[Maurice] Part four of an occasional series: The Cavalry

I couldn’t stay long at the club last night, so didn’t get chance to get a game in. I watched / umpired the remaining Maurice campaign game for this round for a little while before I had to leave though (and which our alliance won, thereby ending the war with our side victorious). Huzzah!

To celebrate our victory in the Silver War(e), I thought I’d do another quick post on my Maurice / M&R army. This time, it’s the regular cavalry in all their glory. I’ll do one more at some point, featuring my Irregulars (both infantry and cavalry) and commanders / Notables. Anyway, here are our brave men on horsies:

The massed ranks of the Cavalry

At the front there are our two units of dragoons, followed by four units of kurassiers, and at the back are our four units of cheveaulegers. For Maurice, I usually only have 3 cavalry, so I generally use two cheveauleger and a unit of kurassiers. I’ve been treating the cheveauleger as conscripts, the dragoons as trained, and the kurassiers as elites, but at the moment, they’re all trained.

[Bolt Action] Two more batreps: Gebirgsjaeger vs Rangers

I managed to get another couple of games of Bolt Action in at the club last night against Ernie, who was trying out a new US Rangers list. I used my usual 500 point force (Veteran 2nd Leutnant, 4 squads of 6 veterans with AR), and Ernie had a variety of units – a large veteran unit with some SMGs, a BAR and LMG, a large regular unit with SMGs (and BAR and LMG? I think at least one of those options anyway), 2 MMGs, a 2nd Lieutenant and aide, and a medic. We set up the first table using another couple of pieces of our megagame table, and rolled for scenario – Maximum Attrition. The goal in this scenario is simple – destroy the enemy.
