Cavalry Skirmish 1781

 

  

A smallish skirmish I played out recently.  The British Legion (and 17th LD) vs Lauzun's Legion in a all cavalry clash.  Fun back and forth but in the end the French sent them packing.   Tarleton and Lauzun did cross swords with the Duke getting a slight wound and Tarleton unhorsed and rescued at the last minute by the 17th LD.  Fun game and most colorfu

  1. Nice to see an all cavalry clash Mark, not a thing you see too much off and that rogue Tarleton unhorsed too!

    1. You don’t get these very often in the Rev War period. But years ago unread about a fight between the two groups and always wanted to play it out. Certainly very colorful!

  7. That looked superb. Beautiful figures (do I correctly spy 1/72 conversions and 20 mm Newline?) and we all love a big cavalry action!
    Best wishes, James
