Deutsch-Wagram at Colours

[DCRBrown]

Loughton Strike Force put on a game at Colours this year where we depicted the French assaults in the afternoon of the 6th July against the final Austrian held positions in Deutsch-Wagram and on the Russbach Heights during the Battle of Wagram, 1809.

For the full report see:

Figures were mainly AB, with a smattering of Old Glory and Minifigs.
Buildings were a mix of Total Battle Miniatures, old Architectural Hertitage and some Timecast and Hovels.
Rules were General d’Armee.

That looks pretty, how did the day go?

M,

Colours is always a good day!

Not too crowded but certainly not sparse on punters either.

As we run a mixed demo and participation game we easily had room for our three Colours participants to join in the game, one on the Austrian side and two willing French commanders!

Looking gorgeous as always, Dave!

And the game’s not bad either, sweetie!

I hope this doesn’t sound as if I’m carping: why is the terrain so dry looking?

Obviously a great looking game but I’d’ve thought a greener battlefield?

D,

It was greener on the day – honest!

The terrain matt used is a mix of green (mostly) and tan. However when reproduced in photos the green becomes far more brown, if that makes sense.

I have a green/brown terrain mat that my digital camera decides is mostly brown from time to time. My condolences.

It's never too late to have a happy childhood

Thanks. I’ve had my share of colour-correction issues: famously, my ‘licorice all-sorts Gauls’.
