A tiny battle

Now that I've finally posted Friday's post, I can get back to writing the everyday relatively short posts about the stuff that I do most days. Today was one of those days, so we decided to do a very small game (3 people, 10 troops each), with Prussians and Russians vs French. This was a battle to the last man, and was started by the Prussians. The game progressed relatively quickly, with me taking the defensive while the other two fought it out. But then something rather odd happened. I realised that, leading the Prussian army, was Mr M's best general, the one who had so far survived every battle that he had played in, and he was pinned by the Russians. They captured him and sent away 2 men to escort him. I saw a weak spot left in the Russian defence, with most of their army away, and quickly surrounded and killed Sir Paintwell, the commander of the Russian army. So a quite succesful game all up for me.
