The French got reliable attack column and first fire with the Zouaves getting ferocious charge. The Russians were too tough. I reduced their stamina from 4 to 3 but made them Stubborn. They were too hard to kill.Colin Ashtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11650235978313356607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8467940965162601045.post-55890448199565371072014-03-18T10:50:27.992+00:002014-03-18T10:50:27.992+00:00Yes, I know with hindsight that I made the Russian...Yes, I know with hindsight that I made the Russians too tough.

You couldnt kill the buggers with a machine gun.<br /> Great game though.

They stayed off to long and then declined to get too close to the river to make any difference.<br /><br />Pleased with Jonny Turk though. They were a brigade of 4 small battalions, who saw off 4 large Russian battalions through a combination of excellent shooting and resolute use of the bayonet. This broke the Russian centre and contributed to the stalling of the Russian counter attack on the Allied Right flank. If only the rest of the allied forces had performed to the same standard!!<br /><br />Good game and excellent host<br />John the Redhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15430439684087903722noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8467940965162601045.post-27434606209171785142014-03-16T18:34:15.276+00:002014-03-16T18:34:15.276+00:00Thanks Joe.
