Battle of Wavre Refight

 

Looking for a big game, we decided to re-fight Wavre in 28mmm, but with Grouchy starting earlier then expected. The game had around 80 Infantry units, 16 Cav and a 18 batteries, on a large table with 6 players. A fun affair, with the French pushing the Prussians as they did historically but not enough to take the position. 

I felt the French had just done enough, but not enough to stop the result up the road.

That's a serious looking battle, hordes of figures, looks great. Are all those figures from one collection or is it a club effort?
Cheers from Canada,

Hi,

The French were from one collection and the Prussians were 50% mine and the other from two other players.

Archduke Piccolo, and Chasseur both played too.

Thanks

Paul -
For some reason this has finally showed up on my reading list - I'm sure I would have said something earlier had I seen it. That battle seems so long ago, so it was nice to see those pictures!
Cheers,
Ion
