Managed to kill all the main leaders to boot and I m sure thats the last we ll hear of them now. Madame Guillotine was nt even required. Vive La France<br /><br />The Republican plan was to attack from the left (naturally), pin in the centre and refuse on the right, whilst keeping the most reliable troops in reserve to deliver the final coup de grace. Broadly speaking it actually worked, with a few ups and downs admittly. I feel us overlooking the 'Untested troops' BP rule during the game may have helped, given 12 batts of my army were untested. The combination of skirmishers and cannon fire did work well against the Emigres but the bayonet oddly enough did for the rebels, scythes and pitchforks not withstanding. The new rule on officer casualties certainly added flavour, given the tendency to lead from the front and get shot during this period. We floated the idea of restricting linear troops to 9" move to reflect the more ancient regime approach compared to the more mobile but more brittle republicans. One to try out next time? <br /><br />Another grand game hosted by Colin and a good start to the new year.
