110 Tamames, Round 3, Game 1

FoxK (Allies) 6 Banners

GomJabbar (French) 8 Banners

The battle started with a French Bayonet charge on the right that was almost halted by Spanish guerillas but forged ahead. The French pushed forward aggressively on the right and the Spanish tried a calvary charge to push the French back but eventually fell back to the center hills and left the French right flank virtually empty. The Spanish right saw their comrades routing into the hills next to them and charged forward in revenge. The French knew the Spanish were ineffective on the move and just waited for them. When the French left did open fire the result was Spanish defeat.

110 Tamames, Round 3, Game 2

GomJabbar (Allies) 7 Banners

FoxK (French) 8 Banners

Again the battle started with a French Bayonet charge on the right but this time the guerrillas let them come. The Spanish held back and let the French come to them on the French right and it was largely effective. The French also made feints in the center and French left but the Spanish pushed back with some French losses. The dice were going the Spanish way so they decided to push the advantage on their left but got too cocky and got pummeled by French cavalry charges and cannon fire. The endgame was a massive swirling melee of horses and men on the French right and came to a nail-biter ending with the French dice finally going their way.

Thanks, FoxK, for the games. That Game 2 ending was exciting. Could have gone either way. Good luck in the rest of the tournament.

110 Tamames, Round 3, Game 1

Jaboskov (French) - 3

Gileforn (Allies) - 8

That was a hard game for French troops with guerilla attack at the beginning and coping of a 2-2-2 order. FA was allocated with tactic card from the baseline, but cavalry attack rushed it at once. All was done by Spanish was done with cavalry and arty, also infantry helped a little.
P.S. have drawn a guerilla token after full using of scouts, because mashed up in 4.2 version and forfot a little bit about drawing, and can't find a way to bring it back. Anyway haven't used it in this case, becasue really I haven't it, just answer for some question why it is marked in the hand.


110 Tamames, Round 3, Game 1

Jaboskov (Allies) - 7

Gileforn (French) - 8


That was a really difficult battle, where Spanish army had a very good chance. Strong attacks on French positions on the left and on the right, very good arty working, a fortress in the towns with light troops inside. Only luck gave some chances to French troops to win. Spanish center was broken and last banners received. Also there was 1/6 chance to Spanish to get last banner with leader hitting, but all was good for French.

Big thanks to Joe for the good play.

Game 2

Allies: soul1st 4 banners
French: David I 8 banners

This game unfolded similarly with the French taking Tamames , absorbing a couple of guerilla actions and then storming the right flank with Cavalry charges. The French left was almost completely static.

Thanks to Twan for very enjoyable and pacy games. Made a nice change from the Epic tournament ( like the difference between a 20 over game and a test match in cricketing terms )

Round 3 Game 2

Rand – French – 8 banners
Toganalper – Allies – 7 banners

The French immediately attack up the center of the battlefield scoring some early banners, with melee combat breaking out in the hills to the north of Tamames. The Spanish are able to build up a hand of cards to their advantage and launch an attack against the French left flank. This offensive, when combined with successful guerilla tokens, completely destroys the French left, and drives Marcognet from the field in disgrace. With the Spanish leading 6 to 1, their calvary advances on the French right, forcing an Infantry unit into square. The French force march all available Infantry units in the center causing huge casualties amongst the Spanish. On the French right, a Spanish Light Calvary combines arms with an artillery unit and forces a French Horse Artillery into retreat. The Spanish Light Calvary gambles for victory and chases the Horse Artillery, though it fails to destroy its fleeing opponent. In a counter-charge, the Spanish Light Calvary is surrounded and destroyed, giving the French the victory banner.

Thanks to Togan Alper for two very close and tense games, great fun and enjoyable.

Spanish: Carl Moon. 8 banners.

Well, the cards and the dice where with the Spanish for this re-encounter. Initial French attacks beaten back, with the Spanish light infantry in Tamames being heroes. A Spanish cavalry attack brought initial success, before being wiped out, with only a general left who fled. As it got closer, a Spanish infantry attack in the center clawed the win. Thanks Geoff.
