This weekend I spent an excellent time with 20 other fellow members of AMG.
The event was organised by Graham Cummings (of Crann Tara Miniatures) and his organisation made for a smooth event.
There were 4 games put on by various members and these included Soor, The Sudan, Great Northern War and Chotusitz.
The Chotusitz game was put on by myself and Steve Metheringham, who supplied the bulk of the figures.
We used Piquet Field of Battle and was the first time I had used them in over 5 years.
In all we had 7 players over the two days. On Saturday the Prussians were able to hold off the Austrians long enough for Frederick Infantry to arrive and using their superior musketry defeat the Austrian Infantry.
On Sunday the Austrian cavalry dominated the Prussians so much so that Fredericks Infantry were unable to stave off the final combined attack of the Austrian Infantry and Cavalry.
Here are some pictures of the games.
Some pictures of the other excellent games available over the weekend.

Thank you Mark and Steve for all you did to help provide such an enjoyable weekend. I can't say the Prussian experience in the game I was in was a particularly happy one except for the opportunity to use your wonderful old school style 40mm PA castings so superbly presented - well done.
