Over the three days of 17th, 18th and 19th of June our club rolled out our Waterloo game again. Played in 28mm using the Shako II ruleset with some house and scenario tweaks.

I had command of Alten's 3rd Allied Division plus a few independent units, to hold La Haye Sainte and the allied centre right.

Over the course of the weekend I had some appalling dice and when I did roll well my opponent invariably rolled just enough to beat me. Still my division did hang around long enough to help the allies secure a very narrow victory.

Overall a great but sometimes frustrating weekends gaming.

More about the game on my blog at Jabba's Wargaming

Thanks
Tony.

Looks like traffic control was a b****.

That is really nice. I wonder how much more of the battle could have been done in 15mm?

Great looking game!

Thanks

Thats a pretty clever setup for the battle. Impressive images!

Thank you all for your comments. Yes "traffic control" was amusing at time, especially as every historical unit was represented on the table.

Naw.

I will bet the Duke of Cumberland's Hussars were not there.

Not unreasonably mind you!

@deadhead actually they were, I had them in my command. Were around till quite late, until I tried to get them to charge some currasiers.

Sure enough, now I can see them in picture 18/30 on your blog. Terrific photography BTW
