Sharp Practice 2, Rescue of the Contessa de Knickerbocka

[Sheepman]

A not so serious write up of an ongoing game set in 1795 Piedemount. Well it's all a giggle ain't it!

Just love the terrain, , great looking terrain...who built the church?

[Lardy Rich]

Great buildings. I am very jealous of both the church and tower.

Glad you're enjoying your dalliance with skirmish gaming.

Cheers

Rich.

Second part of the ongoing rescue of the contessa using the very wonderful Sharp Practice II rules by Richard. Do have a read.

Yet another update:
This week Neal's Austrian infantry decided to recreate Usain Bolt's Olympic 200m attempt by quick marching down the road on an audacious out flanking manouvre in order to cut off my retreat point.



Meanwhile the Contessa de Knickerbocka and her escort struggle to cross the drainage ditch to the relative safety of the French camp.



At the same time the French infantry column flounders in it's attempt to cross the same obsticle under fire from their flank.

Many thanks Vcina, I do think the second edition of these rules are tip top, a lot of fun

Another gripping episode. Looking forward to more!

It'll be done and dusted this Tuesday night Richard, if Neals Austrians don't blow a gasket. All depends on who pulls their token out first really.
Love the rules mate, everyone should give em a go.

Just noticed you're in Northumberland.  I'm going to be up in Durham running Sharp Practice for the Lardy gathering "Wor Lard" on Saturday the 25th of this month.  If you're in the area I can let you have details. 

Cheers

Oh, yes please Richard, I will try to persuade Neal to pop along too if your ok with that, he's a nice chap - for an accountant!!!
Dave.

[Lardy Rich]

The event is being run by the Durham Wargames Club, so if you drop me an email I will forward it on to the kind gent who is organising things.    My personal email is richardclarkerli@yahoo.co.uk 

It's always fun event with lots of Lard on offer. 

Cheers

Richard

What happened next, the final push in Piedemont.



The situation from last week shows both sides closing in on the French escape point, who will secure it first, will the Contessa de Knickerbocka escape with her honour intact (not much chance of that given her past) or will Oberstleutnant Von Strumpa have the fair lady in his clutches, do pop in for a look dear reader:
