What was the last ruleset you played 2017?

[vonlacy]

1) What ruleset do you use in your last game? - Command and Control
2) What armies were confronted? - Late war Germans and Americans
3) Did you feel comfortable with the ruleset? - No
4) and... was this the first time you used this ruleset? - First time out with thesee
5) How many players were in the game? - Seven

After a three evening game I am not impressed with Command and Control. May be OK with just two players but with seven they are slow and clunky, too long is spent waiting around. Combat and firing is short and bloody when you eventually get there.

The memory is too recent and too painful.

Why - you should be used to losing by now....

[Ithoriel]

1) What ruleset did you use in your last game? - Tribal (with the Primeval supplement)
2) What armies were confronted? - A Homo Heidelbergensis tribe vs Mammoths
3) Did you feel comfortable with the ruleset? - Yes, only our 3rd game but the rules are pretty straightforward
4) and... was this the first time you used this ruleset? - 3rd game
5) How many players were in the game? - Two

The hominids used too many honour points to select figures and had too few left to absorb the impact of an unexpectedly aggressive Mammoth!

The game started with the Mammoth charging the hominid Chief and basically tap dancing on his chest  ... things kind of went downhill from there

Is a second toothache significantly less distressing?

1) What ruleset did you use in your last game? - Wing scale Volley & Bayonet
2) What armies were confronted? - Patriots v Loyalists
3) Did you feel comfortable with the ruleset? - Very
4) and... was this the first time you used this ruleset? - No, have lost count
5) How many players were in the game? - Our five regulars, 3 Patriots, 2 Loyalists

The scenario was based on Monmouth, they said they wanted a large game

After the first few turns the Loyalists had deployed to attack the central hill (right) and were advancing across Wemrock Brook onto Combs Hill (foreground)

The Patriot Continentals had lined the West ravine (background) and were also rapidly approaching Wemrock Brook (left)



Can you spot the rather major flaw in the Loyalist plan

The initial Loyalist attack on the central hill has gone reasonably well but Patriot reserves have been fed in and the hill is still contested

On the Loyalist left (foreground) the Continentals are across Wemrock Brook and the Loyalists troops have been unable to deploy to best advantage

On the Loyalist right (background) the Continentals have surged across the West ravine to destroy the Loyalist units that had had been on the central hill, further to the right a close range fire fight is raging



The Regiment von Bose and one wing of the 2^nd Battalion, 71^st Foot trade musket balls with the 1^st Maryland Regiment at 25 yards, 1^st Battalion, 71^st Foot advances in support



I made the mistake of charging with the Hessians, it did not end well

With both flanks exhausted or collapsing the survivors of the Converged Light Infantry and the 17^th Light Dragoons prepare to cover the withdrawal of the Loyalist army

Great looking game Paulr!

[d_Guy]

Second! Another great looking game.

Can you spot the rather major flaw in the Loyalist plan :-

It is only a flaw if you lose. Otherwise it is cited in textbooks as "bold, brilliant and flaunting all the conventional rules of how to maneuver in battle"

Not often you get 6 Corps on a table in one night!
Prussians felt the wrath of the Guard Zouaves, French held the Prussian advance, broke two divisions to the loss to f one artillery battery.
So, French lost!

Weite up tomorrow.
