Garden Wars : Hausen ~ Teugn
My eldest son, Peter Duchy of the North, and I did a recreation of the 1809 Campaign Battle of Hausen - Teugn.
I mowed the lawn back that morning so that the woods that were the key feature would be prominent in view for the players.
Then laid out the two towns, river and roads.
My son did the Austrian deployment and Peter handled the French.
For a long time it was a waiting game for the French as the Austrians slogged through the woods. Sadly my son chose to halt the two immense Austrian infantry columns for about 5 turns. This choice sealed their fate.
When contact was finally initialized between Austrian Grenzers and French Voltigeurs the Grenzers were coming out ahead, however there were no massed formations anywhere near to be able to exploit the openings.
Then the gun duels began and again the Austrians were doing well, again there were no troops close enough to the FEBA (Forward Edge of the Battle Area) to make any effect or to take any advantage.
In the end one great flanking action by the only cavalry force, Austrian, took a shot. After disordering a square with artillery, then breaking it with a charge, then crashing through another square into a disordered line ~ the charge had faltered at last, horses blown, troopers tired after having shattered two squares they were just not able to overcome the third formation in hasty square.
Thus the battle ended, with a scare for the French from a good action on the flank with horse and having columns of Grenadiers charge at them. The Grenadiers were alone, unsupported and torn apart by the artillery.
Davout was not trapped and this time the Austrians were forced to fall back with cavalry and artillery losses ... even worse than was in the historical battle. Ultimately the French Voltigeurs were also decimated by the battle action.
As with the last big Garden War battle, there was a casualty ... this time a horse gun team.

Iskanderkul
An image by an artist Slava :
"In 1985, I went to Pamir mountains with a group of mountain-climbers. When we reached 1,200 yards above the sea-level, we saw this beautiful lake. It's called Iskanderkul. In Asian - "Iskander" means Alexander, and "kul" stands for lake. Iskanderkul got its name because the army of Alexander the Great reached this point centuries ago. The water in this lake is so pure that the bottom could be seen clearly at the depth of 4-5 yards. Around this lake, there are walnut groves, and the quiet. After the noise of the cities, the quiet was scary until we got used to it. And the moment came when I was hypnotized by nature, when I was looking and couldn't get enough. Remembering that feeling, I painted this piece."
I post this image to highlight this couple's works and I was inspired by the imagery of his words ... reminding me of the many ancients battles that I have done from the Alexandrian period. Time to get out those elephants again I think.

