Some games are built from the ground up to be for the kitchen table, but if your at Historicon this is your training ground before the game gets taken to epic proportions.

I can confirm that you´re right. To get the z right you could pronounce it something like “tsig”. Verdorrinoeins.

Waterloo gets a lot of attention because Napoleon escaped exile from Elba, returns to France and raises an army in no time – it really is a script to a Hollywood movie! It was also the first time Wellington and Napoleon meet on the battlefield – this was the original Rumble in the Jungle – heavyweight champ against former champ! Plus the Austrian and Russian propaganda machines never kicked in as well as the British one did – hell, they even got a Swedish band to sing about it over a 150 years later! Looking forward to seeing this tomorrow,… Read more »

The idea of a rules primer game as part of the build up for the full game is really smart, gives the players time to assimilate the rules so they can really get into the main game without being distracted by too many rules questions.

Those minis are so small, yet you can easily recognize, what they depict. Congratulations to the painter.

I have to say that when @warzan, (a while back), was waxing on about ‘Napoleon Wargaming’ I did find myself saying, “You know Dennis, (I speak to myself often as I don’t have a lot of friends close by for quick chats), you should do some Napoleon gaming before all is said and done”. But then I checked into the amount of figures, (to do the grand scale battles), and the costs and decided that I should put that off for a good while. But now this ‘game in a box’ has my attention. ‘Le Petite Armee’ is really not… Read more »
