The first couple of After Action Reports for the Snappy Nappy 1814 Campaign in a Day are up on Peter's BlundersontheDanube blog. Includes maps and commentary. More AARs coming. This game, held at The Portal [game store] on Hilliard St in Manchester CT, had 20 players marching between 14 tables. Quite the hectic action as gamers battled from table to table!

Quite, quite splendid. Must have been a lot of fun and the players are fortunate to have the organisers of these games . |

Peter is thinking of doing 1809 Bavaria Campaign for the 2020 SnapCon and possibly may take it to Historicon like he did with his Spanish Peninsula Campaign in 2018 and 2018 Historicon. |

The final AAR for the Snappy Nappy 1814 Campaign in a Day is now up on Peter's BlundersontheDanube blog. This one is the Umpire's AAR by me. It includes the umpire's recap of the campaign, all the table layouts, some insight into prep work and umpiring a campaign, and a full list of all player-to-player messages, including times, that show mindset, locations, and other thoughts from commanders. Umpire's AAR for Snappy Nappy 1814 Campaign in a Day Shortly, expected in a day or two, a PDF of the Umpire's AAR will appear in Alan's Snappy Nappy Yahoo Group.

That is indeed the plan; Danube 1809 for both the local event in Connecticut in the Spring, and Historicon in July. |

(Both of which had to be cancelled due to the Covid-19 pandemic). Hopefully irt will be possible to run it at Historicon 2021, and we'll see about a date for a Connecticut run. Hard to plan anything much in advance now that involves a large number of players |

I am uncertain if this info was posted anywhere, I am looking at the Snappy Nappy 1814 campaign trying to find the OOB used. I would be grateful if that were shared. I am in the process of reworking an 1814 campaign map for Snappy Nappy. |

Russ sent the individual players (19!) their force rosters, but I don't believe there was ever a complete OOB published. Thus I could tell you the forces for my commands (Uvarov and Gyulai), but not anyone else's. In order to make the game balance halfqway reasonable, Russ assumed a much better result from the conscription for 1824 than actually occurred. |

I sent him the OOBs, so he's good. And yes, although the historical French were outnumbered about 3:1, that would make for a lopsided game, so I considered the historical record a bit and did indeed fill the ranks of France with a better than historical conscription that lowered the Allied advantage to 1.3 to 1. That made for an exciting day of gaming! |
