The Oldenburg Fields

 Young Ensign Pumphosen`s career continues.  He has fulfilled one of the requirements of the Blau Groan's Court and lead his men to fire a Crashing volley.  He has yet to lay and fire canister from a gun or lead a bayonet charge.  

Game Two

The Oldenburg Fields

This game is a Mission.    It requires Red to sweep the table in order to gain an objective.  In this case it is to recover Blue's escaped prisoner.

The Blue have sent Pumphosen and his Company to stop the foray.  Red have an additional hidden objective that will be drawn only when their Commander appears on table.  

DEPLOYMENT POINTS

Both sides roll a D6 to see which of their two

possible entry points they use for their Primary

Deployment Point, with an even chance of either.  

After that they place any other Deployment

Points.

The force which is sweeping the table may deploy

as normal.  Their opponents are slightly delayed,

so will roll 2D6 each time their Force

commander’s card is dealt.    When that

cumulative total reaches 14 they may begin

deploying their force on any subsequent Leader

activations.    

Neither side is the defender in this scenario

The  Oldendorf fields

The action takes place just off the Green Way road in the low field.  North of the Green Way are the hornbeam woods.

Behind a stream in the North West corner of the battlefield is a single farmhouse.

Pumphosen has decided to lead Hauptmann Shagg's Freikorps.

A farm near Oldenburg

Pumphosen arrives with the Blue Freikorps

But Hauptmann Schagg and the Korporal are the real leaders

Fartgasse and the Dragoons arrive.

Young Flatulenz and his Grenadiers march on.

The Dragoons face off the Jäeger.

The Dragoons volley is devastating.

But Färtgasse faces the blunderbus of the Korporal, and a Charge that follows.

The Dragoons reel back, and break

But Flatulenz and his Grenadiers charge in with the bayonet.

And its the Korporal who retreats

The Grenadiers take fire from Schagg and Pumphosen's group.

The Hero Shot

The Korporal charges the flank of the Grenadiers as they fight Schaggs group.  Its a bloody melee.

But the Blue are beaten.  Flatulenz is promoted and given a medal.  Pumphosen runs away.  Not a great day for the Blaü.

Next games planned.
