Another great weekend, definitely the most intense battle I have ever played in. The sheer size of the forces involved was staggering,and resolving some of the combat rounds was a huge undertaking, for which I think all the players owe our 2 umpires a great deal of thanks, as without their goodwill ...

Really captures the battle Barry, particularly like the highlanders shot.

Hi Bill,

Whatever the cost hopefully the weekend games will be worth it, glad you enjoyed the battle, I thought it was a cracker.

Bob

Most chivalrous Dave, good to see that your objectives were clear from the start. I agree with you about the spirit of the game, its what these games are all about.Great to meet a new gamer who hopefully will become a regular at the weekenders, really enjoyed your company Bill, hope you got as much ...

Yup, another great battle and like virtually every one I have played with R2E it really ebbed and flowed with neither side able to take total control of the battle. Thanks as always to Barry(a most neutral French umpire), and DOB (a similarly unbiased allied one) and also to the folks at Mutineer fo...

Great job Bryce,been experimenting with head swaps myself and it seems you win some & you lose some, with a lot of hair pulling to boot.

Still a fantastic looking unit.


Bob

So did I Dave, until I went to book Friday off work, a pleasant surprise.

Bob

Hi Barry,


Will definitely be coming, leaving around 04.30 so should be there about 9am.

Looking forward to a great game, and meeting up with you guys.

See you Sunday.

Bob

Gunter,

Don't know if it still in print ,but Napoleons campaigns in miniature,by Bruce Quarrie is a good starting point for campaign rules.
They are very detailed regarding recruitment and supply,so this might be a good starting point.


Bob

Barry, I think that between your good self, Mr. O,Brien & Mr. Imrie there are more Russians than scotsmen in Scotland. Remember the "Auld Alliance", more French (not forgetting Poles, Bavarians, Wurttemburgers, Italians &Saxons), its like Eurovision! But yes all being well 10 battalions & a full bat...

Good lad Jim need to put those incense burners in their place - Siberia hopefully.

Dave, should have about 10 battalions and a full battery to bring up in February.
Hope to see you at Whitburn in a couple of weeks.

Bob

Just been looking at some orbats and noticed that Davouts 1st corps had approx 80 battalions, best get painting some of those then.

Vive L'Empereur

Thanks Barry,

I have just had my last session with the shrink, and now you've mentioned the cause of my mental instability again, may get over it before Borodino, just in time to renew aquaintances with those pesky priests.

Hi Barry, Still aiming on being on parade for Quatre Bras, but it is still dependant on how much snow comes down between now & then. Just been looking at long range forecast & doesn,t seem to bad, but it can change quickly. So if its alright with you i,ll be a definite maybe until next week when the...

Hi Barry

As gaming with you guys is all I get, will probably be up for this as well as Borodino.

What time is kick off and what time is estimated finish ?

Also as winter has come early this will affect whether I can get up so how much notice will you need?


Bob
