Title: 1809 French vs. Austrians
Post by: Shecky on 16 March 2021, 02:51:20 AM

For the past year I've been furiously painting various Napoleonic forces to use with Et Sans Resultat (ESR) which is a "perspective based wargame" where the player is an army or corps commander. Last Saturday I played my first game of the year and the first since last August.

I posted an AAR on my blog but long story short, the French III Corps soundly defeated the Austrian II Korps.

It's a rather long narrative but here are some pictures in case you are interested.
