Volley and bayonet WSS action

[slimreidy1]

I've finally got around to posting last weeks WSS game onto my blog which you can check out on the following link. It was another cracking game in a period I've really enjoyed Playing recently and that is not because I seem to win when we do ....honest 😉

What the heck, the early C18th War of the Welsh Succession, featuring a French invasion of Cardigan Bay

As always an excellent looking game. Shame that the British cavalry didn't put up more of a fight.

Tricornes rule!

Don't tell me - once you get the bloody Aztecs you will insist on Aztecs in Tricornes....

P.s. - the dictionary wont accept "Tricone" - and gives tricorder as a suggestion

Beam me up, General Wolfe!

As usual, a very attractive looking game. Years ago, when I had sold all of my wargaming armies and deciding what period to make my comeback in, so to speak, it was a Volley & Bayonet refight of Fontenoy that got me back into wargaming - who can resist a tricorne? One episode reported in the AAR of that game also sticks in my mind. There was some unit (Irish Brigade?) that had great difficulty advancing because the line of advance had to go through a marsh and was suffering accordingly. The player in command exclaimed, "I'm being sucked to death!" to which one of his opponents replied, "There are worse ways to go!"

Very cool looking game.

I am planning on a WSS project, not quite sure which battle to collect the armies for but I am looking for one which has multiple nations fighting together one each side.  This will creat a great variety in uniforms.

Any suggestions of battles and the location of good order of battles?

The unit basing looks great also, well done.  What size bases are they?

The Allies were rather nationally diverse, so going with a combo of Dutch, British and "mercenary state" units works fine - Danes, Prussians, minor Germans, and then Imperialist with their own combination of minor Germans, Savoyards and possibly even some actual Spanish if you want to fight the battles in the theatre the war was ostensibly about

The French are generally French (who needs allies when you're so brilliant, eh?), but Bavarians are traditional, then there's the wild geese and foreign regiments and possibly even some Spaniards

Everyone got some units pretty much everywhere, I think...
