Part 2 of a battlefield report regarding my recent visit to Gravelotte St Privat. This time the focus is on the make or break charge of the Prussian Guard on Canrobert's position in St Privat. Pictures from the actual battlefield on the blog: blackpowdergames.blogspot.dk |

Gorgeous figures – well done. I am suspicious of your hobby painting area though. Organized, neat and clear – I think that is just not right. :) |

Lovely figures again, and a great account of your trip…….but……what about the Saxons? Their flank march, taking Roncourt, and then hitting St. Privat from the side made a big contribution, as did their artillery. Providentiae Memor! Mollinary |

Thank you all for the kind words – I hope merely to inspire further reading on this fantastic and in many ways decisive battle, and perhaps even for someone to go there and visit the field and the new great museum in Gravelotte. @Fotherington Thrip: My hobby area is a product of my pedantic upbringing, I'm really just a victim:0) You should see me cook, then all Hell breaks loose. Mollinary: you're quite right in bringing up the Saxon Crops – they certainly played a direct role on that local area of the battlefield, and the final result. I'll give them some special attention in their own write up later on. |
