Russians and Prussians at it again.....all in nice straight lines!


Something different and original...NOT! 
We enjoyed our stoush so much last game, we lined them up and went at it again a few weeks later!
I'd like to think that I could get a better result...and that my Cuirassiers would redeem themselves and my Dragoons would cover themselves in glory...and my green-coated infantry would stop Frederick's blue coats......



 

BUT none of that happened. Uncannily the result was almost identical to the previous game ( and post)....to be honest it seems a waste of time to describe another defeat, .......but the pictures look nice!

  8. Hi John,

    Win or lose, those gorgeous Seven Years War armies lined up in proper linear fashion look absolutely magnificent on the tabletop. The green coats against Frederick's blue coats always make for a stunning spectacle, and the pictures are brilliant.

    Cheers, Andy
