Game preview for Sunday 21st October 2018.

We haven't had a "Horse and Musket" game for a while,so I thought we would do one on Sunday coming, and it would be a Marlburian game set around 1710.
If possible I like to set each side a realistic problem to solve,and this game revolves around the British trying to prevent an out-flanking move by the French,whilst attempting to out-flank the French via the town-simple?????

This is the scenario,I think I'll pick sides for this game,working on personalities!!!-should prove interesting!

A "bird's eye view " of the table,as the "boys" will see it as they arrive.


The game will start with two fire-fights already in progress,in the centre and in the town,this will ensure action from move number one!!

Roll on Sunday.

  1. Good looking scenario John. Im certain there's a wargaming classic there in your scenarios. Seriously have you considered producing a book using your simple sketch maps and scenarios. Please discuss if I get to Middlesbrough and manage to get a word in edge ways.
