Barry,

You reckoned that you had about twenty people. You realise that at RtE scale that's an under strength battalion.

Jim

Jim... we are ALL looking forward to your jokes! (even people who haven't met you yet!)

I hope you got my PM Barry that despite the added attraction of a star Comedian that I will not be coming over

Something's cropped up here and so we can't travel so will hope to catch up with you at Salute

Didn't get that Valleyboy but no sweat. Hope to see you at SALUTE.

Barry,

OK then, if you do a second edition of RtE for Star Wars fans would it be called R2E2?

Jim

Jim,

It's not just your jokes that we all remember you for it's that bloody TOWER that you throw your dice in and the usual 1's that it produce's so I hope your bringing that with you in October.
Oh and by the way my "Horse Flesh" are looking forward to meeting you again after eating their relation's.

Tally Ho!!!

Best Wishes........Ray.

R2E2...

OK Folks,

finally I have some information on the shape of the scenario for our big weekender coming up:

Battle date: 15th June 1815
Location: North of the Sambre River.
We will use two seperate tables. On the first elements of Wellington's Army with engage with elements of I & II Corps of the Armee du Nord (D'Erlon & Reille). On the second table elements of Ziethen's Prussian I Corps will engage with elements of III & IV Corps(Vandamme & Gerard) of the Armee du Nord.

Objectives... you'll just have to wait and see!

Sides have already been chosen:Bob, Jim, Matthew, Robbie, Alan, Hugh & Bill are French.
Ray, Paul, Peter, Neil, Tom and Mr Reidy (sorry I missed your first name on the booking! ) are the Allies/ Prussians.
Dave, David, Ade and myself will play but in subordinate roles. We are just waiting on one or two final confirmations to see if the numbers go up.

Some of you will be commanding your own figures by request (Ray!) For everyone else all you need are you dice, a tape measure and the rules.

More info nearer the time but really looking forward to it.. Any questions just shout!

Hi Barry,

Interesting post, so not the Waterloo scenario I and I'm sure some others were expecting with the addition of Bulow's IV Prussian corp's.
I suppose that would be too easy and some thinking and planning needed now.
I wonder what the table terrain and what the objectives will be?
Will it be a encounter game or still a allied defence, french attack.
Has anyone on our side got a preference for the Prussian's???

Regards........Ray.

Always like to keep you guessing Ray!

Did you not suggest having Ray do a frontal charge against the French Grand Battery/

Cheers
Dave

We want the game to get past Turn 2 Dave

It would cetainly give Ray something to think about

Dave

Thanks Chap's

I'm just glad I'm not up against your Russian batteries Dave, I wouldn't fancy a refight of the charge of the light brigade.
Six regiments of British Light cavalry charge in and only one figure trots out.

Ray.

Barry,
Cant make the Saturday, is there any chance of getting stuck in as reinforcements for the allied sector on Sunday morning? I could even provide several battalions of Dutch/Belgians/Nassau/Brunswick if required.
