At the Trenton Gaming Emporium this past weekend, we had a very enjoyable outing with Sharp Practice 2, using the Carlist Wars collection. Facing off against the Carlists (commanded by Jack) were a predominantly British Auxiliary Legion force (commanded by Michael).
As this was Jack's first experience with SP2 (and Michael's second?), I chose the simplest scenario from the rule book, Scenario One, An Encounter and both sides received 12 points of support (while the Carlists received another five points for the Force point differential.
The Cristinos chose to upgrade their Level I Big Man to a Level III and ???
The Carlists were supplemented with an Exploring Officer, two irregular skirmish groups and a Level I Big Man to command them.
A few photos of the game...first up, some Deployment Points:

A vivandiere to re-supply the troops . This was originally intended for the ImagiNations project and will undoubtedly see double duty.

The British Auxiliary Legion march forward, belching fire and destruction. The first fire from this formation included a Controlled Volley and a Crushing Volley to produce a staggering 26 points of shock on a 2-group Carlist formation. BAM!!
