Title: British Prussian Dust up
Post by: Alfrik on 19 January 2010, 04:51:32 PM: A Pizza and Cold Ones battle fought the other day where Prussian Training and a will to carry on despite losses vs British training and marksmanship led to quiet an encounter. My Prussian force suffered from poor firing but great Moral rolls! Klanken Troopen fire on the other hand cleared problem positions for me though :)

My opponent, Skrapwelder, was cool and collected, managed his Brits well and in the end withdrew in good order.

That's a polite way of putting it ;). In our games the loser is usually packed off home in shame and crying for their mum. That's if there's anything left on the board!

Great report, thanks for sharing.

If I had given more consideration to the effects of the Klanks being along the line of three infantry units all firing at once I would have had my batman lay out the smoking jacket far earlier.

Another turn like that last one and I would have been calling for the earth tone britches. lol

I think it's excellent that they have Shakos! A wonderful concept!

I'd love to do a VSF Prussian army of Robots led by a nutty professor, all with Shako...

Hmmmm ;D

Say Hi to Randy van Vranken for me if/when you see him.

Looks like it was tense battle.

Gracias,

Glenn
