It's Derby World Wargame show in less than three weeks. It starts on 1st October and so did the Battle of Lobositz.

The Ilkley Lads will, in consequence, combine the two by putting on a demo of Lobositz at the show.

I've just finalised the set up and OOB for the battle and The Lads will run through the game over the next couple of weeks to iron out any bugs in the scenario.

I'm going to do a series of posts on that effort so that those unable to go to Castle Donnington (but would like to) will not miss out completely. It might also generate a few comments and questions from those who do and drop by.

Anyway, the link to the first post and a couple of shots of the game.

I hope you like it.

"When dates collide.." you get a sticky mess… but cannot wait to see your blog and reports – superb veering on the incredible collection, far too good a painter (I suspect witchcraft – it was never stamped out in Yorkshire) – far too fast a painter (same comment as above but witch on souped-up broomstick) – it is going to be great… drool drool..

.."This Battle is coming to you thanks to IKEA…" – they are great cabinets.. I now have this mental image of Fred wearing an IKEA T-shirt over his coat…(he would have appreciated the prices…!!!!)

Nice map and table. I'm curious as to your rationale for "bathtubbing" down the infantry at 1:2, but leaving the cavalry at 1:1?
