We've started a campaign focusing on Napoleon's exploits (and failures) in Russia. To kick off the campaign we had it's first game, The Battle of Klyastitzy, last weekend. Historically General Wittgenstein had been retreating before Oudinot without offering battle. This would change at Klyastitzy where he launched an attack on the French, who were not expecting such aggression from the Russians. After fierce fighting the Russians managed to push the French from Yakobovo heights and over the river Nitschtscha and Klyastitzy. This would in the end stop the French threat to St. Petersburg. Our game ended slightly differently with the French being able to hold Yakobovo albeit, with very heavy losses. The Russian side was battered as well and both sides retired to regroup and count their losses. The game ended in a minor French victory. A slightly more detailed account of the game from my blog: link

Thanks guys! It definately was fun to get back to Napoleonics after a longish break. More games to come soon as we get going with the campaign. |
