A very successful game. I think we got some real interest from a few novices. Now the tricky question is to whether we continue to give them a single game system each week so they can learn it and embrace it or do we continue to flit from system to system and genre to genre each week.

1000hrs French First Corps advances against Spanish lines


1000 hrs French Second Corps demonstrates against the British defensive positions


1300 hrs: The Commander of the Scots Greys gives the order to charge the limbered French 12 pounders. It would [rove to be a success but as they rallied back to their marshalling area, French Hussars came crashing through, routing or dispersing the whole of the British cavalry.


1530 hrs: End Game. The French close down on the last of the Spanish defenders. They would end up destroying the last of the Spanish cavalry and taking the village in the first attempt.


1530 hrs: The British have advanced while the French fell back before them but their progress is slow and not without some casualties.
