1864 - Battle of Bierborstal ORBATS and orders

 Just a dump of information I sent/recieved from the players in this scenario

General brief - Prussian players.

 

 Subject: Re: Prussian orders

I, personally, will be at E with the 11th regt and 3rd Hussars I will order them both forward to attack the 1st redoubt on the hill, then on to the second redoubt
24th Regt will be ordered to move rapidly on the first redoubt to support 11th regt's left flank then support the attack on second redoubt.
64th Regt will be ordered to echelon left to protect 11th regt's right flank from the enemy infantry to 64th regt's front.

Once the redoubts are taken all three regts will attack the large force of enemy shown on the map. ie turn East (24th should clear Bierborstel on the way). Push the enemy off the map

I will send a mounted officer to K to order the 6th Cuirassiers & 4th Hussars to entertain the enemy to their front, preventing them from moving west.

Brigadier Friedrich von Tegetthoff 

 

Artillery (at B) to commence bombardment of enemy redoubts. Once assault on redoubts complete to reposition and give fire supporting attack on Bierborstel

35th Infantry (at D) assault redoubts after 1 hours bombardment then move and take Bierborstel

60th Infantry (at H) to attack into woods to front then to swing round to the North, outflanking Bierborstel and driving off any enemy.

Brigade HQ to accompany 35th infantry.

The random miniatures in my lead pile thread

Hi all, As the months go on, I am finding more random stuff that does not fit into any catagory is creeping it's way up to the surface of my lead mountain.  I decided a few years back, rather than just throw it back like one of Nobby's escaped socks, I would actually paint some of them   Mutant Zombie by CP Models Or just a mutant? Nota nice looking chap That's not going to clear up anytime soon! Nasty rash there Puss, but no boots   Thought Sharke needed some support, so when I ordered terrain from Alternative Armies, I added a certain Sergeant. He's a BIG unit!

Soldiers of Napoleon - Imperial Guard vs Austrians.

 Mark and I met up for a game at Leighton Buzzard Wargames Club. My Imperial Guard vs his Austrians, but he had taken an earlier list (1806), whereas mine was back to 1811. This time saw the first fielding of my new Young Guard. My plan was to adance the guard through the two villages, one brigade had deployed forwards in the centre to accomplish this; then swing in from the left with the Gauard Heay Cavalry brigade. Unfortunately, Mark had other ideas! He had deployed with his cavalry brigade screening forwards. Then it all really went his way. Soldiers of Napoleon has three things you can do on each card, an amount of units that can move, a rally state and special events. Sometimes, the cards fall absolutely how you want them to, sometimes, they don't. Turn one and Mark had been dealt two sets of 'At the quick' special event cards, allowing a march and then a manouver (or vice versa) for three units. Exactly the amount of cavalry units in his brigade! Combined with a ...
