GDA, Second battle of Lardeville.

The Red have been called to the river Glutonne, on the border with the Blue.  Lardeville is just inland from here and a Militia garrison is called out just as a Brigade of Regulars arrives.

Unfortunately the Blue have arrived in Divisional strength.  Let's hope they don't find out about the hidden Ford.  

Lardville and its surrounding countryside

And at the bridge Old Hans' Farm


The Red

Four regular Battalions

One Light Infantry Battalion

Brigadier of Militia Alan Paunch

Three Militia battalions


The Blue

Two Light Infantry Battalions

Brigadier of Militia Antoine Gross-Farht

Three Regular battalions

Brigadier of Cavalry Pierre le Pew

Three Regiments of Cuirassier

Two batteries HA guns




Blue are spotted and deploy as Red dice to scout them out.  Only the Red Brigade on the far right is seen.

Red close on the Ford, but suffer "Hesitant" results on that vital right flank.

The Red Guards assault over the bridge into a storm of fire.  That didn't go well!



Red push the elite Jäger battalions across the river ford


And Blue's fore is devastating as Red is unformed by the crossing.

Blue charge home the Cuirassier breaking the Red Jäger.  Its a win for the Grand Duchy!
