In this blistering encounter, the Prussians secured a convincing win against their brave French opponents. In a race to secure control of a village, both sides had two infantry regiments, with accompanying artillery, although the Prussians benefited from larger battalions, a battalion of Jaegers and two regiments of cavalry, rather than one. They also could rely on the power of a number of 4pdr and 6pdr Krupp batteries.

In our battles the Krupp beats the Chassepot every time.

Club rules. A cherry picking of bits of other rules that we like. Activation to move, D12s to hit. 4 hits per base. Standard morale etc.
