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!
