Hey All,
Played one of of the scenarios put together by the 'oldmeldrumwargamesgroup' the Battle of Raab, June 1809.
We used Blucher rules and 6mm armies. We replicated history with a French victory but the battle followed a very different path to the historical one. It was a near run thing with the French securing victory on the last turn by capturing both their objectives, the town of Szabadhegy and the fortified farm of Kismeyer.
The antagonists...
The Viceroy Eugène de Beauharnais leading the French cavalry!

Nice to see the 6mm making an appearance and the 'dice shako' is a nice touch.
