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.











Le Haye Sainte looks great! As does the 54mm Hessian grenadier,lovely work!

DeleteI really like the look and scale of the convention game you are planning Dean!
ReplyDeleteThank you very much, Keith. Yes, I think it'll work well with the small scale skirmish rules. I plan to add rules for putting out the fires with the GM (me) using a deck for the fire. Kindest regards, Dean
DeleteAwesome looking table. Good luck with your planned game.
ReplyDeleteThanks a lot for your kind words and visit, Robert! Warmest regards, Dean

ReplyDeleteThanks, Matt! Warmest regards, Dean
DeleteDean,
ReplyDeleteAlways something neat to see here! The set up for the convention game is very cool. Nassauers, Luneberg(ers) KGL, Rifle Corps, various French really add to the charm. Concentrating on the farm is a good way to control the pace of the event. Good luck on the day!
