Title: Advance to Guanabacoa Havana 1762 AAR
Post by: mluther on 28 February 2024, 10:38:09 PM

The second game in our 15mm Havana Sharp Practice campaign was a lot of fun with some interesting Cuban/Spanish units. This game inspired by the Stuart Imsch booklet Against Spain: Wargaming the Sieges of Havana and Manila 1762-1764.  This scenario takes place 6 miles or so from the Cojimar beaches, June 8, 1762.  The Spanish send out forces to oppose the Crown advance and plan on meeting them along a ridge outside of Guanabacoa.

The Edinburgo Dragoons did about as well as they historically  They stumbled down the slope through the rocks and yucca and got blasted by the Lights.
When you go to the Flickr site the full game and picture description is available if you click on the individual pictures.
Thanks,
