Seven Year War. Game at NBHW

Back on the first of March I took part in a Seven Years War game at New Buckenham. We were using a simplified version of the Honours of War rules by Osprey, the second outing for these rules and a further test to check their suitability for our Minden refight later this year.

The scenario featured a Prussian force trying to force a Reich Army rearguard off a ridge line to continue their pursuit.

I had command of the right wing of the Prussian forces with a small village on my left and a narrow stream to my front right. Being Prussians we advanced in nice dressed lines to close with the enemy, who chose to advance as well rather than wait on the ridge.

By the end of the game I had driven off the left flank of the Reich Army rearguard but their right flank was having better luck against our left wing, enabling them to begin to conduct an orderly withdrawal.

Situation at end of game.

A great little game put on at short notice.
