Louvain 1792

Finally got all of my French Revolutionary figures onto the table at the Boarder Reivers club at Blagdon hall in Northumberland yesterday to fight a fictional battle between the Austrians and French. This isn't exactly a write up but more a gist of what happened. General de Armee rules by the way.

The field of battle itself with a couple of reprobates hanging around!

Encouragement for the Republicans not to bugger it up.

The Austrian line of battle, not exactly subtle, I think maximising firepower will be their thing.

The Republican French.

Close ups of the French.

General pictures of the encounter.

The centre and right of the field as seen from the French point of view. The French plan was to push through the centre, occupy Louvain and hold on. The white coated regular French infantry on their right were somewhat slow in engaging their Austrian counterparts while on their left their poor cavalry attempted to hold their own against their Austrian  opposition. Somewhat surprisingly they not only did this but with the help of a French elite horse battery managed to repulse their attack with severe losses to the Austrians.
Overall the game just about went the Republicans way as the Austrians could not manage to concentrate their superior fire power to drive the French off.
Great company, a great game, fantastic to get the figures on the table and a good day all round.
More pictures will be coming up on the club website here. New members always welcome by the way.
