"Ligny 16 June 1815 - a Black Powder batrep" Topic

On Saturday the Waterloo 200 project met for the first of two days of wargaming rehearsals for our Waterloo 200 event next year. Saturday saw our warm-up Ligny game…

Great looking set-up, Sparker, and nice report. Looking forward to the Waterloo report!

bravo guys! looking good!

Hello my good friend Sparker!

You and your mates are making me jealous. I can see the fruits of all your hard work starting to mature. Your presentation is world class and I sense everyone involved is having a great time. Your entire Waterloo 200 Project has been a joy to follow and I anxiously await to hear about the next installment.

We plan to do Ligny next year as well with two versions. One with d'Erlon arriving on the field and the other without. We may even play it more then twice as very often we play games again if their really good, which most of them are. We have played Ligny twice before and like most of our games they improve with each presentation. Different rules, better terrain and current research, etc.

Anyway please keep your projects coming.

Best regards,

Glenn

p.s. I actually have a 25mm 1815 Prussian army

Cool! I was wondering if anyone did a refight on the anniversary. Great looking minis!

Good stuff, lovely looking game.

Thanks guys, really appreciate the kind words!

I hope to blog about the Sunday game this evening…

Yes Ligny is definately susceptible to what-ifs around the involvement of the whole of D'Erlon's corps, as I suppose Quatre Bras is too for the same reason…

Hi Sparker,

Really splendid stuff and in 28mm too!!!

Congratulations!

Gotta go for 28mm every time and Calpe figures where available.

I do wish that Calpe did French Carabiniers as I don't do plastic so the Perry ones, although truly excellent, just won't do.

Cheers,

Paul
