With a certain delay I post some pictures of an event in which I was involved some months ago.
In September La Piccola Armata took part of the Marsaglia Battle
reenactment. Thanks to the great work of two club members (Marco G. and Luca P.)
La Piccola has exhibited a reproduction of the battle. The reproduction
included both the map and the units involved in the struggle.
Miniatures were in 15 mm scale and it is possible to find more pictures
directly at the La Piccola web site >>>
A couple of essential notes regarding the battle:
The battle was fought on 4th October 1693 between the French and the
Great Alliance army. The struggle was part of nine year’s war. The French Army
was let by Marshal Catinat (known in Piedmont as the “butcher”) while Duke
Vittorio Amedeo II of Savoy was the commander of allies troops.
The French won the battle. The Piedmontese and their allies had 12,000
deads/wounded against Catinat’s 1,800.
