18th Century "Cock Up"

As an avid Scenario writer,it is inevitable that sometimes I will get things wrong,and last night was one of those times!!-I managed to completely misinterpret my own thoughts,and gave an impossible task to one side to accomplish.
Dave,Richard and I were to attack two redoubts,held by Paul and Brian,but the British contingent(Richard) was shot to hell before he even got close-sorry boys!

This shows Richard's first attack being "mangled" as he came out of the woods,and had to form up before he could advance-this was my big mistake,in the scenario writing-I am marching my Austrians to protect his left,whilst Dave was protecting his right.

This photo shows Paul's good position in the redoubt-his troops,however, were very "poor" quality,which should have given the British a good chance of getting in!!

The British are in dis-array,Dave is sending his troops to support,and Brian is looking "glum"-a Google poll has proved that he is the most photographed person on the Web!!

British second attack going in,with superb support from Dave-Brian(the most photographed person on the Web) is still looking "glum"

It's my turn to try and attack the damned redoubt,with my Austrians-they too "bounced" although I am making a bit of progress around the flank,meanwhile,over on the far right,Brian and Dave are getting stuck in.

The last shot of this game-we did manage to get a foot-hold in the redoubt,and Dave's Prussians are making slow progress,but in the end we had to admit defeat.Who's that looking glum?
No more to be said!!
Roll on Thursday-I have issued a sort of "challenge" to Brian,who will be using his Egyptians against an army that I have in mind,should be good,Thursdays always are.
