RAID ON ST MICHEL WITH BLACK POWDER 2

 I was lucky enough to get an article published in this years Wargames Annual.   It sets out how my friends and I  played through the 5 scenarios in Charles Grant's' Raid on St Michel' imaginations campaign book using Black Powder.  I had to develop a system to assess the casualties on the units and how these flowed forward to the following scenarios.  Also included are my troop ratings for the units.

Many thanks to Charles for having the original scenario maps redone in full colour and providing  colour versions of some of the original black and white photos in the book to go along with my 2022 game photos. My plan for 2024 is to play thru 4 scenarios from the 'Annexation of Chiraz',
