Terra Ferra

Well the end was as bigger shock to me as to you. The battle of Bergetoise was stacked against the Nordsbocco side. I had planned to have a brigade of Hoysee to back them up but just before the game decided to withhold them.

We have changed the rules used from Neil Thomas' 19th century set to Balance of Power by Mark Sims. We used them for the 2nd battle of Hoy and Andy was well defeated. I was concerned that the rules were at fault so played the game again solo and delivered a overwhelming defeat on Hoysee, so was happy with the rules. After that battle Andy was given the strategic choice of what to do next. He choose to attack Nordsbocco but dicing for the strategic movement had the allies moving first.

Following the Flamboyance defeat, its third in a row, it was decided that a peace would be negotiated. Of course the peace leaves the combatants free to rearm (chassepot anyone?) and gives Keller an excuse to face of with Hoysee over Klien-Hoysee.

The World of Terra Ferra is however about to expand as I spent the last month rebasing my ACW to the same system as my 19th Century European figures, leaving a Brittanic/Francesca intervention in the New World a possibility.
