Battle of North Point, War of 1812

General John Stricker commands the Americans (top of photo) against the British forces of General Robert Ross (bottom of photo) on September 12, 1814. The tabletop battle is using Frank's Paper armies with more playtesting of Rick's Really Simple rules for Black Powder on a hex board.

 British Command retreats under heavy artillery and musket fire.

An American Victory despite heavy losses

Both sides took massive casualties. The American artillery performed well. Communication became an issue as the British failed to get orders to their troops for extended periods of the battle in the unfamiliar Maryland countryside. 

What a long strange adventure it has been...

                                  filled with a lot of dice rolls, fun times and great friends !

Revisiting Lion Rampant

Frank decided to use his BattleLore board with a modified version of the Lion Rampant rules.  

 The forces of Eldoria (top, North) await the arrival of the Peoples Republic of Sarcasm

 The PRoS Spears seize the woods on their left flank with eyes on the hill to the North 

 Despite hesitation to enter battle the Spears finally seize the heights. 

Eldorian mounted and foot hold their own in the center, but take loses from bows on the flank 

With their flank turned and heavy losses to their main column, the army of Eldoria retreats from battle.

                                                         Prince Codyarf  vows revenge.

I love any chance to play using the BattleLore board and terrain. Nice size hexes and simple terrain for a miniatures battle. Looking to experiment with a rules set using cards and a zone activation in the future.
