Scourge of War Quatre Bras - Friedrich von Specht's Though Afternoon
Though scenario! It is no joke to patch up the damage that the Duke of Wellington's complete inaction has brought during the crucial hours of June 16th 1815 is no joke. So here I am in the digital version of the saddle of von Specht and his line infantry brigade.

Moving through the town of Quatre Bras, my first Line Battalion on its way to glory or defeat. In the background, soldiers of the 9th Regiment on Foot (9th Infantry Division).

The mission is to delay the enemy until reinforcements arrive.

Jaggers of the Avant Garde are already in position. My objective area is where the star/sun icon is placed.

Moving troops into contact is not a trivial matter. In games like Scourge of War, where each formation has its own computer controlled commander. Proper coordination will demand enough foresight from the player. In this case, my brigade arrives piecemeal. The First Line Battalion is in the background, closely followed by the Second (foreground).

Fortunately, no major damage resulted from my dubious command.One battlion French infantry from the Jamin Brigade was not in better shape and they fell back after a short exchange of fire. My brigade is shown here, deploying as I commanded it.
