Well another splendid engagement as we work our way through the Alps en route to the final victory i m sure. The French defences did look tough from the other side of the stream. I figured there was scope to attack the end of the French Right flank, as the river cliffs provided some cover. Unfortunatley it was also rather cramped. A few bayonet charges helped with that but really it was the Austrians who after an initial bloody nose were able to majestically sweep away the French left in the old style (aided by throwing 5 straight 6s!). Colins amendments allowed a bit more of the period flavour eg slower Austrians (limit of two moves), bayonet worshiping Russians etc. The scenery is superb as is the misc figures wandering about in the background, Bon John the Redhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15430439684087903722noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8467940965162601045.post-5341109106768882492017-03-13T16:12:20.324+00:002017-03-13T16:12:20.324+00:00Yes if you discount blunders and FUBARs, David.
