Seven Years War Black Powder Game

Whilst at home I managed to play a large game of Seven Years War in 10mm at PAW.

The field was occupied by a Prussian Army confronted by a combined Russian and Austrian force.

We used the new edition of Black Powder, BP2.

The table was 8 foot by 4 foot and the armies numbered over 50 battalions, with over 1000 foot figures.  Then of course we had the cavalry.

The long view, AustroRussian on the left and Prussian on the right

The game came to an end too soon, so a marginal victory for the AustroRussians but it was a great game to play.

BP2, with army list additions from Olicanlad (check out his great blog http://olicanalad.blogspot.com/)

I love playing large games, to me this is what wargaming is all about....hence my aim of collecting big armies lol

All the figures are the fantastic Pendraken,( https://pendraken.co.uk/) thanks Leon.
