1644 Deluge game


Today a friend of mine Mark Temple came over and we decided to have a small but enjoyable 1644 game. Mark has a fine collection of English Civil War figures. To this we added some of my sons Brandenburg's to form some allies which were pitted against my Imperialist Austrian forces. The table is 6' x 14' and is down stairs in what i call the war games room which is equipped with some appropriate pictures on the wall.


It was a hard fought game with Austrian and Danish forces pressing home attacks in the centre allowing some Cavalry to sweep around on the left flank.

This picture is part of the Brandenburg allied centre and right we used the foundry set of 1644 rules which while enjoyable was disappointing. At the end of the day Mark and i have decided to try our hand at putting our own set of rules together and will certainly post any future information on this.
