Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to everyone!

Last Wednesday afternoon Craig came over to my place and we played a 24 point a side Rebels and Patriots Waterloo Campaign game. I still had the table and troops set up from my solo game last week. The French were the attackers and the British were the defenders. The French started the game well, chipping away at the British Light Dragoons, who they eventually routed. The British sharp shooting riflemen in turn proved to be very effective and joined by the line infantry killed the French officer and eventually destroyed his veteran line infantry unit. At this point the French casualties were mounting and they were in retreat, so we called time.
