Afternoon all, You may remember my post from earlier on in the year "what does a wargamer do with £1.00 GBP of matchsticks?" Well, today I refought Austerlitz using the DBN rules and about 25p worth of the matchsticks, and I have to say it was really good fun and opens up a lot of possibilities – you can find out more, as well as who won the battle by clicking the link to my blog below link I think that this is a really cost effective way of fighting those large battles that otherwise you wouldn't get the opportunity to refight, unless you were very lucky. As always, comments, suggestions and feedback welcome Kind Regards J |

Your game looked very cool, something I would definitely play. That being said, me personally, I still prefer figures. |

Nicely done. It looked way better than I expected. Happy New Year! |

It definitely gives more of an army look than just colored plastic dominoes, which is what I have been doing. Thanks. |

You have proven that wargaming can be very cheap! |

The band Status Quo would be very proud of you. Great job on them! |

Yes, because he's posted pictures of matchstick men. |

Nothing new. Wargamers (including me) have been making armies from matchsticks since the 70s. I still have some packed away somewhere… |

Superb! This is not a criticism, but did you consider using green pillowcases? Also, can I ask how many "units" are involved? |

Very close to a boardgame. |
