Well about half the size of that battle! Prussians v Russians Seven Years War, none the less! We had a very bloody encounter today at our club, I have done a report of the game at my blog at this link
Enjoy! |

Nice game write up. Makes me keep thinking having Prussians and Russians and no French forces to refight the 7YW battles with 1813 armies. |

Looks like a great game! I really like your hills. Where did you get them? Sorry if I missed it, but what rules did you use? |
| Herkybird | 08 Mar 2020 1:38 a.m. PST |
Cheers guys, the hills are from S&A scenics, very light and durable! https://scenics.co.uk
The rules are my own, freely downloadable from our club website at this link @ 14Bore: there are plenty of great 7YW battles to recreate! – Have fun with your new project! |

Well Herky, practice makes perfect, and I second Desert Fox, where did you get the hills? |

Er.. Cheers guys, the hills are from S&A scenics, very light and durable! https://scenics.co.uk They really are ideal for fighting on! |

Sorry, hells bells Herky, I'm having a hard enough time remembering what I had for breakfast. (smile) |

Many thanks both for this posting, and for a site which I'll explore at length. One thing I'd have found really useful at the start of the photo-sequence would have been an aerial view of the whole field or, should it prove too extensive, some kind of map/plan/diagram of the whole (it can, I know, be largely deduced from comparisons among the first few pictures). Plenty of images well balanced between distant and close enough to study painting with admiration and not a little envy. Good Luck. |

Thanks Robert. I actually took pictures of the table at game start, but one was badly blurred, and the camera ate one, or it failed to take! |

These things happen! Looking forward to future reports &a pictures. |

My favorite SYW battle. I want to game it one of these days and even visit the battlefield one day. |
