I thought it would interesting to do the Plancenoit scenario but with 1870 era armies. So I put together a scenario loosely based on the "General de Brigade" scenario. So I put on a playtest of the scenario for my local club. I didn't tell anyone what the actual scenario was, just to see if they could figure it out. In designing this scenario I had to take into account different unit types and 50+ years of weapon technology into consideration. The playtest reveled That I need to work on the OBs and to allow more time to play. We will be doing this again sometime this year. Here is the flicker link. link |

There are two pages of photos. So be sure to click 2 at the bottom. Rules are "The Died For Glory" figs are 15mm. Mostly OG but a few other brands. The units are infantry battalions. Three battalions makes a regiment. |

I didn't mean to post this on the 18th Century Scenarios board. I cannot just delete from that board without deleting it everywhere else. Something the editor needs to add to the next version of TMP. |

Looks like things were just getting started. The first Prussian division took a lot of casualties just getting to the village. Good looking game, too bad there was not enough time to play it out. |

The Prussians had at start a Line brigade and a Landwehr brigade. The Landwehr brigade fell back the first time they took a casualty. They rallied and was used mainly for fire support. However on the other flank the Landwehr did a good job and took the stables from a Chasseur battalion. Then they with stood a furious counter attack by a French Line Battalion. I was very disappointed we could not play it to a conclusion. The problem was that we just didn't have enough players. But it was a playtest and I learned a few things from it. We will do it again hopefully with a few more players. It was a lot of fun. |

I like taking battles and transpose them to a different era. Looks like a nice game. |

I love the idea, having myself played Gettysburg 1777, Monmouth 1864, and a few others. One great thing is you can do it a couple of times, just by changing which side is who. Use to give a Victory point to the first player to figure on what battle it was. |

Love the look of your OldGlory15s! I've got a few hundred French and Prussians painted up as well. The mix of poses always adds a lot to the appearance of these figures on the table. |
