The toys were out in force yesterday at the monthly meeting of the Devon Wargames Group with a second rendition of the Battle of Barrosa fought in 1811.
This was also a second full play through using 'Over the Hills' rules since we ran the play-test and review here on JJ's back in October last year.
I am really enjoying playing these rules and yesterday's game produced a real corker of a close run thing with the ascendancy always swinging from one side to the other right to the end.

Great pictures
ReplyDeleteThanks for two interesting posts. I enjoyed reading your game report as I had my first bash with Over the Hills a couple of weeks ago.
ReplyDeleteWe stumbled a bit as we always do with new rules, but by the end of the night we were getting the hang of things and had a really good game. We also found our ideas of who was winning seemed to swing from one side to the other through the evening. We're looking forward to playing again.
cheers,
Tom
Nice report JJ.
ReplyDeleteI like the casualty figure in the 3rd picture on this page. I think little touches like that really make a picture.
