It's OTTWeekender time! Some big news this week as Firelock announced they are stepping into the Napoleonic period with a new wargame, Blood And Bayonets, coming in 2025! With the awesome rules and mechanics of Blood & Plunder behind this game and a smaller requirement for miniatures, could this end up being THE gateway game for Historical wargamers (or those curious) wanting to get into the Napoleonic period?

As well as being great for Historical wargamers, those fans of the "Hollywood" approach to wargaming the time period might find themselves drawn to it for playing out their games based on the likes of Sharpe, Hornblower and Master & Commander! The Peninsular Campaign is calling!
