The Battle of Colbitz

This wargame was the second battle of a mini campaign we played in November 2008.

It was yet another victory for Jan, and part of a run of bad luck which I was having - or at least that is my excuse.

Wargames in Spain


The latest battle report is of a game we played in November 2008.

It was part of a mini campaign set in 1813, as so many of our games have been over the past couple of years. Its a good period to wargame because so many nations were involved, and the fighting ability of each nation was very similar.
The French are marching on Berlin and as they reach the town of Bismark the Prussians are spotted approaching from Stendel.
The Prussians attack the town before the French can occupy it and prepare it for defence.

Battle of Luneburg

The French counter attack in last years 1813 campaign has failed at the battles of Horst and Buckholz, but now it is the turn of the Imperial Garde, and they win the day. But at heavy cost. And due to the earlier defeats the Garde will also have to retreat towards Hannover.

Wargaming in Spain

Todays offering is another battle report from a campaign we fought last year. It was also set in 1813, and was the forerunner of the present campaign. It was a much simplier affair, all the armies fought in northern Germany, so no British or Spanish. It lasted for almost a year, and provided a good source of wargames. This battle was for the small town of Celle. You can read the full report by clicking on "Wargames in Spain" on the right.
