Kolin 1757 Scenario
« on: November 13, 2022, 12:52:44 PM »
I've been looking ahead to our Big Christmas Game and have stuck this scenario together for the Battle of Kolin, 1757.  It's designed for 'Tricorn' rules (my SYW variant of 'Shako' rules), but could easily be adapted to any other set:

That is a beautiful map and the game has great scope - very nice. Every now and then I think we should all cheer the creative gamers that do and share so much.

Very nicely done  Handy too for those of us who only have sufficient figures to do part of the battle.

Looks massive! I loved your previous big SYW battle AAR. So impressed I have since been using your modified rules for our group.

Looking forward to this one.

Thanks fellas! Yeah, I'm really looking forward to playing this one (again).  We did do Kolin as a demo game back in 1998, but no photos exist and I can't remember a thing about the game itself, so a replay is long-overdue.

:o

I think the World Wide Fund for Nature would have something to say about that... 

I think Yarkshiregamer is also campaigning against that sort of thing... https://leadadventureforum.com/index.php?topic=138714.0

Well you certainly put the "Big" in Big Christmas Game with this one...Looking forward to seeing if the Prussians can reverse the course of history, or if the Austrians can repeat it...

Cheers.  Ah, now that would depend which side I'm playing...  >:(

I don't know if you've ever been there but, don't skimp on the Swedish works. They are still pretty impressive today, though the ditch isn't what it must have been - look at the car next to them!



Minor outworks seem extend down to the church too, from the looks of it, as though that structure were made part of them somehow.



The church is a belting model waiting to be made

Cheers Oli!

No, I've never been to that part of the world, but those are fantastic photos! :)  Simon Millar (who did the Osprey book) did show me his photo album following his research trip and I was very impressed as to how big they are even today (there's one photo in his book).
