1813 Napoleonic Age of Eagles 15mm Battle (October 2013)

Organised by Mark, Paul B and Thoran

This was our first 15mm Napoleonic game using AoE.
Paul B, Mark and myself (Thoran) have been building 15mm armies using Old Glory, Minifigs and AB miniatures.
Mark has painted a large French army together with a few Prussian and Russian brigades and batteries.
Paul has painted a goodly number of Prussians and I have have a few Russian infantry and cavalry brigades and a number of batteries.
A battlefield was set up and we deployed our forces and had at it, with Michael and Mark as the French and Thoran and Paul as Russo-Prussian.

Really bad picture of the Allied Left

In the end the Allies gave it as a French Victory.
One Russian Dragoon brigade did give the French infantry and artillery on the French Left Centre a lot of trouble but it was not enough, the French had the overall upper hand.

this calls for a re-match in the new year.
