Lobositz Christmas Game

This year's game, with all six players participating (well Steve as Ref) - Lobositz with Slack Chowder - The Rules that let you Roll Dice and Move Miniatures...

 The (incredibly difficult if you're the Prussians...) Battle of Lobositz.

Lots of d6, lots of (mis)activations; but hey, it's Christmas.

 'Where's this Slack Chowder he's talking about? I'm hungry.'

 Table set up.

 The Austrian centre.

 The Prussian centre-left; facing Lobositz from the vantage of the Humulkaberg.

Austrian units would hold Lobositz all day. 

 The sunken road running to the bridge across the Morellan-Bach.

 Prussian cavalry, surging around all day looking for breakthroughs, or sitting on the left doing very little, but preventing free reign movement of Austrian units.

The Prussian left, where there would be fighting all day on Lobosch Hill.

 

 Buckets 'o' d6.

 Good view of the centre and right of the Prussian line, where infantry assaults would be deflected, while cavalry would seek a breakthrough on the well defended flank at Sullowitz..

 More action from the left flank.

 ...where Prussian cavalry sat all day, east of the hill, in order to prevent free movement on the Austrian right. Ultimately wasted...

 Just look at those lovely limbers!!! ;0

 We tried pressing down real hard on the table in order to try and make it flip, but to no avail...

 

 Action in the centre, but it's a tough nut to crack.

 The Prussian right was quiet most of the day, and proved to be well defended. By the end of the day, Austrians were counterattacking through the marsh, to the north of the biscuit wrappers.

 

 Prussian elite forced back in the centre.

 Action on the right, near cookie vale.

 

 By game end, Austrian units are counterattacking in the centre, as the Prussian left collapses on Lobosch Hill, and Prussian cavalry is hamstrung on the far right.
