Had a 1644 game yesterday against Kevin's Austrians that was fun but left me a bit flat in regards the rules, especially the outcomes of cavalry and infantry melees which I felt lasted way too long and were not very decisive. Here are some photos of the game, I finally got to use my newly painted Muscovite army (more to paint) and as usual the favourite unit (Jiltsi lancers) was destroyed the very first game. The game was 1500 points a side with a free general and 2 wing commanders. I had 100 infantry (5 regiments of 20), 144 cavalry and 4 guns whilst Kevin from memory had 120 infantry (3 regiments of 40), 20 dismounted dragoons, 12 grenzers, 5 guns and around 100 cavalry (around 60 cuirrassiers). Kevin used the lAustrian/Imperial list from the new 1644 rulebook and I used the 1644 Muscovite list that I wrote and are on this site (might need tweaking). Hope you enjoy the photos, Kevin's Austrian look very impressive (he has painted them all in the last year or so).
