Last week I had the pleasure of attending The Hinton Hut to play a four handed Napoleonic wargame hosted by Ian using his fantastic collection of 20mm Hinton Hunt figures. For a full break down of the battle, including the infamous "typo", Ian has posted an excellent 3 part breakdown of the battle here.
For my part I will post a few pictures to give a flavour of the days events.
 |
| The Guards - who secured my first victory points. |
 |
| Ian's Prussians advancing neatly in support on my left. |
 |
| And those pesky French-types determined to spoil our strategy. |
 |
| The Young Guard marching to the base of the hill before marching back again. A French version of The Hokey-Cokey perhaps? |
 |
| My rather rash decision to buy some time slowing the Austrian advance resulting in a severe bloody nose for the British Light Dragoons. |
 |
| And all the while the Emperor and his Old Guard sat still and watched! |
Just to thank Ian, Tony and Nigel for a fantastic game and the first class company. Plus Mrs Stryker for keeping us all fed and watered the whole day!
