A few images from Sundays game, which was only a small battle of four Infantry battalions, two gun batteries and two cavalry units per side. I played the British and Andrew the French. Time was short for us hence the small battle. However for Black Powder it seemed to work better then the big game the day before..don’t know why…maybe we just had a better understanding of the rules?

Two Swiss Regiments fielded by Andrew were his best troops.
The French formation, in front of the English line, is what Black Powder call a mixed formation. It has two stands out the front to show the deployment of skirmishers. This proved to be a very handy formation. It took the shock of the first fire rule of the English away. In other words a wasted shot. When playing the French keep it in mind.
The Swiss in front is again in the mixed formation.
The rear French battalion forms square as a possible attacked from the right flank by a squadron of Scots Greys is threatening.
Four rounds of hand to hand fighting passed before my troops entered this village. Even with skirmishers the only defenders it proved hard to take. However with supported flanks and rear the story might have been different…I only attacked with the one battalion.
In the end my line held and I manage to take the village.
Victorious at last.
Very nice! Inspiring, as always.
A fine looking game! Lovely big units.
