Talavera 208 - Game One

[carojon]

This weekend myself and six friends took the time to recognise National Armed Forces Day and support Combat Stress by playing the first of a series of refights of the Battle of Talavera fought two hundred and eight years ago on the 27th/28th July 1809



In this first game, our French team of players attempted to fight the plan envisaged by their historical counterparts with a few tweaks at improvement.

Of course they couldn't know what our Anglo-Spanish team would do in response!

We had quite a few twists and turns with an uncanny similarity to the actual battle.

If you would like to see how things turned out and perhaps support the project with a contribution to the Just Giving page, then follow the link to JJ's

Hi Chaps, thanks for your comments and really pleased you enjoyed the game report.
As you might have imagined we had a great weekend totally immersed in a big game.
The next play through will be the anniversary game next month.

Cheers
