Pike and Shotte Epic Battles: The Battle of Herbsthausen 15th May 1645
Please hit that Subscribe and LIKE button and share!
Friday night at Farnborough Wargaming club we thought we'd give Tony's new Epic Pike and Shotte figures a first outing and so I worked out a scenario for the Battle of Herbsthausen, 5th May, 1645. It was between the Imperialists and French and neither of us had French so dont look at the flags too closely!
It was a fun game where the French have to hold as long as possible against overwhelming forces.I think Paul and Tony did very well in the end!

Our second game of the new General d'Armee 2 rules playing one of the scenarios from the Vitoria campaign book pitching French vs British and Portuguese in June 1813. We were working our way through the rules so we didnt get the game completed but it was still fun. Mistakes will have been made of course!

I've been assembling a Celtic army for Hail Caesar and thought I'd lay out all I have collected so far. Some of these figures are from my older 28mm ancient armies which I have rebased for Hail Caesar.

This was a great fun game at Farnborough Wargaming Society shorting three Black Powder novices, Graham, Andy and Michael through a fun little scenario which I adapted from Napoleonic Scenarios 1 for General de Brigade. 15mm Napoleonics.
Sorry it's so long but I enjoyed the banter so much I didnt want to leave much out!
