General De Brigade Swedes vs Russians 1808

[Grigork]

Mel put on 15mm Napoleonic game using the General De Brigade rules for July's Conwy Wargames Club meeting.

The setting was Russia's invasion of Finland in 1808. Finland back then was part of the Kingdom of Sweden and the game saw the Swedish army attempting to fend off a similar sized Russian army. Historically the Swedes were outnumbered and eventually lost the war.

To my disappointment Mel hadn't brought his 15mm menagerie of local fauna.

The game was fought over a roughly 4ft by 3ft board representing  a narrow bit of dry land with lakes and marshes to the left and right not shown. I believe the Swedes represented the rear guard buying time for the main army to retreat.

Gaz and Tony commanded the Russians and Ian the Swedes. Mel umpired.
