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 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.
