Napoleon and the struggle for Germany, Spring 1813:
A Snappy Nappy Campaign-in-a-Day Event
Where: The Portal, Manchester, CT When: Saturday, October 5, 2024 10 AM – 5 PM
Rules: Snappy Nappy, by Russ Lockwood GM: Mike Seibert

After the devastating retreat from Moscow during the winter of 1812 – 1813, there was little left of the 500,00 men who invaded Russia less than a year earlier. However, Napoleon has raised new armies, and along with his increasingly shaky allies of the Confederation of the Rhine, seeks to re-establish his dominance over Europe. The battered Russians and their new Prussian allies aim to thwart his plans. If they do well, perhaps they can draw Austria into the Coalition, too!
SnappyCon's Tenth (10!!) campaign-in-a-day event will use over a thousand 28 mm miniatures to maneuver across a 100-mile wide campaign map, simulated using fifteen 4'x6' tables. Players maneuver their figures from table to table to engage, out-flank and combat their opponents!
Each player commands roughly half to a full Corps of troops, with 8 French Commands plus Napoleon as C-in-C, and 3 Prussian and 5 Russian Commands, plus Kutuzov as C-in-C (with two Coalition Monarchs for moral support.)
This event is free, but to support our host, The Portal, we encourage you to make some gaming purchases while you attend.
If interested in playing, register for the event and let us know with preference for side if any, (French or Prussian/Russian Coalition)… especially any players interested in being the C-in-C (Kutuzov or Napoleon).
Further information and pre-event planning will be provided via email by the GMs. All registration should be sent to Peter Anderson at Gonsalvo@aol.com
