Boney - get the hell out of Russia!
So Napoleon and his Grande Armee had reached Moscow during the first part of our campaign, and now it was time to retreat... set simple objectives:
- Napoleon (me) would win if he could get 2/3 of his force beyond Berezina river in 5 campaign rounds
- Alexander (Jaakko) would win if Russians could annihilate more than 1/3 of the Grande Armee
Rules for the retreat phase (adapted Dawns & Departures by Too Fat Lardies)
- We skipped rules for supplying the forces
- Grande Armee groups would suffer shock equal to Round number - (D3+1)
- Russian Groups would suffer shock equal to Round number - (D3)
- +1 would be added to the D3 roll if there was more than 60p. in the column or if the column moved more than one area
- Russian forces were 4 divisions of 60 points
- Grande Armee was a total of 180 points
French starting moves
We individually informed Marko, our Umpire, about our scouting and movement plans, he then proceeded to roll the dice for initiative and movement (terrain impacting). He then announced how we succeeded and where forces collided and battles erupted. Muchos Gracias Marko!
