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 6^th Cuirassiers & 4^th 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

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

60^th 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 35^th infantry.

Black Powder 1870 Stats and Modifications

1870 Franco-Prussian Conflict in Black Powder Hi all, If you are reading this, it's because. like us, you are Black Powder fans and want to know how we manage the Franco-Prussian War. Anything below is by no way official, just the house rules we have developed over the last few years of playing. A few thoughts first: Fighting in the period is best described as hard fought assaults by Prussians, supported by superior artillery against superior but very strong defensive French lines. All ranges and movements are in cm scale, just to be awkward! All my forces are modelled on 3” square bases, apart from divisional commanders, skirmishers and artillery which have a frontage of 1½” and Corp commanders who are on a 2” base. Feel free to ignore that. My units are regiments of infantry, brigades of cavalry and skirmish squadrons of cav. Artillery is either battalion as one gun, or a battery of two guns on a base, horse artillery have limbers attached. Army composition...

Mortal Gods

Footsore recently released this rather fun game, based around 28mm skirmish fighting in ancient Greece. Tried it at Campaign, then got a set for my birthday from Manny and Rob at Boards and Swords . This month's batch of Mortal God's figures, some new, some old. Athenians - bought when the rules first came out in 2019, just after doing evveryone elses's stuff, I had lost the mojo to do these, plus my Thespians have been serving me well. But, with the great shed tidy, and continued popularity amoung my friends, it was about time. The Athenian set had lead heroes, and plastic hoplites/peripoli, but I decide that I can use any of my other hopilites to fill in for the citizens, and that actaully, I sould get on with the lead. Athenian Marine hoplites - regular state troops, as opposed to my irregular Thespians Top down With Athenian shields from the boxed set Ready to go Regular, armoured, marine archers "Hit that one!" "No, that one!...
