Saturday and Sunday I ran QB as a "proof of concept" for the maps/table top I will use for my June 1815 Megagame. link Pictures are from turns 1-9 (Saturday). We finished Sunday with an Allied Victory but Welly unit the field due to the arrival of d'Erlon. Table is a plastic table cloth, rivers, roads and towns are Duct Tape. I trace the image from a projection of the maps from Napoleon Returns. |

Quatre Bras is an interesting battle, fought at the eponymously named crossroads ("Quatre Bras" in French means "four arms" – in other words a crossroads). I like the way that reserves need to be fed into the battle as they arrive. QB is probably the classic encounter battle. The table looks a bit small for a Megagame though. |

From the garbled title I rather thought this was one for Armand and "Needs More Boobies"… |

Sorry, I was trying to remember the correct spelling  |

And regards the table, it is only 2 of the 12 sheets I need, it was the "look" I was testing. One requirement is that I need to transport it as easily as possible. The hills are all traced to show the actual size of the pieces used. |

very nice, very smart. Try darker sheets or maybe a wheat color?
Trace on the sheets your placement so others can help you set up. We did a game on carpet that we could put on floor with towns marked.
