Today i played a General de Brigade game with a mate Mark Piper his son Rob, my brother Ken, and my oldest son James. It was a British Portugese V French game of around 16 units per side. We have elected to use a ratio of 1:40 so an average battalion is 16 figures strong. The scenario was a simple on with The British Allied forces needing to hold the river crossing and fortified farm. The French started with great success forcing the Highlaanders our of the farmn surprisingly in the first round of combat helped by a really bad dice role from Mark. French success continued pretty much through the whole game which ended with the colapse of the British right flank. The rules were great and worked really well using the firing charts from Die Kriegskunst the SYW variant of General de Brigade which we also like to use.
