<\/a><\/p>\nHighlights for the allies this time round included:<\/p>\n
1. Failed to roll above 5 (on 3d6) to melee the Young Guard with 3 Hanoverian Battalions.\u00a0 Result:\u00a0 British routed in round 1 of Melee and one of the hanoverians then legged it.\u00a0 As shown above.<\/p>\n
2.\u00a0 The remains of Vandeleurs Light Cavalry took on the French Cuirassier, won, and persued into the next mob, where they died to a man.\u00a0 However the French only managed to “Return to Own Lines” so they managed to see off 3 squadrons of Cuirassier.\u00a0 Also shown above!<\/p>\n
3.\u00a0 Failed to roll above 5 (on 3d6) to melee the Grenadier of the Guard in a 3 on 2 situation with the Dutch Belgian Militia infanty.<\/p>\n
4.\u00a0 The French attempted a 1 on 1 fight with the damaged Highlanders behind Papelotte.\u00a0 They lost and routed!\u00a0 Next time they organised and went in 2 on 1.\u00a0 And naturally won.<\/p>\n
5.\u00a0 The Dutch Belgian Cavalry gained revenge for 3. above, by getting a breakthrough on the winners a couple of moves later.\u00a0 Another 12 dead Middle Guardsmen!<\/p>\n
Suppose the next scenario should be – can the British reclaim the ridge!<\/p>\n
All in all it was an interesting scenario.\u00a0 With roughly 40% of the French at Waterloo (in terms of numbers), but 65% of the quality (in terms of troops points value) it was a bit likely the ridge would fall, so becomes a bit of a how quickly and how damaged in the process.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
In order to “finish off” the last game,\u00a0 Sunday morning saw a return visit “up north” The terrain had be rolled back 2ft to give the allies room to retreat and some reserve space to move around in, Having set up a well organised attack the previous visit as French, I was asked to change […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1118","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-andy-wargaming"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.coastalit.co.uk\/wordpress\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1118","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.coastalit.co.uk\/wordpress\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.coastalit.co.uk\/wordpress\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.coastalit.co.uk\/wordpress\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.coastalit.co.uk\/wordpress\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=1118"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"http:\/\/www.coastalit.co.uk\/wordpress\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1118\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1125,"href":"http:\/\/www.coastalit.co.uk\/wordpress\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1118\/revisions\/1125"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.coastalit.co.uk\/wordpress\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=1118"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.coastalit.co.uk\/wordpress\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=1118"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.coastalit.co.uk\/wordpress\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=1118"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}

<\/a>The reinforcements took the form of the Dutch Belgian Cavalry (OK we used Austrian and Russians for the part).\u00a0 I probably should have had a free reorganisation move to make it a game, but as it was, I had done too well last week and the Young Guard punched through, whilst the Grenadiers and Chasseurs of the Imperial Guard took the rest of the Ridge down to La Haye Sainte.<\/p>\n
