Battle of Barossa – Devon Wargames Group

[carojon]

Hi all,
With the 204th anniversary of General Graham’s famous victory at Barossa fought this month in 1811 it was added fun to re-fight the battle based on Dave Brown’s General de Brigade Scenario.

We also tried out a home variation on a rule set from James Purkey at Fife & drum Miniatures that gave us a nail biting end to the game and provides possibilities for the basis of a fast play set of rules for Napoleonics.

If you would like to know more then just follow the link to the Devon Wargames Group blog.

Cheers guys, glad you enjoyed the read. The rules used were really pushed to the limit and I look forward to replaying this action with C&G. Barossa is a great scenario to attack with the British after when just about everything that could have gone wrong already has. It makes you appreciate how good Graham and his troops were on the day.

Cheers

JJ
