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.

Frostgrave Warband; an orc!

An orc, been sitting in the pile of shame for a while. He's on a 30x30mm base Probably end up with my gobbos Four more skeletons, a gift from my lovely neighbour Brian. Two Prinz August self molded skeletons and two games workshop skeletons. Back view Quite a mix of weaponry Charge Antediluvian Miniatures recently produced these, and I just had to have them! Left - Right Heinrich Kemmler, Lord Krell, Ranlac the Black and Mikeal Jacsen! The four main characters based on the illustrations within 'The Terror of The Lichemaster warhammer 2nd edition mini-campaign. PDF here They are the main antagonsits of the campaign, and genuinely nasty pieces of work! I moved the arm pose on Krell to give him some depth For c£20 they are lot bigger, and a damn sight more affordable, that the price the originals go for on ebay! Three (maybe two, one is a mou...

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! Thought it was only a few months back painted Sharke, but I checked back, 10th December 2022!

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...
