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......

 

Those Prussians and Russians again..Seven Years War.

 Just about every SYW game we play involves a scenario which makes for some fascinating games. But this time we decided to line our armies up and 'have at' each other...how original??!!

Russians on the left and Prussians on the rght.

Seven Years War - Prussians and Russians

Well my SYW Russians were finally ready - 18 months in the making and they were looking to do some damage. Of course, Rossco's Prussians coincidentally just happened to be ready too...funny that how we both manage to get them ready at the same time!

So we picked a scenario from THE BOOK and played it out one afternoon. 

THE BOOK!

THE SCENARIO

SEVEN YEARS WAR- Russians this time

 With the enjoyment we've had playing Austrians vs French, Ross and I decided to expand our collections and splash out on some other figures. Ross chose Frederick's boys and I went for ( what I think) were his most formidable opponents (not the most consistent): The Russians!
