So, now sitting on the 1148 Derby to St Pancras en route to Dusseldorf. Have had to leave our BAUTZEN BASH a few hours early and that was a real shame for me. After a grinding Day1 and a real struggle to push the Russian/Prussian Army back from Bautzen, Mauschwitz and the river, the French came out fighting on Day 2 with super exploitation attacks and a Corps strength assault on the Prussian earthworks on the heights by turn 2!
How did Glenn and Alan get on Gerry???????????
Cavalry buzzing all over the table. Mixed results with that... some great performances from French Light Cavalry, Cossacks riding down French Horse Artillery, Prussian Kurassier riding down French lancers, Gerry and Alan winding each other up...... the usual stuff.
I have taken some good pix and will email an album to all players (and DOB!
).
Ade's terrain looked fantastic.
The French fought with 62 battalions on Day 1, the Russian and Prussians with about 54. A well executed defence with the advantage to the Allies.Looking forward to learning the outcome of Day2 and the battle as a whole.. so someone please tell me!
Gunter's talk on the Saxon Army was great. Fantastic new units from Bob... Illyrians, French Naval, Italian, Neapolitan... wow!
Banter great.....
Venue.. a real find!
Food good and the cold shower on Saturday morning got us all fresh for the fight.
Great to see all you chaps from near and far.
Lookog forward to doing it all again soon!
