O.S. Franco Prussian War Game (Part Two)

 
The French Chasseurs take casualties from the Prussian artillery and are forced to retire.
 
 
On the other flank the French Columns come under fire from the Prussian Jaegers.
 
 
Prussian reinforcements move onto the table.
 
 
The French columns melee with the Jaegers who rout !
 
 
The French have driven the Prussians off - but at a cost !.
 
 
On the other flank the French artillery opens fire - not to accurately though !
 
 
The French try to exploit their success !
 
 
The Jaegers are rallied by their C in C  and form up ready for the French .
 
 
The Prussian reinforcements move forward and engage the enemy .
 
 
The French are cut to pieces by the Prussian volleys and their Brigadier is a casualty .
 
 
The Prussians cross the stricken field .
 
 
On the other flank the Prussians hold on under artillery fire .
 
 
With casualties rising the French C in C issues the order to retire - the Prussians had won !

  1. Brilliant stuff!, your soldiers look splendid.

    Donald Featherstones rules seem to give a good game with a plausible narrative. The basic principles must be sound.

    A very inspirational post,
    thanks,
