Last weekend fifteen budding GdeB players swarmed into Basingstoke to replay Ligny courtesy of Mark Freeth at the Wargames Holiday Centre. [URL=http://s204.photobucket.com/user/dcrbrown/media/9.%20The%20battle%20in%20full%20swing._zpsxjnusxsy.jpg.html]

What table size was that played on? Looks like there was a lot of space |

Hi Marc, Believe that there 2 tables which were 36 foot x 6 foot and one 36 foot by 3 foot. I've gotta build an extension! Interestingly, there were battles going-on in at least 3 locations at once. Great game to play! Cheers, Paul |

2 x 28'x 6' and 1 28'x 3', but hey, who's counting? Glad to see some Prussians I theoretically own were being used. )) |
