Sharp Practice Solo Game

I painted up several groups of British figures from Victrix to add to my Sharp Practice collection. I started a game with them and this is a brief recap of that encounter.

This is three groups of the new figures just entering the table.

Both sides are trying to capture this village. These are three groups of the French.

Two more groups of the new Victrix figures.

Three groups of KGL

An overview of the game

I am trying to stage a rather large game, with 10 big man chips per side. Both sides had a rather large distance to go to get at each other, but moving on roads helped speed things up. The French got the initial edge as their skirmishers got off a solid volley on the three groups of KGL. A group of dragoons caught Sergeant Harper's section of riflemen in the rear, but miraculously, the men in green were able to survive despite losing two men. They managed to take out two of the horsemen and retire.

I look forward to finishing the game later in the week. Four more groups of French have yet to enter the battle, so things could change quickly!
