Author: We made a little bit larger and more involved battle report, this time with Dave Dandridge and Shawn Hendrix. This one is using the Flames of War rules for late war between the British and the Germans.
I’m hoping to do a lot more of these, so let me know if you have a preference of what you’d like to see.
Recently a group of fellow 28mm Clash of Empires gamers gathered in Long Beach CA. The tabletop scenario was based on the historical events of the Revolt of the Batavi 70 AD. A complete AAR, with embedded YouTube video commentary links, has been posted on the Wargamerabbit.wordpress.com blog site: Link
Some galley pictures for the HMGS membership showing highlight action:
-
- COE game action as the Batavi approach the Roman lines. Skirmisher to the fore.
-
- Batavi tribesmen look down upon their roman opponents.
-
- Roman disaster as the Batavi crush the roman left flank warbands.
-
- Late game as the Roman right charges home on the defector auxiliary

Recently, WR travelled south for the monthly 25/28mm Napoleonic club games. Since the late 1970′s, our at-large club has organized historical and pickup Napoleonic gaming, either at a club member’s gaming room or the local HMGS-PSW conventions. Interested parties can read the complete game AAR’s found on the Wargamerabbit blog site, with the following links, but here are some pictures with comments. LINK French & Allies vs. Austrians 1813 (Battle of Center Hill) or LINK French vs. Prussians 1815 (Battle of the Two Farms)
Note: Pictures can be clicked upon to enlarge the view.
Battle of Center Hill 1813 (French & Allies vs. Austrians)
Named for the large central hill on the tabletop. The Austrians placed their artillery concentration on the hill…..spending the day shelling the Dutch-Belgian French allies at long range across the stream. In the foreground, the French flanking corps assaulting the farmstead complex and the Austrian open right flank.
General view of action, Austrian (left) French & Allies (right).
