Having a slew of 6mm winging their way to me from a Bartertown ad, I am looking at rules (leaning towards Bloody Big Battles or Volley and Bayonet) and need some scenario info to start building my forces around. Is there not a Crimean War scenario booklet in print or an online source for scenarios? Thanks!

Bloody Big Battles, which you think of using, already covers 4 major, and 1 minor battle of the war (Kuruder, Alma, Inkerman, Chernya, Balaklava). If you are looking for smaller engagements you could use the scenarios in BBB to create smaller scenarios focusing on specific parts of the bigger battles.

As far as the BBB Crimean War scenarios are concerned, there is a doc in the BBB Yahoo group files that lists all the troops you need for each of the battles except Balaclava: "BBEB scenario size and bases required". Chris Bloody Big BATTLES! link bloodybigbattles.blogspot.co.uk

I just rejoined the Yahoo group today, so I will look for the info there. Thanks all!

You can always find scenario data from board games on various battles.

True, Rudy…but then that means buying board games! :) The file Chris has on the Yahoo group is perfect. I will just have to pull out my rules and wait to see what goodies I actually have when they arrive!
