War of the Spanish Succession - Attack on the Supply train
« on: 23 January 2018, 09:00:30 AM »
A small scenario based game from last night with a French supply convoy being attacked by an Anglo-Dutch force. 
The French wagon train whilst rumbling through a heavily wooded area has been caught by an Allied force of almost equal size but with more horse and dragoons (the latter troops proved to be a real problem for the French who had none of their own to counteract them).  The figures are all from the collections of Mark & myself with all scenery from the Grimsby Wargames Society.  More on my blog  -more photogrpahs and more explanation of the ideas behind the game.

Thank you one and all.

The rules are our own "Corporal John & the Sun King".  Very much in the Gilder style - lots of dice, whole figure casualties and simple.
