Hello There! Another rummage through the photography files has turned up another game around A fellow wargaming friends, Adrian. He arranged a game with four players, including Adrian as player and Umpire.
The board was set up as above with the French on the left and the Dutch on the right.
The Dutch centre, above, gave fire as the French came on. The Dutch regiments were two battalion of the Nassau-Friesland and a battalion each of the Brandenburg and Schwartsenberg Regiments. They took a lot to dislodge them from this position!
The windmill, which was more for scenic effect, despite its size!, was also defended by the Aylva Regiment. Again behind hedges.
As you can see there was plenty of exchange of fire before melees took over the game and the Dutch were pushed back in the centre and French right wings.
My photographs have concentrated on the centre and French right wing. Here the infantry fighting took place. Over on the left wing a massive cavalry battle was taking place. Adrian, who organised the game, has added it to his blog here. On his blog you can see this cavalry fight as well as further units identified from his army.
As usual, this game was very 'see-saw' and was very enjoyable, with great company.
