Dettingen Wargame


The battle of Dettingen; the wargame


It looked a little bit like this

Russ is putting the pictures from Good Fridays game on CD before I post the AAR.  However, I thought I would give a taster of the action.  Russ and Mark played very well and had to put up with historical incidents that were out of their control but made the game very tense.  As it happened historically, George II gained enough prestige points to secure the Hanoverian dynasty, the British infantry deployed their devastating firepower and the French cavalry were spectacular but doomed.  A famous British victory was gained and the French CinC could blame a subordinate for the failure of his ingenius plan.

This happened!
More to follow when I have the pics.
