Just a shorter than normal post today. Based on an off-line discussion I started looking at my Napoleonic troops again, and realized that I'm short of defensive works. I have the Great Redoubt and the hill complete with Wolf Pits on the flank of the redoubt for Borodino. But I couldn't locate any of the Fleches. I think when we ran it at Historicon we just used Gabions in a roughly 'V' shaped formation (hard to believe that was 13 years ago).
Any way, since I found myself with more time on my hands than brains a couple of weeks ago, I decided it was time to build at least one of the 3 Fleches.
The Flèche is 3 pieces, the gun emplacement, with infantry earthworks on the flanks.
And here's the proof I actually did it instead of just thought about doing it.
I hope everyone has had a mild Fall, and the Winter is kind to you as well.
Take care
So much lead, so little time.
Very cool. Now who do you need to protect against?