BATTLE OF NEU ISENBERG : AAR
The defenders of Neu Isenberg, Frankzonians under the command of Francios l'Marquise de Hottatrot had some advance notice of the coming forces from the Kingdom of Saint Maurice. They made use of the time to erect some improvised defenses along the Frankfurter Strasse before the town of Neu Isenberg. Constructing these defenses on one side of the high road were the militia of Neu Isenberg, never before tested in any battle regimen.
These defences were still under some construction when the troops of St. Maurice came out into the open from the light woods in the area.
Arranged in front of the St. Maurice lines were two battalions of militia forces.
Hidden in a thicker part of the eastern woods were the elite Jay's Jagers, waiting totally concealed.
The battle opened with a cannonade from the St. Maurice battery, which tore a great swath through the exposed ranks of the Hottatrot regiment 1st battalion.
Meanwhile in the woods the Jagers now had the flank company of one of St Maurice's militia regiments totally exposed and in some disorder directly in front of their concealed position. Rising almost as one these marksmen then cut their own deadly swath through the officer and senior NCO's leading these new soldiers. The general response was panic and they turned to flee...only to find the fixed bayonets of the regular line troops directly behind them. They turned to flee away from the continued Jager enfilade fire towards the other battalion of militia.
The response from the other militia force was also to start to panic and flee...only to be cut down almost instantly from the rear by the leveled muskets in volley fire at point blank into their backs! (it was a critical success for the fire shot!)
These totally frightened men then threw down their arms and fled in all directions! (including towards the Frankzonian lines!)
So ended turn 1.
The St. Maurice force was not slowed at all by the chaos in the woods, the main line was advancing on the improvised defenses that still appeared to have men working on them. Upon firing at the troops the Frankfurter Buns took off in all directions away from the battle area, their 'leaders' vainly showing attempts at rally, while running at full speed along the high road after passing into the town. A company of regulars that were completing the works on the other side of the road also ran off in the confusion started by the Buns militia loosing their composure so quickly (it was a critical failure of morale on the militia and a normal fail on the line troops).
Meanwhile in the woods the St. Maurice militia that was running in mobs came close to the edge of the woods and surrendered en-masse to the Frankzonian IR Black Kilts. A detachment of a dozen men was made to form a 'guard' for these surrendering troops and they were mustered to the eastern outskirts of Neu Isenberg.
so ended turn 2
With the advancing line at the high road and the defenses only half-manned there was little opposition to the St. Maurice line troops scrambling over the wooden barricades.
Confusion in the woods had died down and now the St. Maurice lines started to move forward to press on the Jagers.
so ended turn 3
The next action started from the artillery which had been firing all along but only had good effect on the first volley, now this cannonade again struck home, with the Hottatrot 1st again taking more casulaties, this time enough to halt their tentative advance in the woods, as they readied themselves to face St. Maurice foot coming at them through the woods.
The first cavalry clash comes now on the west edge of the defenses. The Gendarmes of St. Maurice clashed with the Frangipani Hussars, who were driven off by the heavier and more skilled Gendarmes.
so ended turn 4
A small rain shower came across the battlefield at this point (I have a 'wonky' light ballast in my gamespace and it went out at this point...also the radio station started playing "Raindrops"), the St. Maurice commander, having decided that the battle was all going in his favor, ordered his two ADC's to return to camp and prepare his tent for the rain. Then when the rain got worse, left his command post, with an orderly remaining behind to simply report back the final effect of the battle. (this was decided after a critical failure in the initiative rolls for the turn).
Overall the battle did not move much at this stage, the Gendarmes drove off Arthur's Hussars and got into good supporting position for the western defenses. The other troops traded musket fire, with one force of the St. Maurice line troops expending their powder (presumably the rain caused more powder problems leaving that battalion without fire capability until they moved to the rear of the battle area ~ for resupply) [they rolled a critical failure on firing, then a normal failure for 'no powder' effect].
so ended turn 5
The tipping point was upon the battle, for the wiley St. Maurice commander had managed to convince a small force of independent dragoons to simply 'make a show' in the woods to the east of Neu Isenberg. It was at this point that their crashing mounts, whistles and shouts could be heard by the Jagers. Frankzonian commander l'Marquise de Hottatrot was also informed and decided that it was time for his "Devil my care" reputation to not be outdone! He ordered an immediate cavalry attack followed by having his personal entourage of Highlander garbed sycophants sweep into the melee.
The first cavalry attacks are badly co-ordinated and the St. Maurice commander on the spot drove his lancers into the flank of the returning Frangipani Hussars, shattering them utterly and sending all of them into a running battle to the west of the town, the Lancers took off in pursuit of prizes.
The Sultan of Swat with the Delft Blues then struck at the ready Gendarmes, the encounter did not go off well. The Blues were obliged to let the St. Maurice line troops fire onto their flank as they advanced, taking down many, then they trotted into contact with the Gendarmes in some disorder. The Sultan was not killed, but dismounted during the engagement and managed to catch on with one of his retreating troopers following the hot engagement.
thus ended turn 6
Now the Highlanders were going in without any support.
First the Gendarmes laughed at their small numbers approach, after a few troopers dropped from the accurate small-arms fire and they saw the claymores come out...all of them drew pistols and sent the kilt clad brave men off into the buildings for cover.
With the unknown dragoon force pressing in from the west and the St. Maurice Kings troops holding the edge of the town, running out of any troops to actually take action with, Francios l'Marquise de Hottatrot
ordered the general retreat and left the area to the north. Leaving Neu Isenberg in the hands of St. Maurice, yet not without cost as the prisoners were also herded along with the main body.
End result:
Neu Isenberg now in the hands of St. Maurice.
Losses:
St. Maurice: 2bn militia
Some cavalry in the Gendarmes and Lancers (who will be at least a day before they can even form up again [with lots of loot!])
Some line infantry, perhaps a company KIA, with 2 companies wounded. No forces are fresh and no pursuit is possible.
Frankzonia: 1bn Line troops KIA
1bn Militia scattered over the area to the north
Frangipani Hussars were really badly mauled by both the Gendarmes and Lancers (they were broken morale and hit in the back!) ~ I suspect they did not get away at all.
Arthur's Hussars were wounded, but not mauled.
The Blues were decimated by musket and sabre, 50% casualties and wounds to nearly everyone else.
No troops came away without casualty, they were not in good order as a body of men on retreat, only two battalions of Line were in any sort of order.
No effective defensive line would be available for 2 days from these troops.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
The commands were split between two players on each side and I did "Kreigspeil" using a rough set of notes and my own 'hybrid' system based on Envoy and GURPS ~ so as to allow some of the very colorful character elements that Frankzonian commanders have to perhaps shine through, sorry if not much made it to the tabletop = there is just soooo much to work with!
Interesting note regarding the players, twin sisters took opposing sides during the battle and I am interested in hearing from them about their game-play experience.
so ends this AAR.

