Title: Kurudere 1854 redux, BBB
Post by: vtsaogames on 11 August 2017, 10:08:41 PM

Last night the Corlears Hook Fencibles took a second try at the 1854 Crimean War battle of Kurudere using the Bloody Big Battles rules. Since we don’t have the right troops, Blucher’s Prussians stood in for the Russians while 1870 French played the part of Turks. Be warned, uniform heresy is revealed in the photos below.

You are quite welcome Chris, love the rules and the scenario is crackerjack.

Two weeks hence we will test drive my in-progress Marengo scenario using this brand new (paint still wet) canvas battle mat:

Another look at the mat showed that I missed some vineyards. Here is the mat after they have been added on, along with some trees, a few houses, and troops in their approximate starting locations.

Not that different than before, but less open ground and more obstructed line of sight.
