A Bloody Affair?

Otherwise the little known Battle of Bugerov and a chance to get most of the painted part of my Crimean War collection out on the tabletop battlefield here in GHQ. Paul, as Grand Duke Gornellevic, commanded the Roosians ~

Leaving me, as General E Useless, to command the British forces ~

'History' tells us that the Battle of Bugerov was fought almost by accident rather than design when both opposing forces found themselves approaching the small collection of hovels which made up the village of Bugerov, where they hoped to find sustenance and rudimentary shelter from the rigors of the march. The two opposing armies drew determined up to contest control of those few hovels ~

The Roosian army of Gornellevic enjoyed a small advantage in units, especially in artillery which begin the battle already deployed for action ~

General E Useless deployed his army confident they would sweep the Roosian hordes from the field without difficulty ~

The battle will be fought as usual here in GHQ using Black Powder 2 as the rules, with some suggestions from the first edition scenario. The game was scheduled to last twelve turns as is our habit here. There will of course be a fully illustrated AAR later in the week...
