Another cock up. In search of those flickr instructions I was given, which once again, owing to thye number of steps involved, I have forgotten.

Got it this time - it was the / in front of the last img I had omitted. Anyway the paraphernalia is as follows: ruler marked in 18mm inches, smoke marker (both home made), green and red first and second action markers (Warbases round corner bases painted on both sides), explosion to show a morale test needs to be taken Galeforce 9), out of command marker (Warbases out of leadership), prone markers (Red Eagle based on 15x20 bases),  casualties on 15mm circular bases (both Pendraken), officers to mark rallying troops on 15mm bases (Pendraken), artillery ammo markers - 15mm Pendraken bases painted as shell, shot and canister which in the game sit on top of a Warbases numbered marker showing the amount of ammo left; currently showing the starter ammo for the Krupp guns.

Two shots of the upcoming game - A Vital Bridge - showing the overall field of battle and the Chasseurs a Cheval, patiently waiting until they are sacrificed to hold up the onrushing Prussian horde.

Enjoyed the report and the look of the upcoming scenario. As I said recently, I like your figures and your board set-ups, stylish. Good to see the pictures flowing again!

Thanks Guy. I think I have the measure of flickr now. It was remembering which bit of the codes to delete that initially threw me. The flickr site looks promising for the future (currently I have used <1% of 1TB) so let's hope this one stays free. My first Album is The FPW in 10mm, if anybody wants to view it. I am keeping things public under my own name, Andy Fuller.

I didn't realise that I had not completed this posting re the scenario for TDFG. Anyway, the idea was that the  French were trying to get a number of vital supply wagons away and then destroy the bridge before they could be captured by the pursuing Prussians. Here we see the Prussians waiting to start their attack and pursuit:



The second photo shows the wagons ready to go, with the start of the bridge just visible at the bottom. Off the top arte the rest of the French troops waiting to hold up the Prussians.



The game was played twice against two different opponents, who both took the French. The first managed to get everyone who survived and all the wagons across the bridge before successfully blowing it. The second nearly succeeded, but miscalculated his losses, leaving a battalion of chasseurs behind to delay the Prussians whilst the bridge was blown, only to discover that their subsequent capture took him over the threshold of acceptable losses.
