Milano wargame 2015

On March 1, 2015 I partecipated with other five members of my club at an Italian wargame exhibition: Milano Wargame 2015.

We presented a table about the second Independence Italian war: the battle of Vinzaglio.



The scenario and the rules are prepared by Paolo M.
Paolo has written a short manual that permits to recreate the battles of the Italian Independence period. It is a very quick and well designed rulebook that was tested also for tournaments. 

Our table, as well as the tables of other participants, attracted people



We fought two battles during the day. The first saw the victory of Austrian forces:

Initial deployment


The Italian cavalry tries to break the Austrian left wing and ... 



... they are repelled 



The lucky does not assist the Italian forces on the left




During the break between the first and the second battles I took some pictures to the other tables.

Belisarius against the Parthians




A battle of Bedriaco




Waterloo




On contrary the second round of Vinzaglio Battle saw an Italian victory

Initial deployment



This time the Italians concentrated their forces in the center



While on the left the Italian units overwhelm the Austrian infantrymen


and the cavalry surrounds the village




It was a very beautiful day and an experience to try again.
