War of the Triple Alliance

This week's 15mm Volley and Bayonet outing was an 1866 battle from the War of the Triple Alliance in South America. As usual, not a full blown AAR but just a few shots of Jon's lovely figures.






A surprising amount of cavalry in the war, here a first combat

One of those 'frantic cavalry Melees' developed in the centre


I am enjoying the opportunities to play so many of the great sub periods of the 1700-1900 period covered by the Volley and Bayonet rules.

    Superb and great to see more V&B action - that battle looks very tense - great 15mm action. I am looking at more ACW and AWI action, with some 1690s battles to follow. best rules EVARRR :)
