Storm The Farmhouse! La Haye Sainte One-Hour Skirmish Wargames Set-up

Some staged shots of a La Haye Sainte game using One-Hour Skirmish Wargames rules I will be hosted next month at the Veterans Museum in Chehalis, Washington.

I've used this scenario several times before using Black Powder on a larger table which included actions around the farm as well as the farm itself. This time, the game will be concentrated on the actual assault of the farm.
Newly arrived Nassauers assisting the KGL troops.
Major Baring commanding on horseback.
The back of the barn, missing the doors as they were burned for firewood the cold night before by the defenders.
View looking into the courtyard from the main house.
The little pond from which retreating Luneburg troops used their cooking pots to put out the fires.
French Carabiniers assaulting through the orchard.
French Voltigeurs supporting Engineers/Sappers who broke down the main gate to the farm.
A unit of 95th Rifles manning the "Sand Pit" on the far edge of the table.
The dashing Lieutenant Colonel Sharpe stroming out of the Sand Pit to attack the Prince of Orange.

Oh, and here's the 54mm figure of a Kospoth Regiment grenadier which I painted for my buddy who had an ancestor serve in that unit in the 1790's.
So much for now, nothing in the paint queue at the moment. I might work on the St Chamond 3D printed tank I've had sitting around for awhile. Until next time, thanks as always for visiting, and wishing you all the very best.
