| The Red Duke leads his squadrons against the Blues |

| Both sides begin to volley |
 |
| The Red Duke pushes the Blue Cavalry back |
 |
| Honours are pretty even in the line vs line firefight but it is the Reds who suffer most. With the Blue cavalry fled and the Red Infantry withdrawing the battle is pretty much drawn. In Campaign terms I will give it to the Swedes. |
Someone was mentioning Maurice at the club t'other night, we must have some more games. How do you solo it vis-a-vis the cards? Do you give certain classes of cards priority? Love what you've done with the campaign map btw.
ReplyDeleteAs an Igo-Ugo game I find Maurice quite easy to solo. The game is usually one of lines and flanks of lines rather than the spread about of Napoleonics. I also "played one side," red here, and used a blind draw for Blue in the game, so the cards that Blue held in one turn they may not hold next turn. (I rolled a d6 and swapped the resulting number of cards back into the deck) Even so Blue won a phyrric victory in the Infantry line only to find that the red cavalry were supreme.
ReplyDeleteBlue used a first fire card, stealing red's volley and effectively this game them the advantage. As long as the cards indicate a specific action is preferred I go with that.
I still have a lot of Jacobites to paint for my "Exiled Prince's" army.
