6mm Baccus Napoleonic Commission starting with the French, and finishing with 1806 Saxons!

 Soon to fly off to Australia, this is the first of many batches of 6mm Napoleonics from a certain Sheffield based company (oh all right, it's Baccus and they're lovely).

Another batch of Dru's figures, which the keen-eyed amoungst you will recognise as Prussians doubling up as Saxons for 1806-7 to fight the French I have painted preiously. He will base up and I added the appropriate flags where needed. If Covid had not turned my brain to mush as I was trying to match flags to units, and I was so bored in isolation that thankfully, I could happily get on with it.

Infantry units Dygerri, Cerrini, Low, Niesermeuschel, Oebschelwitz, Prinz Anton, and Prinz Fredrich August

Blizkeig Commander IV - Hasty Assault

Mark and Stephen took my British at 1750 points, with effectively the same lists as before, but with two turns of preprogrammed artillery and a turn of smoke to assault my 1100 points of Germans who were in dugouts and gunpits. I chose to defend the four hills near my baseline. I has three HMGs, three mortars, two command teams and six infantry platoons, with two PAK36s teams. PAK36s and mortars on the back hill, two infantry and an HMG on the front. Infantry and Mortars in the left hill as a flank guard British stalled, turn 1 they failed to reach the table, so it took them at least four turns to advance. Artillery had landed on the right-hand hill, and rear hill, but had failed to kill anything, even with two 8 gun batteries of 25lbers . My ambush was sprung out the thicket. British infantry advancing developed an unfortunate habit of getting hit by mortars and HMGs. The British in turn 6 cleared the central hill with armour, but needed to get at least three infantry stand...
