Alex, Joe Moore, Sean, Ben, and I got together this weekend for a giant BFAS game. We played a 57ish FSP division level game, comprised of Swedes vs a Russian Conglomerate (with Cossack and Polish allies).

Swedish Reiters deploy on a far flank for an obvious flanking maneuver |
 |
The rest of the Reiters deploy in the middle left battleline |
 |
The Swedish outflankers are matched against the Polish crammed into a far flank. |
 |
Cossack Wagon Train stretches across the Russian midfield |
 |
Musocovite dragoons covering the far left Russian flank |
 |
The Swedish Reiters advance slowly forward |
 |
The outflanking Reiters make a sharp turn towards the Russian lines |
 |
Cossacks and Muscovites advance towards the village and the hill |
 |
Several rounds of Swedish artillery fire weapon the Russian lines |
 |
Swedish Reiters rounding the woods while the Scottsmen set up on the treeline edge |
 |
Muscovites pushing the far left flank |
 |
Aerial shot of the battlefield at the end of turn...2 or 3? |
 |
The flanking Reiters and Polish lines collide resulting in some massive and strange close combat lines |
 |
While the left midfield sees Reiters crashing into the dragoons |
 |
Far left flank advancing cautiously from both sides |
 |
The Cossacks attempt to dislodge the Swedish dragoons from the village |
 |
Push and tug on both sides of the Reiter vs Polish battleline |
 |
The Musocovite lines thin as the Swedes crash into them |
 |
Cossacks keep pouring into the village, but bounding off of the Swedish dragoons |
 |
Swedes continue to push into Moscovite territory |
 |
It's a bad day then the Hussar banners are running away |
 |
Cossacks give up on the assault and just continue to pour firepower into the buildings, supported by some Muscovite on the left |
We ended up calling the game there...both Russian flanks collapsed, although the Dragoon regiment broke and fled from the village.
The 57 points was probably a bit too high for our first divisional endevour, especially with such a hordy-infantry heavy Russian force. But nonetheless, I think we all had a great time, and look forward to a chance to play it again sometime soon!
Good stuff. Sorry I couldn't be there.
