BBB Borny -Colombey in 10mm

[Leman]

Moved on to Borny-colombey with my regular opponent in 10mm. Once again, I provided the battlefield and he provided the figures and two enclosures to represent the forts. My initial set up before figures and forts.



Troops at the start

[Leman]

Got it! Many thanks, will complete tomorrow.

[fred.]

Got one working, you do need a space between img and width though (that's why the first one isn't working)

[Leman]

Got that now, thanks Fred. The first one is the same picture, but then I sussed I should leave a space, so proper batrep  tomorrow evening.

Report proper:

The above shows the field of battle before troops and forts were added. Next is the first troops on the field:



The representation of the Guard Corps:



The end of the fight around Colombey:



More and more Prussian troops arrive as the French begin pulling back towards Metz:





Prussians now began arriving from the south. An unlucky French march column was taken in flank by Prussian cavalry. It saw them off, but took casualties and became disordered:



French lancers in their turn drove back the hordes temporarily, but then found themselves in the valley of death:



As even more troops marched on the French guard put up a fighting withdrawal, but Colombey hill had been lost. The French managed to get nine units off the board, but victory went to the Prussians.

[Steve J]

Very nice indeed

Like it, thanks, Andy! Commiserations to the French. I do like Borny-Colombey as a scenario, it's one that really can go either way and produces nailbiting tight finishes. I hope you and your oppo enjoyed it.
