| Close up...the strains of "Command" are starting to show! |
A few more happy snaps of action from the 28mm General De Brigade table for D'Erlons attack.
 |
| With La Haye still under attack the French continue the assault on Mont Saint Jean |
 |
| 7th Hussars await the order to advance. Old Foundry figures but still stylish. |
 |
| Jacquinots Light Cavalry Division - Lancers. |
 |
| Chasseurs a Cheval and Horse artillery make up the rest of the formation. |
 |
| I think I would veer away as well with a trumpet blowing in my ear! Front Rank Household cavalry figures - Life Guards at the ready. |
 |
| KGL Light Infantry advance past La Haye Sainte to support their countrymen in the garrison. |
 |
| More French pour into the assault on the allied right flank |
 |
| The overview of the allied left flank. In the centre the Scots Greys charge to glory! |
 |
| The French 102nd Regiments 1st battalion is hit by Bens charge. |
One of the highlights of the day was a charge by the Scots Greys (who else!) from the Union Brigade. The French had been given Best's Hanoverian's a hard time on this table and the Dutch of Bylandt were also on the receiving end.
Ben, playing Ponsonby, managed to hit a battalion in column. He rolled the most wonderful of dice in General De Brigade, a double six.
 |
| The enemy are routed, the dice deem the colours are captured and the work I spent on this vignette to have it finished just the night before all seems quite worth it. Well done son, unlucky Andrew. |
 |
| The colours are secured and taken to the rear. Not the French 45th as in actual history of the battle, but good nevertheless for the British and their allies! |
 |
| Bylandt is pushed off the ridge as the Highlanders prepare to counter attack under Pack. |
 |
| The Union Brigades success forces the French into squares. |
 |
| French artillery superiority during the battle was marked. Brigadier Alex indeed shot well. |
 |
| Forced into an uncontrolled charge the Scots Greys become isolated and a wonderful artillery target! |
 |
| On the allied right flank the Household Cavalry move up to support La Haye Sainte. |
More to follow later in the week.
