Crimean game

Barry Hilton and myself eventually managed to get together to fight a sample battle for his up and coming Four Empires book which is a Crimean supplement to go with his Republic to Empire rules.
I don't want to give too much away from the battle but here are a few taster shots of the action which involved a French Division of three infantry brigades and a cavalry brigade supported by a brigade of Turks and a Berseglieri unit.

This shows the main infantry brigade led by their Chasseurs a'pied.

Artillery is seen moving up on their flank and a brigade of Zouaves and Turcos in the distance.

Russian rearguard and village defenders.

Attackers go forward.

Storming the village.

I won't give the game away but suffice to say that the battle swung to and fro

and either side could have won until finally decided in the last move.
