Valour and Fortitude Napoleonic Game

 Napoleonic Valour & Fortitude

Our second game of valour & fortitude, colour me impressed, we completed a 3 brigade game (2 infantry and 1 cavalry each) in under two hours after set up. 

The rules are simple but do have enough nuances to make it interesting for me, but does get a result. I am loving the speed for morale degradation though the most, the crazy movement distances and interpenetration rules will catch you out if you are not looking for it also. Guns I feel are under powered as per most napoleonic rules, with only 1 die chance on a 4 plus at any distance canister at 18 inches has 2 dice. Otherwise very happy with them considering it is four pages long.

My French mates Philippe and Jean playing French/Nassau vs me. I have my current projects on the table my Prussian and Hanoverian armies.



Philippes Nassauers 









French cavalry fall short when a strategy card is played


counter charge by the Prussian dragoons with free interpenetration of infantry....


Hanoverian line is faltering






 nasty canister does its job and the brigade flee


Hanoverian Brigade breaks and flees



















The Victory brew Coreff, Breton beer!


A good night out, we are translating the rules to French over the next  month or so


cheers
