Following on from the last BLB game a few weeks ago, Marty, Steve, Cookie and I decided to continue the theme and see what could happen with the Bavarians French Masters adding some grunt to their attack on the forces of the allies.
The scenario was to see a force of British, Danes and Dutch try and defend the Chateau on the outskirts of some important supply depots for the both armies.
The game was great fun with more familiarity with the rules being developed and the interest from other members of the club also being pricked which is always a good thing.
The figures were from the collections of Martin (Bavarians), Steve (French) and the Brits, Dutch and Danes were mine.

| French cavalry mass in the centre from Steve's collection. |

| Dutch cavalry in reserve on their own right flank. |
 |
| From the rear of the Franco-Bavarian lines the advance continues on however no dents have been made in the defenders line and time was of the essence in this scenario. |
 |
| French advance on the left flank. Despite overwhelming odds in their favour the failure to manoeuvre in columns stole serious time from their advance. |

| View from the Chateau as the Dutch guns look for some targets |
 |
| British troops prepare for the French cavalry assault to come. Luckily the French came in piecemeal and allowed the foot to survive through some luck and grit! |
 |
| ...but only after they also had to endure Bavarian cuirassiers attacking as well! |
