If anyone's interested, I'll be running two games in Pembrokeshire over the coming week. The first will be a single-day (truncated scenario) public display game at Narberth Museum on the anniversary day – Thursday 18th June: narberthmuseum.co.uk The second game will be a 'full-fat' scenario played over two days (Saturday 20th & Sunday 21st) at the Wargames Association of South Pembrokeshire in Pembroke Dock. All are welcome – more the merrier (except Supercilius Maximus, obviously – my standards might be low, but they're not that low…)! Rules to be used are Avalon Hill's 'Napoleon's Battles' (1st Ed with some mods), where a unit represents a brigade. Don't worry if you've never played them. There's a thread showing the more recently-painted bits of the game here: TMP link |

The game is taking shape at Narberth Museum. It still needs trees and a fair bit of tidying up, but it's looking good so far (sorry for the poor photos – taken on my phone in low light):
The 'Official' Battle of Waterloo 200th Anniversary Game kicks off tomorrow (Thursday 18th June) at 10am and finishes at 5pm. Come and have a look if you're anywhere west of The Bridge. The 'Unofficial' game takes place at the weekend and will be fought over two days. |

Hope it all went well and all had fun. |

It did indeed! We even got invited onto the One Show, but I had to turn Alex Jones down (again…) Now sorting through 200+ photos from the two games… |

This certainly deserves a 'wow'! |

I like your hills and fields, what material did you use to make them? Can you get it in green, similar to the rest of the table? |

Table looks fabulous. Hanging out for the AAR with photos. |

Cheers chaps! The report is up: TMP link Also on our blog here: link The cornfields are teddy bear fur – I simply bought it from the local fabric & wool shop for £7.50 GBP per metre. I used two metres of fabric for what you can see (should have bought 3 or 4 metres). Yes, you can get it in green and I did want some green fur for hayfields and unripe corn, though they didn't have it in stock and I left it too late. I could have got dark brown, black, white, yellow, purple or pink, however… |
