I saw those dragoons in pink facings and thought, those look like Mateus' dragoons! Which of course they were.
Nice to see some of your beautifully painted 1/72 in action.

Thanks, Bill!

A game was long overdue! I've been painting a lot and playing too little this year.

Two questions for Mateus:

Saltankovka was fought between to major woods. When I put it on I had to ask for help for someone when I ran out putting out 600 trees. You seem to have managed with about 20. How did you do this? Is this a 28mm thing or a Black Powder thing?

Checking the OoB for Salkankovka ,Davout didn't command the Young Guard. Where did these troops come from?

Inquiring minds would like to know.

138SquadronRaf, we did quite a few compromises in terrain and units on this game, mostly because we didn't have all the exact historical units – nor the amount of trees required to recreate an accurate table.

This was to be a relatively fictional recreation of the battle. :-P
