Bredelar 1761, Seven Years War, Game at NBHW
« on: April 01, 2022, 11:48:36 AM »
On Friday 18th of March we got together for a Seven Years War action to try out using Shako II for this period. Shako had a SYW section and several suggested amendments for Shako II can be found online.

The "small" test game was based on two actions around the same time near Bredelar 5th Aug 1761, which our umpire had combined into one. The allied army of Hanover, Brunswick and Great Britain aim was to attack the French rearguard and capture river crossings they were attempting to retreat over cutting them off and forcing a surrender.







I had command of the British on the allied right. After some initial successes for the allies across the board, the dice gods well and truly started to favour the French and several setbacks saw the French able to commence their planned withdrawal mostly unmolested.

As a test of Shako II rules for the Seven Years War it was a successful evening.
