It is some time since I featured other people's PORTABLE WARGAME battle reports on my blog, but David in Suffolk's recent pair of linked battle reports about the Battle of Rahden are worth brining to the attention of a wider group of wargamers.
David's blog is called THE RAGGED SOLDIER and you can find a link to it on the sidebar of this blog. The first of his two battle reports is entitled 'Last Stand - or Great Escape?' and saw an Austrian force being attacked by a Prussian force, with the latter expecting reinforcements to arrive after battle was joined.
The second part is called 'The End of the Affair', and saw the Austrians being given a bit of a drubbing by their opponents.
I won't spoil the enjoyment of my regular blog readers by giving any more information about the battle, but I thoroughly recommend that they read these two battle reports and enjoy them as much as I did.

Hi Bob, and thank you very much, that is high praise indeed! I have thoroughly enjoyed using your Portable Wargame rules for both 'Horse and Musket' and WW2 games!
ReplyDeleteDavid in Suffolk,
DeleteI really have enjoyed your recent battle reports, which show how much fun one can have with two small armies on a hex gridded tabletop. I just provided the rules; you provided the infectious enthusiasm!
All the best,
Bob
I've been enjoying the build-up of the campaign and its narrative. Will be following that one closely!
ReplyDeleteArchduke Piccolo,
DeleteThis campaign has been developing nicely over the past few months, and is well worth following.
All the best,
