Dec 5 Quatre Bras prt 4 continuing down the line

The post will be most of the photos I took from set up through turn 4.  I just thought to throw in one of the maps from the book on the Dutch Belgian experience, for place name reference.


Useful if you flip 90 degrees anticlockwse and 'embiggen' in another window.  :-)


 

 Left flank of Allied line....skirmishing Jagers. Backs to the stream.


 All guns in 1st Division firing. Against 8 French batteries.

More of Foy's (Ron M.) initial deployments, French 33 battalions, 8 batteries.  Allies 10 battalions, 2 batteries.


Bachelu (French Greg) deploys along the end of the Balcan heights, poised to take Piramont.


Brunswickers appear, now French 33 battalions and 8 batteries, Allies 19 battalions, 4 batteries.


French near Piramont and Materne pond, Allied left flank in danger!

Ooohhhh....that is A LOT of French! But more Alies are trickling in so not all is lost!

As the turns pile up, the table gets pretty full.

This kind of scenario, where various commands trickle onto the tabletop, are interesting but can be challenging to run as a multi-player game, because of the need to keep all the players involved. How did you manage that?

Commands -French and Allied- came in each hour. the players were invested, all adult, with good knowledge of the rules, No kids left as free babysitting,

I took a command that was busy in the beginning but was gone by turn 5.

It is developing nicely. The French could yet be delayed by those pesky Brunswickers! :)
