Black Powder definitely lends itself to this scale of game. I also sympathise with the French skipper's decision to try something different - historical tactics we have found in our practice games just leads to early French defeat. Which is a valuable historical lesson in itself - by the time Blucher was allowed to regroup and outflank, and knowing that the Allied contingents could fight every bit as well as the Brits, attacking a superb defensive position when outnumbered and outflanked is a fool's game!Sparkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07008013944950635778noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4809892888059311958.post-26984699222805234912015-06-16T07:31:04.234+12:002015-06-16T07:31:04.234+12:00Ah!

What a ripper and a close run thing indeed.<br />Shame about the result, as you say (francophile to francophile!).<br />A little aside to make you smile, I too got to command Lobau in a game on the weekend. We did not manage to change history either...<br />To think you have another one to come in a couple of weeks too.
