Last Wednesday night down at the club Rick and I played a Clash of Eagles Black Powder game. We used Rick’s lovely 6mm French and Russian armies with army lists from the new Clash of Eagles, Black Powder supplement. The armies were 800 points with two cavalry and two infantry brigades a side, making a division each. In the end we ran out of time but the Russian light cavalry brigade was broken, while in the centre one of the French infantry brigades suffered severely from Russian bayonets. Thanks to Rick for a fun game.
