It sounds like your Russian and Prussian players were undaunted by all that guard, but the weight of numbers of high quality troops came through in the end (with a bit of help from the partisan umpire, hey?!).<br />What happened in part two, or do I have to be patient and wait for the report?!

They were not amused by that "The Immortals" crap the rest of the Guard tagged them with, and were out to prove themselves, it seems!<br /><br />The game was actually quite easy to run, with all of the players except Sammy having played in at least several of my FoB games in the past. Sammy's Dad helped him, and he fought his Russian Infantry command with skill and grace!Gonsalvohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16531623280789478092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9170582445870210697.post-88299143506094760282014-07-23T23:29:32.286-04:002014-07-23T23:29:32.286-04:00Gendarmes d'elite victorious in their first cl...Gendarmes d'elite victorious in their first clash.
