Rommel at Cosnes, 1914 - part 1

 

Picking up a few more 1914 French recently prompted me to revisit this Skirmish Campaigns book.  Thus it was that a couple of weeks ago I set up the first scenario and five players joined me on Zoom as we ran through it using A Fistful Of Lead.  Above - Young Lt. Rommel poses with a later literary effort.

The Germans were played by Russell and Pete - the latter as Rommel himself.

The French were commanded by John, Simon and Diego.

If you've been counting, you'll have established that the six of us were entertained for two evenings by a game with only 19 toy soldiers!  All are 54mm metal from my own collection.  I can't take credit for any of the original paintwork.

I'll reveal the action over a further two posts.
