammunition wagon and then brings six and five!
Kaboom!
The ammunition wagon explodes and every unit in 10cm radius will be diced as having received canister!
These are the results!


Oh ! I am sorry my dear friend !
(well  ... not really!)  :D

And I think you liked the scenario in the end!
