A Game Day

I’m getting behind on posts—I have a Gencon AAR pending, and today Chris Palmer visited for a day of games.  I shall hope to post a full report eventually, but we played two games of Howard Whitehouse’s A Gentleman’s War with our 40mm Not Quite Seven Years War figures.

As we see it, Chris’s North Polenburg had attempted to take the initiative at the beginning of a campaign season, perhaps as a response to a recent attack by the Wachovians.  We randomized armies in accordance with the rules, and played out two scenarios which were separate attacks by North Polenburg.  Both attacks were eventually fended off by the forces of Schoeffen-Buschhagen, my imagi-nation.