Napoleonic Wargaming
A new blog that I have come across is Napoleonic Wargaming, the author is currently working out campaign mapping issues.
I find it interesting as this is exactly the issues that I am struggling with for the 1809 Campaign Game that I am still working on putting into action in the not too distant future.

Battle of Neu-Isenburg
The contest betwixt Louis-Philippe of St. Maurice and Frankzonia is about ready to start.
See the attached map of the expected battlefield, essentially dominated by light woods...
as can be seen from this satellite image of the area.
All that remains now are the battle plans of the contestants.
The forces are:
St. Maurice:
Cavalry Brigade of Lancers and Hussars
Detached Cavalry force of Gendarmes
Infantry Brigade of two regiments with Battalions each and a light artillery battery with an attached "Zombie" militia unit of 2 Battalions for a total of 6 Battalions of foot.
Frankzonia:
Cavalry brigade of Hussars and attached Cuirass
Infantry of 4 Battalions of line, 1 Battalion of Jagers and a Battalion of Militia, along with an impressive array of command characters!
I expect to see the battle plans in the next day or so then the troops take to the tabletop this weekend!

Computer Problems solved?
I have had a few weeks of connectivity challenges, brought on by a worm that kept on shutting down my system.
Yesterday I had to purge the whole system and clean it all off. ~sigh~
Unfortunately this also means that much of the work I had done towards the 1809 game has been wiped clean also. ~sigh~
Time for work and other higher priorities has come on and I cannot see a hole big enough for running the whole game -alone-.
I am still seeking helper players and keen tabletop gamers for the project, control systems will be more humble (in the end that may be a good thing).
It also means that many of my email addresses are lost, so if you have communicated with me in the past and have not heard from me in a while please do send me a new message (so that I can recover all those missing email contacts).
I am also still going to do the Kingdom of St. Maurice and Frankszonia battle ~ going into next week. I need the OOB for BOTH sides sooner rather than later though!

Understanding the bailout:
Once upon a time a man appeared in a village and announced to the villagers that he would buy monkeys for $10 each.
The villagers, knowing there were many monkeys, went to the forest and started catching them. The man bought thousands at $10 and, as supply started to diminish, the villagers stopped their effort.
He then announced that he would buy monkeys at $20 each. This renewed the villager's efforts and they started catching monkeys again.
Soon the supply diminished and people started going back to their farms. The offer increased to $25 each and the supply of monkeys became so scarce it was an effort to even find a monkey, let alone catch it!
The man now announced that he would buy monkeys at $50 each! However, since he had to go to the city on some business, his assistant would buy on his behalf.
The assistant told the villagers, "Look at all these monkeys in the big cage that my boss has already collected. I will sell them to you at $35 and when my boss returns, you can sell them to him for $50."
The villagers rounded up all their savings and bought all the monkeys for 700 billion dollars.
They never saw the man or his assistant again, only lots and lots of monkeys!
Now you have a better understanding of how the Wall Street Bailout Plan works.

Long Live the King
I am hip deep in the preparations for a Long Live the King game planned for the coming Dak-Kon convention in Courtenay, BC.
In two weeks I will get a last chance at a playtest then go live on February 28 at the event.
Following the playtest I will have some comments for all of you here.
If you know of any play aids from the web please enter a comment regarding them and I will try to bring them into use. I have a word document one that I am working with right now.
Cheers

Reality Check:
I have been rather busy with business and learning about business opportunities recently and have not posted here much.
Nor have I finished many painted minis, the need to have funds outweighs the need to move a brush right now.
Along the way in my learning I have come across a significant observation and feel that I must share it with anyone willing to listen.
"The financial tide is moving. It will not float any boats."
Please view the following two videos and take the information in...see where it might apply in your life.
I share it only because I understand that not knowing will be the greatest mistake.
Thanks all.
