Beautiful terrain and figures! However, I still feel that those casualty rings look really silly! |
| Brent27511 | 04 Jan 2009 8:11 a.m. PST |
Very nicely done. Great pictures. |
| Lord Hill | 04 Jan 2009 8:22 a.m. PST |
Amazing stuff! Truly incredible. Brits are all Peninsula uniforms though no? :) yours pedantically |
| Travellera | 04 Jan 2009 8:31 a.m. PST |
Stunning pictures! How many man years did it take to paint all those troops? |

What about the outcome of this wonderful game ? |
| Trajanus | 04 Jan 2009 10:26 a.m. PST |
Very, Very Nice! BTW: Who won all the Goldfish and just how many goes did take to throw those little rings over the figures? :o) |
| Dan Beattie | 04 Jan 2009 10:40 a.m. PST |
Wonderful, especially the scenery and photography. |

Wonderful. The Elite miniatures by Pete Morbey are well presented. They are one of my favourite manufacturers. Front Rank and others look great, too. I kept wanting to reach in and turn that wall on La Haye around  |
| Jamesonsafari | 04 Jan 2009 11:10 a.m. PST |
Very stunning. I'm going to send the link to my nephews to keep them inspired. Better than the WW2 game on the same table. What rules used? |
| Widowson | 04 Jan 2009 12:35 p.m. PST |
My only correction would be the size of La Haye Sainte. A full size model was used, but according to the ground scale, a much smaller enclosure is more accurate. The pix are great. Looks like a fine game. |
| Dan Beattie | 04 Jan 2009 12:45 p.m. PST |
It does seem a bit odd that La Haye Sainte and Hougamont are at 1:1 scale (and gorgeous models they are) while the battalions seem to be 1:20. More evidence that our games are very little like real life battles. |

"It does seem a bit odd that La Haye Sainte and Hougoumont are at 1:1 scale (and gorgeous models they are) while the battalions seem to be 1:20. More evidence that our games are very little like real life battles." Or that people just don't seem to "get" the difference between figure scale and ground scale. |

Yeah, Joe, tell Rob to get rid of all those figures and get some "real" 6mm ones, then you could have a proper model of Hougemount 3" square.It would be SO MUCH better. Or perhaps some people just don't get the difference between an average wargame and a TRULY IMPRESSIVE one. (btw, Joe, on a 6mm note, are you going to Falmouth at the end of the month?) cheers chris |

No criticism from Texas. Truly inspiring. And I thought I was fortunate. Whew, my collection pales. Well done., |
| Syrinx0 | 04 Jan 2009 7:59 p.m. PST |
Very nice layout. I know nothing about Napoleonics so I'm probably failing to be fully impressed by the accuracy of the details but the figures and terrain are beautiful. |

Beautiful figs and terrain. |

Great figures and impressive terrain. But who won? Hard to tell from the photos (which were very good) no swarms of routing troops dashing back to Paris or Brussels. |

"Yeah, Joe, tell Rob to get rid of all those figures and get some "real" 6mm ones, then you could have a proper model of Hougoumont 3" square.It would be SO MUCH better." See what I mean? "But who won? " Presumably the side with the least number of pretty white rings on their heads!! |

Stunning Stuff, Love the Brunswickers!! |
| Azantihighlightning | 05 Jan 2009 8:09 a.m. PST |
Love it – what was the outcome? That scale argument is such nads! |
| bgbboogie | 05 Jan 2009 8:30 a.m. PST |
Not my scale but it looks fantastic…… |
| GeorgethePug | 06 Jan 2009 11:48 a.m. PST |
Are these 28mm or 15mm ? Great everything |
| GeorgethePug | 06 Jan 2009 12:28 p.m. PST |

It's a game, so the white rings don't bother me one bit. Beautiful terrain and figures. It looks like every single possible figure was painted to the highest standards. This must have taken year to put together. |
| Der Alte Fritz | 09 Jan 2009 2:49 p.m. PST |
BTW, this game demonstrates why the UK is the centre of the wargaming world. Top notch game. Everyone looks very serious though. |
| Craig Ambler | 10 Jan 2009 7:30 a.m. PST |
Excellent game. I hope the game went well and you all had fun. I am painting my first 25mm Napoleonics figures for years for a skirmish (normally a 15mm man). This makes it look very easy. Brilliant stuff Craig |
| Tommiatkins | 10 Jan 2009 9:24 a.m. PST |
What a fantastic game. This is what Wargaming is all about! Your wargame room looks like one i used to have before i scrapped it as being too claustrophobic, pokey and underequipped. |
| Woolshed Wargamer | 13 Feb 2009 2:14 p.m. PST |
Every once in a while we need to see a big game like this to remind us why we love Napoleonics so much. Well done lads. Brian |
| Field Marshal | 13 Feb 2009 2:38 p.m. PST |
i am in awe and very envious! Stunning and that is wargames room! |
| Maxshadow | 13 Feb 2009 8:26 p.m. PST |
Awsome is right. Plus its lots of photos not just one or two. |
