First outing last night for Adrian's new armies for the Wars of Italian Unification - Neopolitan Piedmontese, so just a few photos of the action.
The Neopolitans attack a town sector... they were summarily repulsed.. ouch.
Had to photograph this (for me this is a rarity..) - a Neopolitan M5 Shock unit went into the attack, four combat dice needing 5s or 6s to it... here's the roll.. made Adrian's eyes water, I can tell you.
That unit was then attacked by 3 units of Piedmontose cavalry. Fortunately they boys stood their ground and were just recoiled (it could have been much worse!!).
Lastly just a couple of shots of Adrian's units alongside some of his beautifully hand made Italian buildings.

Ooo! Looks like a good fight :) I love those buildings!
ReplyDeleteIt was an exceptionally good game.. I managed to take a lower grade army (the Neopolitans were about 70% M4 units), and defeat a superior force of M5 Piedmontese... and yep the buildings are gorgeous.. fantastic to have on the table.
