Using the 1998 "Risk" (kneeling infantry, shakos) plastic figures for this modified Napoleonic battle scenario from the Junior General website .
"I've been in this position before at the Battle of Marengo. I lost the battle at five o'clock, but I won it back again at seven!"
Hougoumont, Waterloo, Netherlands (today, Belgium)
The farm house. Allies in front. British flanking and in reserve
Early fire with equal casualties
Heavy losses on British left flank
British allies are forced back to farm house
Hanoverian Jaeger rifle fire is devastating
British retreat to farm house as Coldstream guard regulars arrive
The fight for the farm house begins
Hand to Hand in the Farm house and yard
Vive La France
A back and forth battle that could have gone either way with the melee battle in the farm house and yard.
"Give me night or give me Blucher"
Are those the Junior General rules as well?
ReplyDeleteModified, but basically the same.
DeleteI'd be interested in seeing your version. I've run quite a number of games for kids using the JG rules, but they are not always quite what I'd prefer.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your AAR!

The rules, I mean, not the kids.
