Early WWI Game

Today we pkayed our first game since late October. The game was an early WWI game, with a reinforced British battalion and a French battalion, with artillery and cavalry support, holding two small villages against three German infantry battalions supported by artillery, a machine gun company, some jägers and a squadron of uhlans.

It was a hard fought game which the Anglo-French force won on points in the very last turn. Both sides suffered dreadful casualties. 

Here are a few shots of the game.

    1. Thank you Phil. I agree that the artillery models look impressive. Unfortunately they don't appear so impressive when they are shooting at you!
