Me and Morten from Dennmark enjoyed a game of Bloody Big Battles. Enjoy a short battle report.

Nice report and a fun game by the sounds of it.
If you're going to lose then this is the way to do it ... playing the side that lost historically! See, you didn't lose you just achieved a historical outcome :)
Great report. Love the feel of it.
Definitely with Will, on that one ! 8)

Nice report, Konstantinos. Your terrain collection works well. Were those Black Powder casualty markers? How were you using them?
I hope you told Morten that he can find a complete Dybbol scenario in "Bloody Big European Battles!".
I saw your comment about the shallow rifle pits the Greeks used. May I respond by plugging my friend Dr Murray's book, "The Rocky Road to the Great War: The evolution of trench warfare to 1914"?

Hi Chris. They are indeed my BP casualty tokens. In BBB they denote Spent (on artillery it signifies reduced/ cavalry never really survives long to be Spent). Cotton is used for disruption in both games.
Thanks for the book plug
