Long, positioning battle. Neither player probably had a hand of cards good enough to finish it soon. We battled all over the map. The Prussian tried to break the French lines on their left flank, and on a couple of occasions almost succeeded. But also thanks to good cards (La Grande Maneuver), the French resisted and repelled the attack, with losses on both sides. The French tried to push on their left, but their attack stalled. They were on the verge of losing control of the majority of the village hexes, but then everything was resolved by the bold Granadiere in the center, sustained by a most welcome Rally card. The game lasted for 3 hours and 10 minutes, with no breaks. Maybe it's my record. Playing with Mark was a pleasure, as usual. I'm happy to report that we had no issues with the module.

Similar to the other game. A long battle of attrition. The French start is strong. Their cavalry ravages the Prussian lines and the French artillery is productive. The Prussians advance in the center. The control of the village alternates between the two armies but finally, Grossbeeren is in Prussian hands. A lucky roll and a problematic retreat give the victory to the Prussians. Probably an anticlimatic finale... Playing with Mark is always a pleasure. Looking forward to the next one.

For reasons I've never really understood, you can only do so from the Forum section.
So when you do a reply to the Tournament (which is an article), you can't add Files

However, if you write it up, save, and then edit the report, you can.
Alternatively, you can go to the Forums, find the Tournament report thread, and add the report and files in one go.

Glory is fleeting, but obscurity is forever.

414 Grossbeeren (23 August 1813) [OT2019-Quarter Finals - 2nd game]
French(A) 10 vs Prussia(Gonzo) 7


Dice carried on their strange habit producing strange results throughout the game.
Great tactical battle with many memorable moments.
French had an overall good hand, therfore were able to respond to all Prussian initiative.

The longest and most stressfull game I ever had. Game took for about 4 hours and 3 sessions to complete.
Hail to my noble opponent for his sportsmanship and gallantry.

As both games ended as 10-7 victory for the French the Overall Number of Blocks lost is a possible tiebreaker.

1st Game
45 Gonzo vs 32 Kandras78

2nd Game
38 Kandras78 vs 52 Gonzo

Total:
97 Gonzo vs 70 Kandras78

SEMIFINAL

M503 - Sorauren (French left) - 28 July 1813

Game 1

Viridovilas (French) 9 banners
Gileforn (British) 5 banners


The battle not surprisingly started with the Anglo-Spanish taking full advantage of their field position and artillery superiority, while the French struggled to advance over the stream. In order to relieve pressure on its left wing, Marshal Soult then launched a bayonet charge towards the hills on his right wing. After a few initial difficulties, the charge proved successful. However, with a smart and skilful manoeuvre, Wellington managed to withdraw his left wing, limiting casualties to the minimum. At the same time the British general put his full-strength artillery just under the central well-guarded hills targeting the bulk of French infantries still behind the stream. What followed was a real pigeon shooting, with the French playing evidently the role of pigeons. It was already time of desperation. General Reille took the initiative and made the last French effort, forcing march his brigade towards the central hills. A combination of nice tactic cards (including a well-timed First strike) an lucky roll made the rest…
