Great War in the Middle East



Every fortnight, we held a long game in our club during the evening to the early morning hours. The latest was last night and involved Turkish and British/Australian forces clashing in Palestine. The game was played with Mud & Blood as ususal. I did not participate and therefore cannot write an AAR, but have just received the photos and they are worth taking a look, just click here or here

Battle of Sabugal 1811



I  played today my first game with Lasalle, a small but very enjoyable scenario based on the Battle of Sabugal in Portugal in April 1811 (you can get the background  by clicking on the previous link to Wikipedia), included in one of ths scenario bookelts of General de Brigade. After failing to breach Torres Vedras, Massena began retreating out of Portugal; Wellington sees the opportunity to cut Reunier's 2nd Corps and sent ahead the Light Division supported by cavalry elements, clashing nearby the town of Sabugal.
