Greetings …
Alan Perry has started posting an account of the recent Salamanca campaign that I took part in…
The Battle of Zamora was the first of only two battles that I took part in…
As I recall General Ricleau and myself would have clearly won this action had the English and their allies not used unfair tactics… such as having more men and rolling much better dice.😳
Alan has posted a relatively accurate account of the battle here…

Here are some of my own images… Which show how truly beautiful and glorious our army was and how immense the English hordes were… 😁
This was an excellent and enjoyable game in the company of good friends…
The miniatures, terrain and all the hard work were /are Alan Perry’s.
All the best Aly
Alan will be regularly posting all the actions and adventures from the campaign on the Perry Miniatures Facebook site…

Cracking photos there Aly, I am sure you were robbed of a victory 😉
ReplyDeleteDefinitely robbed old chap…
DeleteThey were using magic dice…
All the best. Aly
Cripes that looks like a hell of a game. How long did it take to play?
ReplyDeleteIt was indeed a corker…
DeleteWe started at midday-ish and finished six-ish…
All the best. Aly
You’re right! Truly a beautiful Wargaming spectacle.
ReplyDeleteIt was indeed toy soldiertastic Jonathan
DeleteAll the best. Aly
You woz robbed there!
ReplyDeleteYup!
DeleteOutnumbered two to one was particularly unfair…
All the best. Aly
You need at least two to one advantage to assault against an enemy hiding behind brick walls Aly. In fact, modern doctrine suggests three to one in a perfect world!
ReplyDeleteEverything about this game looks superb....except the result, from your perspective !
It was indeed a superb game Keith…
DeleteNext time I think we should issue our troops with live ammunition .
All the best. Aly
What a fabulous looking game. I love it when I can imagine the table groaning from the weight of all those figures!
ReplyDeleteThe table did indeed groan…
DeleteThere was not much in the way of light weight plastics
All the best. Aly
Gorgeous pictures, sounds like a superb game Aly!
ReplyDeleteIt was indeed a splendid game Phil…even if we came second 😁
DeleteAll the best. Aly
Looks fantastic!
ReplyDeleteIndeed… some would say glorious 😁
DeleteAll the best. Aly
Lovely and rather inspiring collection 👍 very nice to play with I am sure
ReplyDeleteIt is indeed Matt…
DeleteI have a real desire to have some Confederation of the Rhine troops for myself 🦋🤣😁
All the best. Aly
Thanks for sharing Aly! This campaign couldn't have come at a better time to get push me to the finish line on my French Peninsular Army. Reading the defense of the town was very entertaining! Rooting for a French Victory.
ReplyDeleteIt’s a pleasure…
DeleteThere was a lot entertaining things going on that I knew nothing about so I am also looking forward to see how things unfolded.
All the best. Aly
Splendid looking game, unfortunate result courtesy of perfidious Albion!
ReplyDeleteBest Iain
Perfidious Albion never plays fair…😁
DeleteAll the best. Aly
I'm really looking forward to seeing how this campaign evolved. Lovely table as always. The penninsular campaign is my second favourite after the Danube one. I regret a bit that I've got into the 100 days instead "doing Spain". Much more interesting!
ReplyDeleteBest wishes,
Jan
Your not the only one who is interested in seeing what happened…
DeleteI only had two battles and marched around a lot…
The problem I have with the Napoleonic Wars is that ot is all interesting…
All the best. Aly
You can't beat a grand Napoleonic battle, made even better by the beautifully painted figures and scenery. Perfect eye candy!
ReplyDeletePerfect eye candy indeed Bob…
DeleteAll the best. Aly
