Another HFG Game

We played another HFG (Horse, Foot, & Guns) game last week at Liberty Hobby Center. This time, Bob & Ron played French & Austrians, both sides marching onto the board (about 75pts per side).

Below are some pix of the action - the French entering on the left, the Austrians on the right. I have some new road sections that I cut out of medium sandpaper. Very stiff and realistic looking.

The cavalry is facing off against each other while behind them, both armies are deploying.

Below is a close-up of the Austrian main body, an Avant Garde corps with (from L to R) Jaeger battalions, 3 Grenzer Brigades, the Corps commander, corps artillery, 2 grenadier and 4 Hungarian Brigades.

The French main force has 7 brigades of infantry, 2 batteries of artillery, and a converged grenadier brigade, overseen by the corps commander. Ahussar brigade is to the far right.

Below is an out of focus picture after the cavalry had clashed in the center, both sides losing one brigade each and the remaining French Hussar brigade that was repulsed moving around the cover of the woods.

The front lines of both sides are closing. The French artillery has recoiled a Grenzer brigade (center). The remaining French cavalry brigade is gone...rounded the woods on the lower right & was blasted by Austrian artillery. The sole remaining Austrian cavalry brigade is threatening the French left, but the French commander has deployed infantry to face them. 

Below is after the last move of the game when we stopped due to time constraints. The French were behind 2 elements to 1.

The order of battle for our little game above is shown below:

Elite Bayonets (converged grenadiers) x 1

Inferior Lt Infantry (Grenz) x 3
Marksmen (Jaegers) x 2
Elite Bayonets (grenadiers) x 2
