Hi Zels

I know of Peter B; Justin S and myself have formally entered. I'm expecting Darryl and The Evil one and yourself. That would be six. Disappointing I know. Peter and I are happy to do a bigger scenario game if there is no comp.

Lets say a larger board with 2 Core + 3 support per side. Yum!

regards

Hi Rob

I'm discussing this at the moment, I think a demo will go ahead, happy to have you and I'll let you know the details. Saturday would be fine especially if the Tigers get into the Grang Final!

Hi Rob

A demo will go ahead on the Saturday. You are, of course, welcome to join in.

We are currently looking at a 12' x 4' table, 2 core forces plus at 2 - 3 support choices per side.

Thats cool. I don't know how long I'll be there as it is 13hr round trip via train+bus.

I should be there at about 10 and I am unable to bring an army though

Very Sorry.

Hi Rob

Not a problem. We have figures and terrain, markers etc pretty much in hand, just bring yourself and anything else you think you might need, rules, tape, dice etc.

You will be playing alongside me with French using an infantry core plus one support. I intend to have cards made up with all the relevant details, special rules etc.

Have you played before, are you conversant with the rules? [no problem if you are not!]

Happy to answer any questions you might have, look forward to seeing you on Saturday around 10am.

regards

Stephen

I would like to thank you all for the game of Lasalle. Especially Barry for the use of his French.

Peter, I don't think I will live down being beatten by Austrian. I hope to chalegem you to an other games some time soon.

I was quite travel lagged from the 5 hour train & bus trip to MOAB. Thats is why I had trouble concerntating.

Would like to play again. I would arrange to stay over before hand at a relatives place for marching off to play Lasalle.

Thank You Again. Hope to play a Lasalle tournament with you.

Rob

Hi

We only had the one game for the day.

Austrian Avant Guard and Infantry Division versus two French Infantry Divisions. Each Division was fielded in its attacking format with a support choice with each side having an additional Reserve support choice. (so 2 core and 3 supports or 7 brigades per side). Played on a 12' x 4' table. As it was a demonstration game we didn't play with objectives, victiory conditions or limited turns.

We used a couple of house rules:

1 Commanders can only command their own division not any support choices. This encouraged supports to be deployed and used together. Lets face it if a Commander wants the Light Cavalry to do something he sends an aide to their Brigadier!

2 Infantry and Cavalry cannot charge the same facing of an enemy.

3 Infantry versus Cavalry in terrain. Irregular infantry have the response option of falling back if charged by cavalry in non good going. Regular infantry have the response option to form square if charged by cavalry in rough going only (not woods, marsh etc). This moderated the effect of Cavalry in bad going but you will note that the infantry still has to pass the test and felt quite balanced.

I think these house rules worked well, cavalry operated together and in the open and there wasn't a predominance of 'interleaved' Infantry and Cavalry units across the entire battlefield.

The result was a bit each way as the Avant Guard pretty much destroyed a French Division, its supporting light cavalry together with a reserve Saxon Cavalry brigade. On the other hand the Austrian Infantry Division put up some resistance but was ground down by the second French Division.

regards

Stephen

PS The Austrian Avant Guard is particularly hard to deal with!
