Today me and Bailey along with Rob, Bob and Lee were invited over to Grimsby's war gaming club. They have there own building and it is amazing with there own storage and gaming tables. Dave and Malc put on a large black powder game from the Franco - Prussian war. All the miniatures were 28mm and the table was 18 by 6 foot long, which was all set up on arrival. Two other players from the Grimsby club joined in. (Was a real battle fought in the war, with the correct units).
Game set up.
Each player received an envelope giving them there side, units, time of arrival, objectives etc.
Me, Bob and Rob got the smaller French side trying to hold the town, Bailey, Lee and two others were given the larger Prussian forces arriving at timed intervals trying to push the French out.
Early Game.
The French deployed in the town and along the eastern flank. The Prussians came on along the west flank and north west flank with a few units at a time. Some exchanges of fire with no major damage done to either side. The Prussians under Lee took the middle building and formed a line along the western flank waiting for more units to arrive before there push. The French sent some cavalry down the east flank then along the southern side of the table. Bobs units went north and held the building with the Prussians trying to force them back down.
Break for Grimsby fish and chips. ( not very Franco Prussian war but very nice!!! )
