Enfilade 2026 Sharp Practice Game Event

 

This is a work in Progress. I'll be updating it as time permits, filling out the map with more details and adding the American Rosters. I wanted to get something published for those of you are interested in signing up for the game. 

The game I am hosting at Enfilade 2026 will be played 1st Period of Friday and  third period on Saturday. I will have room for 8 players and the game game will be presented for both days. In order to get everyone involved, the table will be split down the middle by a river with one bridge across it at mid table.. We will use two card decks, one for each side of the table. So there will be two games running at once. Map of the table is shown below.

 



Objective of the game is to control the Bridge by having no enemy within 12 inches of the Bridge while you have at least one Formed Unit within 6" of the Bridge. You earn 10 points for holding the Bridge. Each Building on the Table is worth 5 points as is each enemy Group destroyed or routed off the Table. Any enemy Leaders killed, captured or routed off the Table earn you double their Leader Level. At the End of the Game, add up your Points plus your remaining Force Morale Level to determine the winner. Don't take things too seriously as the Die Rolls and Card draws can be very Random and serve to dictate the narrative of the game. Most of all have FUN! The game is not meant to be a competition, but rather a mechanism to teach gamers How to Play Sharp Practice. 

 

Rosters for the British are shown below. On the right side of the table is Captain Warren Peace with the British Regulars and Lieutenant Serge A. Head with the Highlanders. Out in front of them will be Lt. Gunter Wakendorf with the  Hessian Jaegers armed with Rifles and Lt. Courtleigh Manners with some British Light Infantry Skirmishers.

 
On the other side will be Lieutenant Canby Allgoode leading the British Grenadiers with Sergeant Timmy Rott,  Lieutenant Duncan Doughnut leads the British Provincial Legion in Green coats with Sergeant Creighten Shippet. Thee is also Lieutenant Allen Rench and Sergeant Mal Ingerer each with a Group of British Light Infantry Skirmishers.

 

Depending on how the game goes, British Reinforcements may show up. They consist of Two Groups of British Line, a light 4 pounder artillery piece and a Unit of British Legion Dragoons led by  Lieutenant Colonel Bart Farleton who would take over as the British Force Leader.
