I have combed the web and annals of TMP in search of ideas for running the battle/siege of Hougoumont as a single set piece event. There's a lot out there in bits and pieces but nothing cohesive. I would like to know what folks have done or if there has been anything published that anyone can recall that recreates the battle for Hougoumont. Thanks in advance! |

I don't know of any existing scenarios off hand, but hopefully someone here can point you in that direction. For starters you might try this: link Whenever possible, I like to search out primary documents and maps when designing scenarios. There is no end of good information out there, but you may have to dig! Good luck with your project. |

This game was put on by the Loughton Strike Force a few years back, using the "General de Brigade" rules (one of the scenario books has it, I think). link Here's the LSF web page:- loughtonstrikeforce.co.uk A book you might find useful (although having seen the price, you may want to go via the local library inter-loan!!!):- link |
