A rare excursion out of my basement to someone else's basement. In this case I went to visit George for a Franco Prussian war game using the Chassepots and needle guns rules. I was on the French side commanding the centre (centre right in the above picture). I had one brigade and a battery of three cannons. In the foreground you can see a skirmish of light infantry vs light infantry.

In the end both armies broke. The French had inflicted more damage than the Prussians did, so the 'victory' such as it was went to the French.
It was a fun quick play game. It was also a test game for next year Cangames convention. George was a great host and an excellent ref. I certainly plan to sign up for it at Cangames!
