Burn the windmill, skirmish in Vendée, 1794

[SgtPerry]

Here's another after action report of Moulins & Chemins Creux ( Windmills and Sunken Roads ), a modification to Legends of the Old West.

In this scenario, the Vendeen party must protect the windmill from the republican hussars de la mort.

[Colonel Tubby]

Wow - as good as the 'Capture the Bridge' battle report!

I hope you continue to keep us up-to-date with progress in the Vendee?

[Plynkes]

Excellent stuff. More, please.


By the way, what has the First Republic got against windmills? Are they not sufficiently egalitarian? 

[SgtPerry]

Some mills were used for the powder but the most important they were used by the royalists as a communication system : http://perrysheroes.free.fr/spip.php?article257

[Plynkes]

Ah, it all makes perfect sense now. Thank you very much.

[Aaron]

Ah, that does make perfect sense. A sort of makeshift Chappe telegraph, eh?

[General Roos]

Excellent! Vive la roi!

[Centaur_Seducer]

Its a cool idea for a rather neglected age (everything Napoleon tends to focus on the large scale battle)
Look forward for some more!

[Gluteus Maximus]

Lovely stuff, Olivier! You've really captured the look of the Vendeen countryside.

It makes me wish we were going back to the Vendee this year, but I suppose Brittany isn't a bad holiday destination instead 

[Axebreaker]

Love the windmill!
