One Hour Wargames: Napoleonic Large Battle

I had been tempted to try out a larger than usual game using the OHW rules so I decided to setup an encounter battle using two 6 unit random army selections per side. 

 

With twelve units I decided to play the game with a slightly wider game cloth.

The period I chose was Napoleonic where I had more painted models to use for a larger game. With Russians on the far side lined up against my French force it looked an impressive matchup. Here are some of the units that made up the forces.

Unfortunately I had to pack my game away as the wife wanted to use the computer. Will have to wait till another day to play a big battle but at least I saw what it could look like and I was pleased with the result.

Meanwhile the cat was outside helping me with another project. I've been given Arkham Horror to playtest by one of my gaming group mates so I've been reading the rules in the summer sunshine.

Command & Colours Napoleonics: Czarnowo 23 December 1806

This is the first scenario in the Russian Army expansion. Not a large battle but a challenge for the French player which I was in this game.

 

It took a while to setup but as usual the end result was worth it. C&C Napoleonics always looks impressive.

 The cat proved helpful with the setup!

After the game I tried some experiments with the blocks set up as a OHW army using my 6mm terrain and cloth mat. I think it looks good and I might use the blocks in future games.
