Tin Soldier Guy

 Hello, I have played two battles so far between my Dutch and Bavarian Armies. Both I played solitaire for now as I want to learn the rules, record questions that might come up, and share how it went. I'm enjoying it but I think I'll love it when I get to have a player to play with. This is actually my 2nd solitaire battle that this report is based on. I called it The Battle of Many Mistakes because as you will see. I made a lot of serious errors. However, war is like that. I'm sure Napoleon would not have interrupted me if he were my opponent. A note for you. You will see underlined 1's and 6's in the shooting sections. These represent unmodified rolls of 1's and 6's that are always a miss or always a hit. The Battle of Many Mistakes Victory Points and Objectives The bridge: 1 VP The house 1 VP each hill 1 VP each unit that breaks 1 VP for opponent Terrain The dirt road also consists of a bridge crossing ther river.  There are 3 hills. I may have to switch ...

One of the command figures I bought was Marlborough writing the Blenheim dispatches which comes from a painting by Robert Alexander Hillingsford.  Here is my model from Warlord Games: Here are my Dutch brigadier generals. Here is the Dutch Artillery. These models are 8 lb. guns. The figures are all from Warlord Games. The uniform information comes from a book by C. A. Sapherson The Dutch Army of William III . 

  This unit completes my Dutch cavalry regiment that I was making for Elixheim. I now have 3 Dutch cavalry regiments to match the Bavarians.  This is the Oranje-Friesland Regiment. It was also known as the Friesland Garde. Raised in 1668 and maintained by the Dutch province of Friesland. Colonels: 20 December1673 Prinz Hendrik Casimir van Nassau-Friesland 28 March 1696 Prinz Johan Willem Friso van Oranje-Nassau
