Borodino (ver 1)

Saturday saw me venture into the wilds of North Devon to play with the really big 28mm stuff of David Gale.  I stayed away from the realy realy really big 54mm stuff, though I was assured it was entertaining for hooking the youngsters.

 

Russian DeploymentAs previous games needed a couple of more turns to complete, we decided to try a game with no Cavalry.  David has a Grand Redoubt, so I suggested we refight part of Borodino (as per the WHC) and set about having Davout attack a small Russian Force, defending the major earthwork.

 

 

 

 

Fench DeploymentThe Army list we eventually laid our hands on had 17 battalions under Davouts command.  Eventually, with a few British and Prussian reinforcements, David could deploy a large number of his collection.

 

 

 

 

 

Eventually the hoardes of French got close enough, with enough troops to take the battery.

A fun day
