On Thursday night at the club a couple of the guys fancied a WSS game. With both never playing the rules before I went for a straight forward encounter, keeping the terrain simple and both armies of similar strength. Each side had 4 infantry brigades of 4 battalions each, 4 brigades of horse, each of 6 squadrons. As it was a training game, it's not much of a write up. It was though good to get the Danes on the table as they last saw battle in the pre-covid days.

| Massed Danish horse |

| Proper linear warefare |

| Bavarian cuirassiers caught in column |

| The firefight in the center continues |

| Somehow the battered Irish infantry repulsed the Danish horse |

| Getting ready to go again |
Not bad for a training game as we got quite a few moves in before we called it a day. Both sides were pretty much fought out. The Danes still held a slight advantage in horse; and would have been able to exploit the French left wing.
I like seeing your armies battling it out on a hex grid. What rules are you using for this training exercise?
ReplyDeleteThey are a home written set, geared towards fast play and large battles, constantly getting updated
