Bienvenue à Matt, Maj.Gen. C. G. Gordon, Royal Engineers!
Beatiful!!! and Polish Winged Hussars!
RépondreSupprimerPolish Winged Hussars is a incredible unit for me, really wonderful and almost unreal...glad you enjoy Michal!
Supprimerbravo! Une periode peu jouee et de belles figs, avec un beau cr.
RépondreSupprimerMerci Seb, c'est vrai que c'est une période malheureusement très rare sur nos tables...
SupprimerAnother tremendous game and wonderful report. The 'what players think' photograph is inspired!.
RépondreSupprimerI am pretty satisfied of this gif...not so far from truth may be! Thanks Michael...
SupprimerThat gif made me laugh!
SupprimerThat was the point, heppy to read this Anne!
SupprimerYes, as Michael said. Always a pleasure to view your wonderful games with historical background. Love the count's carriage as well as the winged hussars.
RépondreSupprimerThanks a lot Dean, as I said I am always impressed by these splendid hussars, Christopher's paint job...
SupprimerLa glorieuse Bataille de Kahlenberg! grande victoire pour le christianisme. Un jeu de guerre significative pour les temps que nous vivons ... et surtout pour l'Europe. Très belles figures des légendaires Hussards Ailées. Salutations du extrême sud.
RépondreSupprimerMerci beaucoup Carlos, ces hussards ailés remportent un franc succès décidément...mais est-ce une surprise? Salutations de France!
SupprimerTrès bon CR, l'armée ottomane est très belle. Je suis assez en accord avec le doux rêveur de petites bouteilles de houblon.......
RépondreSupprimerJe vois que monsieur est connaisseur...merci Frantz!
SupprimerGreat AAR! Nice to see a game involving Ottomans! They are surprisingly rare on the games tables considering how large their Empire was and how many wars they took part in.
RépondreSupprimerAgree! This colorful army is really, really impressive...and rare! Glad you enjoy, thanks!
SupprimerHahaha, les reves des joueurs - magnifique, cette idée!! Je préfère l´Amazone, moi aussi....
RépondreSupprimerSupe jolie, la bataille - j´aime les Turques avec leur chapeaux et les bleu des manteaux..
Merci pour ce divertissement!!
Peter

SupprimerSmashing work Phil!
RépondreSupprimerThank you so much Paul!
SupprimerFantastic report Phil, its an excellent period, maybe I should get some Ottomans too????
RépondreSupprimerDear Santa Claus, if you read these lines...
SupprimerGreat AAR Phil, like flipping though a book. Hope to see more of those Winged Hussars in games to come, amazing painting for 15s!
RépondreSupprimerThat's very kind of you, thanks for your kind words...
SupprimerFantastic again! Your reports are an institution!
RépondreSupprimerYou make me blush Michael, many thanks!
Supprimerlove the little carriages :)
RépondreSupprimerMy region of Vojvodina was the main battlefield between the Austrians and the bloodthirsty Turks which is why we are called Vojvodina (in Serbian it means 'where the battle is lead')
Thanks for this comment Dezmond, it seems that you've got a region (and family) historically very rich and interesting...but probably also witnesses of dramas...
SupprimerVous m'épatez vraiment! La période est peu jouée en France et les armées sont superbes.
RépondreSupprimerSincères félicitations à vous.
Ludiquement
Un grand merci à toi. Comme je le disais, on joue peu cette période, même au club, et c'est un vrai plaisir chaque fois...
SupprimerThose Janissaries look the part alright! And the Polish cavalry are always impressive on the field.
RépondreSupprimerPity about the stalemate, looks as though a return engagement will be needed!
We'll come back for the revenge...many thanks to you, much appreciated.
SupprimerFantastic game report! I also like the beautifull painted figures! The thoughts of the players are a great addition! Lol!
RépondreSupprimerGreetings
Peter
Thank you so much, glad you njoy the players thoughts, it was a bit long to create!
Supprimercool, belle bataille
RépondreSupprimerMerci Mehdi!
SupprimerAlthough I like reading about historical military exploits, I must admit I know nothing of the wars you are recreating above. Nice bat rep as usual.
RépondreSupprimerThanks for your comment...Appreciated!
SupprimerBrilliant looking game Phil! Lots of little details to discover each time I look at the pictures.
RépondreSupprimerThat's very kind of you Jonas...
SupprimerSome great table shots with the castle in the backdrop.
RépondreSupprimerThose players thoughts made me chuckle.
Thanks, mission accomplished!
SupprimerGreat figures and report. The allies will have to regroup and turn back the Ottomans and keep history intact! I'll be posting up my recently finished Ottoman army on my blog soon. I think the one pictured here is nicer. It's a good contrast seeing an exotic army on the table.
RépondreSupprimerThanks, much appreciated...can't wait to see your Ottoman units, this army is really impressive, so many colors...
SupprimerIt is a woderful scene with so many figurines. I would like to have one of this at my home! But I think ther is no room enough jajajajaj.
RépondreSupprimerI love to see battles like this
Congratulations!
Thank you so much, it needs place, you're right!
SupprimerOmg - I've never seen so much action and it's on a blog! Wow, I felt the excitement of Benoit and his rushing Hussies - uh - whatever they were called(smile). I go see Orks at Fran's and the French at Loki's but oh wow! this one really impressed the heck out of me. Just watching 'em cross the field - dammit man - get out of the way!!! (sorry, seems I've lost my head) Thanks for visiting my blog. Can't wait to see the Turks get whooped or does that happen? (history evades me at the moment) Thanks again.
RépondreSupprimerLol! Thank you so much for these kind words, similar to the spirit of your blog, funny and great...so glad you enjoy!
SupprimerFélicitations pour votre excellent travail. Les Armées sont tous magnifiques - j´ai particulièrement aimé les lanciers ailés! :)
RépondreSupprimerMerci beaucoup, ces lanciers sont vraiment un plus sur une table!
