Mark's battle was superb and was the best looking game at the show. I have played this three times now and it is a credit to the rules and the subtle amendments for the terrain that make it play so well, and make it difficult for the French to win. The uphill bonus for the British and their ability to hide behind the ridgeline, and the garrisoned farms all made a decisive contribution to the game. Hougouemont was ignored (which gave me a great base to counter attack from), La Haye Sainte was taken by the French and Papellote was stormed by the British, the French and the Prussians in turn. In our game, the French delayed their attack, not with a preliminary bombardment but with a flank attack by Ney which allowed the Prussians to tip the balance. Well done to Mark, and I still think the French can win, so I am looking forward to the next time we play it.Ianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16516968730595682049noreply@blogger.com
