Here is Professor Fratt's description of the event:
I will be offering a 6mm Ligny 1815, using my new "The Victory Is Ours!" rules. We will also have a day-long Jena/Auerstadt game. Lutzen, Dresden, Quatre Bras, Mockern, and Neumarkt will also be presented. Sharpe's Rifles – a skirmish game and a naval encounter are also on the list.
David Enstenes will run a demo for Et Sans Result. The guys from Milwaukee are bringing their 5mm blocks and their gorgeous 18mm and 28mm painted flats. They will also have on display 90mm cardboard flats from Walkerloo.
