I'm with Lord R, I'd love to be there, but airfare would necessitate me selling a lot of figures. Have a great game, looks awesome!!
Please take lots of photos and post along with your report. |

Thats the plan – assuming I remember my camera and don't get to caught up in the game. Hopefully for posterity my Brigades will be broken early doors and I'll morph into an embed! |

Ha Sparker…in the picture you posted…I see what looks like 7 battalions of Russians and Prussians and 2 French skirmishers. That appears to be somewhat unfair and the odds are stacked badly. You might want to put in a few more Russians and Prussians to make it fair. It would be a shame for those 2 Frenchmen to have to fight so few allies and not get any glory from kicking more butt then 7 battalions. |

Well they are Voltigeurs…. Seriously they are just there for decoration. BP handles urban combat very well. That town is split into 2 'blocks' each of which is occupied by a set garrison, I think the max is 1 Line Bn, 1 gun and 1 skirmish unit. Anyway these are represented nominally as they get a set amount to fire out of each face. These are just there to represent the blocks being occupied. |
