On Saturday I got the chance to take part in my first large scale General De Brigade refight - the Battle of Ligny. I took command of a brigade of French Light Cavalry (Lancers and Chasseurs), and spent most of the battle charging Prussian squares to little effect. I broke one Landwehr Square, but lost the bulk of my brigade against line infantry squares - including losing my Brigadier in the first charge (he fled at the sound of the guns and was executed the next day!)
regardless it was a great game and with over 1000 figures on the table, it was an impressive sight to see.
