A group of us did a Germantown refight from the second British Grenadier scenario book. Now assuming I have got this pesky link thing sorted…

Hi vespasian very very ncie recreation of the battle. The terrain and figures look great. Your use of the 'fog' takes it into another level altogether! Cheers

Nice photos of your battle. 42 moves in 12 hours of play is quite good. Did you use map movement during the early morning fog? Cheers,
Robert

Thanks for the kind words everone. We didn't use map moves just to keep things simple. The Americans were briefed without seeing the terrain(just maps) and had to give orders before knowing how bad the fog was. For the Americans and British most early orders were defined by terrain features such as the roads, hills, fences etc. The British had a bit more leeway as they were encamped on the ground.
As umpire I did keep an eye on the orders and everyone was very good in keeping their orders relevant to what the commander on the ground could see. I also told the Americans that what British units they could see were not necessarily where they actually were and placed a couple of dummy brigades that were removed fairly early on to re-inforce the point. |
