wargame amateur: Relief of Gloucester part 2
http://wargameamateur.blogspot.com/2015/06/relief-of-gloucester-part-2.html
Shako Large Battles Rules. Friday, 26 June 2015. Relief of Gloucester part 2. John very kindly sent me copies of photos he took on Sunday. He took the part of Rupert, so they are taken from the Royalist left wing. He uses the camera in his tablet computer and it seems to cope better with the full table shots than my 'point and shoot' Finepix. Whilst the Royalist cavalry edge forward, the Parliamentary infantry advance. The Parliamentary cavalry move forward. Just before the clash. Thank you very much John.

Shako Large Battles Rules. Monday, 20 July 2015. Shevardino Redoubt - Prelude to Borodino. For the Russians the objective is to hold the redoubt until nightfall, (turn 12), for the French to capture and hold the redoubt by that time.

The Polish uhlans drive off the Neu Russland dragoons. In the centre, Teste's battered batt...

Hesketh's men take on the 'lobsters'. The Red Regiment try and stem the tide. The end of the Red regiment. A most enjoyable game which ebbed and flowed.
