"Conrad offered to run a 54mm Napoleonic game here at the Burrow so on Saturday he arrived with his car stuffed to the gunwales with boxes of La Grande Armee and the army of the Czar. What appears on the table is but a small fraction of his collection; he has some 40-50 ‘French' infantry battalions alone, each of 24 figures. Where he puts them I do not know, and I've been to his house! As well as Conrad we had Richard, Neil and John the Red. Richard and I were the good guys, er the Russians, tasked with holding a series of low hills and delaying the French attack as long as possible. We were outnumbered in infantry but we had the edge in numbers and quality so far as the cavalry and artillery were concerned. We used Black Powder without any of my normal house rules, to keep it simple…"

There is nothing so visually impactful, in tabletop wargaming, like 54mm figures and terrain. Glorious! It is an amazing experience to game in this scale. The older I get, the more I appreciate this scale for gaming. When based, 54mm figures are quite stable, quite easy to handle on the tabletop. They are also pure joy. Ahem! You failed to mention the ginormous cat in the field of battle (last photo on the blog page). Was this a fantasy Journey to the Center of the Earth sort of 'historical' game?… LOL! Thanks for sharing! Cheers! |
