An aerial view of the battlefield |
Recently we have started a wargame of an imaginary Egyptian Napoleonic war scenario. This battle consists of 20 Dutch infantry, 20 Prussian infantry, 20 French infantry and 10-12 British AI (Artificially Intelligent) troops.
The objective was to capture the large British-held African mansion and hold it against the other armies for as long as possible. The British, unless expelled from their position would receive a steady stream of reinforcements that would eventually overwhelm us.
The game was played at school on four desks that we had pushed together, as seen in this image.
The Dutch are in the bottom left, the French in the bottom right, Prussians in the top left and British troops in the top right and center. The mansion is clearly visible in the middle.
The battle started when the Prussians(me)advanced on the British and sent four troops to guard my right flank. The Dutch prioritised capturing a building and sending a large portion of their army to attack the French.
However the British troops opened fire on the Dutch infantry and succeeded in killing three out of five Dutch soldiers, losing only two of their own.
In the meantime the French had formed a slow moving defensive formation and sent their two Voltiguers to scout ahead and take pot shots at British defenders. The poor Brits were outnumbered 3:1 but they inflicted more casualties then they suffered on the advancing Dutch and Prussian armies.
The British defend the mansion to the death. |
