We fought our fourth annual Old School Big Battalion wargame on Saturday October 10, 2009 in Woodstock, Illinois. Sixteen gamers attended and played with 24 battalions (60 figures each) and some 30 squadrons (12 figures each) per side. So that is about 2,880 infantry and over 720 cavalry figures on the table.

Wow! Good stuff.

I'm very jealous of the amount of space you have available. I can't afford more than a shoebox living where I do.

The game looked like great fun. I also really liked the wax sealed orders. Looking forward to seeing the rest of the battle report.
