This was a two player game fought to test out some changes to the cavalry part of the house rules for Army scale combat at yesterdays meeting.

The day ended with the Austrian Corps forced to retire in the last move, although inflicting a halt on their opponents as they did so – preventing a pursuit.

The figures are all 1/300 Heroics and Ros – ideal for large scale actions of this type. Around 1,000 figures representing about 25,000 real cavalrymen were used.

Our house rules use brigade bases for manoeuvre, with combats fought out at battalion/squadron level, designed for actions of corps/army size using several thousand figures – but capable of being completed in a single day of gaming. The combat phase rolls up the combat outcome into a single dice roll representing the outcome of both firing and melee. The focus in the game is on command and control and effective use of reserves.
