The project has been a bit quiet over the last few months despite me frantically painting a whole host of miniatures for it. The reason? My local club (Sheffield & Rotherham Wargames Club) decided to put on a game of General D’armee at this years Partizan.

The scenario map

For the game we chose to put on a scenario from the new 1813 Campaign book, in this case the Lutzen scenario. This resulted in a need for many many more miniatures to be painted.

Our initial setup of the table on the day ready and waiting for the crowds to arrive. We tweaked the scenario layout sightly based upon a combination of historical maps, satellite imagery and the scenery we have available.

The battle progresses, the Prussians struggled with hesitant brigades on the two flanks, resulting in a slow start. In the center they managed to take Gross-Gorshen from the French and just cling onto it throughout the game. The left flank sees some success managing to slowly push the french back but suffering high casualties in doing so.
