18th Century Skirmish game

The inaugural game for my new wargames room/conservatory.  Some 18th Century Gentlemanly Skirmishing.

The church at Krückeberg

Turn one, Blue aggressively race for the isolated objective, a dismounted officer

And the 3pdr cannon is less than impressive 

Leutnant Pumphosen keeps himself safe

Blue grab the Officer and drag him away.  Red come on, having the best of the fight.

Pumphosen and the captured Marquis.  "We meet again my Lord.  Any chance of some Apricot pie?"

Helped by the fat Leutnant the Korporal and his men drag the Red Officer closer to the board edge and that dastardly serving of pie.

Hauptmann Schagg fights the rearguard.

And the Marquis is taken

In a traditional battle those superb Red Musketeers were a real threat, but Victory goes to Blue in the narrative.

The Blue commander wearing a subdued orange coat, and without his periwig.

My thanks to Colonel Incontinenz and the Marquis Flatulenz.
