Perekrjostock October 1812

[bill5549]

Our latest Napoleonic big game was a fictional action, the Battle of Perekrjostok, on the Northern wing of the 1812 Russian campaign. The game was fought at Hugh Wilson’s house on a 14ft by 5ft table. I provided the scenario and the figures. There were 6 players and I umpired. Donald Adamson, Jimmy Conquer and Mark Taylor were the Russian players. Colin Jack, Dave Paterson and Hugh Wilson were the French players. After Jimmy Conquer departed before lunch I took over his Russian command. It was a good fun game.

I have included a full report of how the game played on my blog and I have added a Perekrjostock 1812 page which gives more complete information on the game set-up, terrain map, rules used, the player briefings and order of battle.

It was actually a hidden scenario based on a real action - more on my blog about that.

Opolcheniye go in against the Swiss - who threw 6 hits against them - not a good first action

Super terrain and soldiers. Like the look of the Russians in particular.

Thanks for the comment.

The Russian line infantry figures are by Rava, artillery by Foundry and the Opolcheniye are by Steve Barber. The Moscow Opolcheniye are in the tall felt hats and St Petesburg in the flat peaked caps.
