Bonjour à tous,
Au lendemain de Wagram, les ordres de l'archiduc sont clairs :
La route de Vienne doit être fermée aux Français.
Une colline, quelques redoutes, une rivière...voilà un terrain propice!
Hello everyone,
In the aftermath of Wagram, the orders of the Archduke are clear:
The Vienna road must be closed to the French.
A hill, a few redoubts, a river ... an interesting battlefield!

Tour 6 : sur toute la table les combats font rage, et notre première ligne souffre. Turn 6: all over the table fighting rages, and our first line suffers. |
Gros plan sur notre charge autrichienne...peu de nos valeureux cavaliers en reviendront... Focus on our little Austrian charge... only a few brave riders will come back... |
Il est temps de passer au plan B...quel est-il déjà? It's time to go to plan B ... remind me it please... |
Et une colonne de grenadiers en renforts fait toujours plaisir à voir! And reinforcements grenadiers column is always nice to see! |
Il reste 2 tours à jouer...les Français n'ont toujours pas mis un pied sur la colline, et il leur faut une brigade entière pour gagner... It remains to play 2 rounds ... the French have still not set foot on the hill, and they need an entire brigade to win ... |
Notre aile droite : cuirassiers autrichiens contre hussards français...ils se neutraliseront. Our right wing: Austrian cuirassiers against French hussars ... they will neutralize themselves |
Enfin une bonne nouvelle! Finally some good news! |
Bonne nouvelle! Une pluie torrentielle s'abat sur le champ de bataille,
réduisant les tirs et les mouvements...l'attaque française piétine...
Good news! A torrential rain fell on the battlefield,
reducing shootings and the movements ... the French attack stalles ...

Welcome to Paul!
Awesome! ;o) I like the rain/battery picture, all photos of the figures are great!
RépondreSupprimertwo thumbs up!
cheers,
Very kind of you Phil, many thanks!
SupprimerAnother splendid game, Phil. Austro-Hungarian armies had lovely uniforms - I particularly like the Hungarian Grenadiers in their fur caps and blue breeches.
RépondreSupprimerThe early war Austrian uniforms are my favorites, glad you like this report Dean!
SupprimerAnother brilliant report. Always great tables with wonderful terrain and figures all shown at their best by some great photography!
RépondreSupprimerI appreciate your sweet comment my friend, thanks a lot...

RépondreSupprimerMerci beaucoup Carlos, et encore bravo pour ton dernier post...

SupprimerVery interesting game and report.
RépondreSupprimerNapoleonic Wars - our next priority theme.
A wonderful theme...not so easy sometimes imo, but uniforms are splendid...thanks, and courage!
SupprimerAgain, snatching victory from the jaws of defeat - a very exciting account of the battle as it might have gone. But your opponents may have learned from this defeat, so Vienna might not be safe just yet!
RépondreSupprimerThanks again for your dedication in preparing another excellent battle report! They are always entertaining and informative, and almost always lead me to find out more about the historical engagement.
Merci beaucoup!
Each of your insightful comments makes me work harder for the next post my friend ...a big thank you!

SupprimerLol! No problem sir, next time anyway I will play on the French side...may be!
SupprimerCheers...
Que de fougue dans ce rapport, tout est bon! J'apprécie de plus en plus les clichés des scènes de combat, de véritables petits tableaux. Félicitations aux Riflemen.
RépondreSupprimerLudiquement
Merci beaucoup, même si ton exagération me fait quelque peu rougir...
SupprimerAn interesting scenario choice. Quite a mix of nationalities there. Good report and some nicely painted figures, thanks for posting.
RépondreSupprimerThanks a lot, much appreciated...
SupprimerAnother great report! And an interesting choice of scenario!
RépondreSupprimerIn fact an old scenario, previouly for the AWI, in a Wargame Illustrated revue I think...thanks!
SupprimerGreat looking game. Glad the Austrians hung on
RépondreSupprimerThanks...but tomorrow could be a bad day for them!
SupprimerGreat looking game and an even better job of describing the events. Nice one Phil!
RépondreSupprimerThat's very kind of you Rod, I appreciate...a lot!
SupprimerAnother barn burner of a game, and report! You have some superb painters in your club. It's a real treat to look at!
RépondreSupprimerThanks Monty, I must admitt I am one of the worst painters in the club...painful...
SupprimerMagnifique Phil. I thoroughly enjoyed your battle report and the photo's, blessed be the rain that ruins Napoleons day ;-)
RépondreSupprimerThank you so much Dave, I appreciate your kind comment...
SupprimerGreat stuff Phil. I love the animations, especially the rain. If I wasn't working on the Peninsular, I think the 1809 would be the one I would go for.
RépondreSupprimerCheers
JJ
We only need time to play each period! Thanks for your kind words...
SupprimerLove the rain effects and that Austrian Grenadier marching column looks superb.
RépondreSupprimerRain effect is mine, thanks a lot, Austrian grenadiers are Christopher's, thanks for him!
SupprimerI noticed some nice looking banners in the armies above. Are all of them decals or are some hand painted?
RépondreSupprimerDecals I think...I've got a few hand painted...but much less nice! Thanksfor visiting Kuan!
SupprimerHi Phil, your battle scenes are wonderful. Full of details. I must be awesome to see it in person.
RépondreSupprimerIm waiting for more!
That's so kind of you Kike, much appreciated!
SupprimerCongratulations to Austrian players! I love when during the battle you have plan A and B or even C sometimes and none of them working ;) Great battle and great report.
RépondreSupprimerGlad you liked it Bart...plan Z is coming soon!
SupprimerAnother enjoyable AAR. Great pictures and love the effects
RépondreSupprimerThat's very nice of you MiniMike, thanks a lot...
SupprimerBravo vous avez perdu la redoute, mais avez tenu la colline. J'aime particulièrement la colonne des grenadiers autrichiens

SupprimerA great game Phil

SupprimerGreat Battle Raport like always Phil :)
RépondreSupprimerThanks again...
SupprimerThose haystacks look like ideal places to hide some units, though in real life it wouldn't have been practical. Good battle report with beautiful minis.
RépondreSupprimerAgree with you for the stacks! Thanks...
