Battle of Lutzen 1632

Hello There! I have found another cache of photographs which have gone by the wayside as my agency work takes off.

The game in question was fought on 22nd May this year and further details can be seen on Adrians blog here.

Here is an excerpt from his blog:

I organised a re-fight of Lützen 1632 using my Sun King 1670s figures, with the French as the Swedes and the Allies as the Imperialists. As there was fog on the day of the battle, the French could not see all the Allied troops at the start of the battle. In addition, they did not know until they reached it that the Allies had deepened and widened the ditches along the road, which made it difficult for cavalry to cross. Finally, the Allies were expecting reinforcements on their left wing, but the French did not know of this either. Anyway, the game played out successfully, with my Allied force holding off Steve's French army after a close fought battle. Here are some photographs. Figures are mostly North Star 1672, rules my own.

The game was very exciting and as per usual with the wargaming with Adrian, it was very too and fro with no one side having it all their own way until the end when Adrian had the upper hand.












As we were so involved in the game I did not take that many photos. However on the link to Adrians blog there is a list of units and a better description of the battle.
