The Combat of Pretzsch, 29th October 1759: A Scenario for ‘Tricorn’
Here’s another Seven Years War scenario for Tricorn, our Seven Years War variant of Shako rules. This is actually two scenarios in one: You can either play the full scenario, requiring a 6×8-foot table, or a smaller vignette scenario, requiring … Continue reading
‘Nescit Pericula’: My AWI Hessian Army (Part 3: Jäger & Artillery)
Merry Christmas to the surviving readers of this blog! I hope you’re all in the bosom of your family (or at least in someone’s bosom) and got everything you wished for? This year Mrs Fawr is ‘Saying it with Bastions’ … Continue reading
‘Nescit Pericula’: My AWI Hessian Army (Part 2: Musketeers & Fusiliers)
At the time of starting to write this post, we should have been refighting Cornwallis’ flank-attack at the Battle of the Brandywine 1777 at the Carmarthen Old Guard. However, for the last week it’s been unusually cold here in tropical … Continue reading
The Battle of Castiglione 1796: A Scenario for ‘Napoleon’s Battles’
Well it’s holiday time again and once again there’s sickness in the family, so it’s been binned. God does like his little jokes… Anyway, there are two positives to take from this: 1. It’s Mrs Fawr, not me. 2. I … Continue reading
The Battle of Kolin, 18th June 1757: A Scenario for ‘Tricorn’
No plan survives contact with the enemy and we had planned to do our next SYW Big Game at The Carmarthen Old Guard later this month, which was to have been the Battle of Kolin. However, our mate Phil can’t … Continue reading
‘All The Emperor’s Men’ (Part 5): The Mainz ‘Lamberg’ Regiment
Just a short post today. I painted this unit back in the summer and promptly forgot about it until just now! In 1756 the Archbishop-Elector of Mainz was contracted to provide Austria with an auxiliary infantry regiment, consisting of a … Continue reading
“Rogues! Do You Want To Stay In The Toolbox Forever?!” (Part 8: Prussian Cavalry Reinforcements)
When we did our big Leuthen refight back in June, it quickly became apparent that my SYW Prussian army, while pretty big, still needs a few more units to enable the larger battles to be fought. As mentioned in Part … Continue reading
The Battle of Breed’s Hill (or ‘Bunker Hill’), 17th June 1775: The Refight
In my last post, I presented the late Mark Hayes’ scenario for the Battle of Breed’s Hill (commonly known as the Battle of Bunker Hill, thanks to confusion between the names of two adjacent Bostonian hills), but didn’t have time … Continue reading
The Battle of Breed’s Hill (or ‘Bunker Hill’), 17th June 1775: The Scenario
Well after two postponements, we finally got to play our Battle of Breed’s/Bunker Hill* game last Thursday! Andy the serial-sickie still couldn’t make it, but I had three willing players in the form of Chris, Trevor and Mike. Mike and … Continue reading
‘Nescit Pericula’: My AWI Hessian Army (Part 1: Grenadiers)
As recently mentioned, I was getting a bit bored with all those tricorn hats and mitre caps of the Seven Years War, so decided to dig out my old 28mm AWI collection with its TOTALLY different tricorn hats and mitre … Continue reading
