The Napoleonic Battle of two hills…
Well, decided to play the first battle scenario from one-hour wargames, Pitched battle (1)… Although it took nearly a week to play.
Interruptions, such as with me not liking the cork board tiles colour, and so repainting. The rules and dropping the boxes of troops and several invasions mid game by my family and grandchildren wanting my lunch table!
Used the One-hour rules to set-up the test battle… numbers and their type as this supported my solo playing.
The French forces consisted of 4 Line Infantry, 1 Heavy Infantry and a battery of artillery.
The British received 4 Line Infantry, 1 Light cavalry, and a battery of guns.
Both sides receive generals.
The objective of the scenario, to eliminate the greatest number of enemy units.
At this point, I used the rules from 2x2 Napoleonic’s by Rod Humble.
A die is thrown to see the units allowed on the table.
The French cast’s a 4, Four units enter the arena.
Artillery, Heavy Infantry, line infantry, and a General.
Generals a fixed pick, the rest random die.
Nelson's Brits throw a 3, Artillery, line infantry and a General.
At this point, the units are place in order of entry to the battle.
I leave the light cavalry in the rear.
