I'm thinkin...Thanks very much for this, Neil. <br /><br />I'm thinking about doing this battle as a demo at Derby this year. Should be different and I just have enough Russian infantry to do it at twelve figs to a battalion, though units will be in 24s (2 Btn. Regts.). <br /><br />It's not a battle you see that often - possibly because of the odds but, it's kind of set up with all the Prussians concentrated Vs the Russian right (south) and the Russian left (north) will have miles to move to get into the action. So it should be quite hard fought for the most part.<br /><br />I guess the trick will be in forcing the Russian player not to move his centre until his extreme left finally gets stuck in. From my reading it seems to be that the whole of the left (north) snaked its way southwards following units from the extreme end of the line; the unengaged part of the line didn't just do a 90 degree turn and march south (which would be what most gamers would have it do). A formalised order of march was obviously very important to the Russians, more so than would at first seem reasonable to us dice chuckers.<br /><br />again, thanks, <br /><br />James Roach (Olicana)JAMES ROACHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04019888286247164276noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2781271371391828424.post-21634553690506687372012-08-21T12:21:34.273-07:002012-08-21T12:21:34.273-07:00Great review and pictures of the game!
