MT19 The Prussians

Round 3 Grossbeeren

Soul1st (French) - 8 ( lost 39 blocks)
Giulio (Prussian) - 10 (lost 23 blocks)


Fast-paced battle. The French start strong and exert a lot of pressure on their left flank, assaulting the Prussian batteries. The maneuver succeeds but with casualties. The losses on both sides are comparable. At this point the Prussian maneuver on the French right flank taking control of the ridge and inflicting some losses. Twan is probably lacking cards in this section to counter the Prussians, so he decides to advance in the center taking the mill and hill objective points. A couple of cavalry charge by the Prussian increase the loss differential and also reduce the hand size of the French. However, a rally restores a French lancer unit to its full strength and allow Twan to capture two more units. But a Prussian Bayonet charge against squared infantry units closes the game.

Twan played smart: not being able to counter the Prussian in all the sectors, he clinched to the objective points and achieved a very good final score notwithstanding the reduced mobility and hand size. Well played!

Round 1 JENA

French (Togan Alper) 8 banners, 16 blocks lost

Prussians (Giulio) 3 banners, 26 blocks lost

The french right flank under the command of Hilaire pushed all his forces forward, with a grand manev. the french young guard and the center right also established itself in the forest line. The dice and card luck were on the french side. The French successfully continued to push on the left flank. Upon completely destroying the left they then bayonet charged from the treeline into the center right of the Prussians ant that was enough for the Prussians to decide to surrender reaching he limit of 8 banners.

So I haven't heard direct from Ilya in a while, and indirectly I've heard he is too busy to play.

So unless I hear he is playing, and getting results in this week, I think we need to score his results and concedes, which is a bit of a nuisance.
Anyway, let's see what happens.

Not that matters much, if Ilia can’t play his battles, but I have seen you have updated the Mt19 scores. Apparently you miss my Rnd1 battle with Cavie. You can find the report a few posts below.

Thanks Mark for all your commitment in keeping this tourneys running.

Max

why is the score for the soul1st round4 (with Mark G) missing ?. I understand soul1st won since Mark has 8, so it should be 11 for soul1st, I guess )

yes.. fixed up now. Why, dunno. Think I got distracted..

Round 3 Grossbeeren

Ezpickins (French) - 1 ( lost 23 blocks)
Giulio (Prussian) - 8 (lost 9 blocks)

French tried to repeatedly attack in all the sections but the Prussians always had the cards to push them back. All the bayonet charge and forced march of the game has been played by the Prussian side. The Prussians were also favored in terms of dice rolls and by a steady supply of scout cards (four in total), whence the final limited losses.

So I've listed the Ilya matches as forfeits, and the Semi-Final draw is now posted

in short
Allies Match gottoman vs. Gonzo
French Match toganalper vs. RiverWanderer

Scenario: 416 Laon - French Right (9&10 March 1814)

good luck to all
