Hi guys, well one of the reasons I paint a few figures is so that I can run the odd little campaign. This time it's a SYW campaign using the Age of Reason Bohemian Blitzkrieg campaign. I'll be doing a series of reports on the the campaign as it unfolds and I'm starting with this one: link The armies are all done and ready to go, here are a couple of picks to show the troops that will be used: Austrians
Prussians

Good lord that is a lot of very good looking figures… I'm working on getting a similar troop density, but using 6mm figs! |

Surely they didn't call it Blitzkrieg back then! |

Surely they didn't call it Blitzkrieg back then! Probably not, but they didn't call it the Seven Years War either. |

I did up a hypothetical campaign assuming the 1758 Russian winter campaign was not unopposed, using the AoR campaign system (my main gaming buddy has Russians and I have Prussians), and a map based on Clash of Monarchs. I don't recall if in the RAW AoR campaigns, forces can move more than one space per turn. In this game, non-light forces had a normal movement allowance of 3, and light forces 4. It took 1 movement point to move between some zones, 2 between others, with crossing a river +1. Perhaps it was because the forces started so far apart, and perhaps the Initiative ratings I gave the Russian generals were too poor – IIRC the best was a "3". However, if I had it to do over again, I would make one modification to the AoR Movement/Initiative rules: only on a natural '1' would it mean a force couldn't move at all; otherwise, I would at least say they could move one space. The campaign folded because the Russians just couldn't move often enough – admittedly partly due to less than average dice rolling by the Russian player. |
