Peter is starting to post the After Action Reports from SnapCon V Campaign in a Day -- Peninsula 1809 held at The Portal in Manchester, CT, with 16 gamers across 16 tables. This is on his blog Blunders On The Danube. Part 1 is more 'Pre Action Report' because it covers the 16 tables, OOBs, Briefing, and so on. Part 1 Part 2 is a photo-intensive overview of the beginning of the campaign as maneuvering transitions into skirmishes and into then into battles. Part 2 Finally, you can go to the main page of the blog and click on the link Campaigns in a Day w/ Snappy Nappy to get an index of all the previous Campaigns in a Day, with OOBs, Table layouts, etc, including SN's Quick Reference Sheets. Blog Home Page I see the May 13 entry has Part 3! More photos! |

Looks like plenty of naval support. |

Looks like a good time was had by all! |

If only they'd change the name of these rules. It has unfortunate connotations this side of the pond … |

Hi Peter, Your wonderful blog posts on these Campaigns in a Day have really pushed me over the edge! Can't wait to try them out here in Charlotte. Eric |

I enjoy reading these campaigns in a day posts from him. Peter caused me to pick up a copy of the rules a few years ago. I based my 6mm Naps for them. I am also going to try Sappy Nappy which is the 1859, 1866 and 1870 variant for Snappy Nappy. Nicely done Peter!  Thanks, John |

Glad you all enjoyed them. There should be player reports up in the next few days as well. I will be running a significantly altered version of this event at Historicon this year on Thursday, 10 AM – 5 PM. Peter |

If only they'd change the name of these rules. It has unfortunate connotations this side of the pond … It's payback for every ruleset Two Fat Lardies ever released. |

I love reading these detailed game reports of your mega, multi-table games. Your website inspired our club to put something like this together and we will be running a Snappy Nappy "campaign in a day" event this summer set in northern Italy. Such a cool, ambitious gaming idea you guys had with this. |

+1 to The Beast! If you need any help with information or tips on running the event, let me know (or post to the Snappy Nappy Yahoo group) Peter |

Another +1 for The Beast. |

Just ordered a copy of Snappy Nappy. Interested about the scaling of the game generally and for this campaign. I notice that the Orders of Battle say that "1 Infantry unit = 1300 men, 1 Cavalry unit = 300 men, 1 Artillery unit = 16 guns)" That seems different than what I've read in the reviews on SB. Is there some freedom in assigning scale to the rules system? |

Yes, it doesn't effect things tangibly if you scale the representation up or somewhat (say up to 4000 men or down to 1000 men per infantry stand) |
| Major Bloodnok | 18 May 2018 1:58 a.m. PST |
You could just as easily say that an infantry stand is 250 men, so that a two stand infantry unit represents a bn. rather than 4,000 men as in the rules. Of course the ground scale just shrsnk from 1" being 150yds to around 20yds. |
