On 3-25-17 had the first Napoleonic game at the new house.  Mike Murphy and Dan Merchant squared off in a Russian vs French matchup.  Mike was determined the winner when we ran out of time.  below are some of the photos from the game (kind of in sequence)

Setting up the forces

Deployed Russians

The French attack, allies turning the flank

Russians facing a mass of French columns

Light vs Heavy cavalry

Did everyone forget about skirmishing?

They come on in the same old way

Time called, French had just broken through the center, some Russians grenadiers are moving to plug the gap, the Austrians never arrived.  Typical.  Good game enjoyed by all.
