At the halfway point of the project, here are the two armies for the War of Spanish Succession project facing off against each other. I set up a battle, used the dice to determine deployment for the Allies, and then had the Confederates deploy based on a plan that was gain rolled for out of a choice of three (basically left flank, right flank, or centre attack). I've played out the first turn, which is where these photos catch up to what is happening,
![]() |
| A view down the table, Allies to the right, Confederates to the left |
![]() |
| The Confederate cavalry have moved to the edge of the hill but still hold an uphill advantage. |
![]() |
| Opposite them the Allied cavalry have also advanced. But what is their next move? |
![]() |
| The Old Purples hold the farm |
![]() |
| While opposite the English Guards are lined up for the assault. |
![]() |
| The Old Yellows and Turkish Blues support the Old Purples in the farm. |
![]() |
| On the Allied right the French infantry advance, masking their guns. What are they doing? |
![]() |
| And away to the edge of the bored the petit guerre is taking place in the vineyards. |
![]() |
| The Austracitas advance on the Confederate left towards the French. |
There may have been some interesting command rolls in this first turn.
Hopefully I'll get to play out the rest tomorrow.
