"AAR on the Battle of Paris,1814 at Cold Wars" Topic

Saturday morning we were up early to do the final set-up for our big 12 player "Battle of Paris, 1814" game using "Fate of Battle" rules and 10mm figures on a 20 ft. table. The battle centered around the Montmartre Heights on the outskirts of the city, as Russian and Prussian armies attempted to storm the city and oust Napoleon. Joseph, who had been left in charge of the city while Napoleon was out trying to raise a new army, was supposed to have been fortifying Paris, but had only managed a few hasty defensive works as the enemy approached.
Buck Surdu, Dave Wood and I were the GM's, but due to being short a few players, I ended up commanding a force rather than doing a lot of help with the game-mastering.

As the game wound down there were some tense turns as the French and Allies, like two battered boxers, tried to land some decisive punches on the heights, but both seemed too exhausted to do so. When time was up, the French were declared the winner; as the Allies did not appear to have enough strength left to dislodge the remaining defenders from the hill.
Everyone seemed to have a good time, and it was a great group of players who took part. I certainly enjoyed myself; even though no decisive outcome was had on the French right were I as located.
