So What's Been Going On?

Haven't posted for a while.  I played my first game, just to test the Pique rules and I was pleasantly surprised!  It played fast, and the chaotic nature of rolling for initiative kept me guessing and worked really well as a solo wargame.  I pitted an equal force of Arnsburg against Munzirnbach.  Muzirnbach kept winning the initiative and caught the Arnsburg forces still in column formation.  They were able to deliver a volley into the formed ranks of Arnsburg Infantry.  I only played a couple rounds and Munzirnbach cavalry was soundly defeated by the Arnsburg cavalry and I called it a very minor Anrsburg victory.  I kept track of casualties and luckily for Arnsburg I rolled low on the casualty die, unlucky for Munzirnbach I rolled very high.  So even though Munzirbach was in control of the battle they inflicted very few casualties on the Arnsburg forces.  Munzirbach suffered heavily in the cavalry battle and Munzirbach's first Dragoons are routed from the field.  I will be typing up a detailed battle report.  I'm going to be adding comic style scenes to it and using battle chronicler for the overall picture. Casualties for the first encounter, Arnsburg lost a total of 68 men; 14 killed and 54 wounded. Munzirnbach lost a total of 148 men, 30 killed and  118 wounded. I've also gone back to painting real miniatures.  I bought the two player starter of Dropzone Commander and have been having a blast painting the minis.  It seems like it is going to be a cool game!
