BIF vs Confederates (Black powder AAR)
We had our weekly game and for the first time used our new forces for Black Powder rules set, having played a few games the chance to see our forces engaged was promising. Alec has his Confederates all Perry plastics, and splendid to see, my British intervention force was again Perrys wonderful miniatures a definite old toy solider feel. I laid out the table for the coming battle we checked the sheets and laid out our forces.
A basic face and fight battle no advantages on terrain we think
Alec's confederates he is still building the forces which will be a considerable force once finished
I painted him a company of Zouaves based on the north Carolina units
he had 3 artillery to help him perry plastics for these i think are the best set they have done so far amazing poses and models
My grenadier guards lead by a sub commander the main brunt of my army, lances backing them up
line infantry and artillery all ready
the small farm would prove a point in the fight
the British advance whole sale all moving forward to engage hoping there fire power will punish the infantry on the hills and surrounds
Advancing to range they give fire to a small effect
the confederates advance to firing postition and return fire
the farm sees both side shooting into each others ranks
the guards move forward and stop due to the blistering fire form the concerted artillery and rifle muskets
the lancers of the British probe the lines falling back to seek an opportunity to strike hard
the farm on the flank both sides engaging in fire attempting to weaken each other
the flank guards are hit hard and with there officer and sub commander leave the field, ( he will not get a mention in dispatches for such a un-gentleman conduct) the confederates strike a good score
the remaining guards move forward to show some metal on the conduct of there regiment
the farm the British push back the confederates but are stalled to fire from the remaining forces
the right flank the lancers charge and are driven back by closing fire the infantry seeking to support there attack are also stalled
the second guards using the cover of the field fire onto the infantry on the hill under great fire form the confederate artillery they stand
the guards charge the confederates a bloody bayonet fight
the battle continues on the flank side the British stalling not able to seek the advantage
the guards push the confederates back and advance as the other infantry at last move forward
the confederate cavalry engage the right flank infantry they see them off the lancers hoping to plug the gap
the corn field guards stand and continue to gve foire both side punished by the fire
the flanking guards advance as the centre and the confederates shoot each other to dust
the lancers see off the confederate cavalry and push the infantry back ( Alec rolled all fails on his combat, no matter how nay dice you roll its the score and makes the game superb)
the guards dive inot the falling back confederates who rout off giving the British a victory after a long hard fought battle
battered the confederates gave a good account of themselves
.
We both again enjoyed the game, the system gives a great feel and is to us a battle. more to come
