Waterloo anniversary

[dhtandco]

Is anyone planning to do anything special for the 200th anniversary of the battle ?

[Marshal Grouchy]

In responce to your plee.Yes is the answer.
I Marshal GROUCHY will be refighting the whole battle over 2 tables
using Republic to Empire rules[25-28mm] with approx 2000 figures.
However since 2015 is some years away I have not yet advertised for
players.Nor have I COSTED THIS major event.
No player need bring any figures. However food and accomodation
will have to be sourced locally.
I estimate a 3 day affair,arrival on friday evening for breifings[for
French,Prussian,and ALLied players].Game played sat/sun to a result.
Maximum number=6 players.
Location;Spilsby,Lincs.

Marshal Grouchy from the depths of Lincolnshire[where the Magna carta resides for our american guests].
The Waterloo game is planned to follow 2 preliminary battles;QUATRE BRAS and LlGNY.These have to be fought first to determine what forces are capable of fighting at Waterloo.
Imagine if the P russians had destroyed Milhauds Cuirass at Ligny?
As Napoleon how would you reorganise your remaining forces/AS WELL AS chasing the Prussians to Wavre with 30000+100guns.
What if Marshal NEY can take the crossroads at QB?
How long could he hold them before the British guards arrive from
Nivelles? These are just some of the dilemas to be decided.
Interested parties please respond.
