FPW - Final prep and set up

With the game approaching and the final orders in from the respective commanders I got a rough map drawn (excuse my handwriting) and sent to the players. On theirs I marked their respective deployments. I then went down to the club and got the armies sorted out and those that can be seen on the table.

The game will begin after the Prussian cavalry under Prinz Albert reported that he had engaged and pursued some Franc-Tireurs just north of Baccarat and continued the pursuit until he came under fire from French troops dug in south on Luneville. He immediately called up the Wurtemburg Division to support him, hoping the rest of the army would march to the sound of the guns. Prinz Albert estimates he has around 2 Divisions of French infantry to his front and it is his belief that the rest of the French army is in the area.

My badly drawn map

The troops that can be seen by either side are now deployed on the table ready for the start.

Prussian Cavalry and Wurtemburgers

French 3rd Division, III Corps

French 2nd Division, III Corps

Looking south to Saint-Clement and the Prussian cavalry

The rest of their troops are on trays ready for deployment. The French will have two more divisions on the table, just at the moment the Prussians cannot see them.

Remaining Wurtemburgers

Prussian VI Corps

Bavarian 1st Division and Corps troops

Bavarian 2nd Division

French XII Corps

French 1st and cavalry Division, III Corps

I now just need to finish painting up 2 ft of trench works to cover some of the French infantry and to help represent them as dug in. Looking forward to the game now.
