We just finished a Republic to Empire Peninsular Weekender with a twist...
For the first 3 hours of Day1 we played starter scenarios using The March of Eagles including the new draft cavalry rules.
The scenarios:
1. Take the high ground (Featuring a brigade of 'Green' Neapolitans facing a brigade of 'Green' Spaniards.
2. Capture the Arsenal (Featuring a brigade of 'Veteran French' against a mixed brigade of Portuguese
3. Running the Gauntlet (Featuring a very rag tag French column trying to get from one diagonal corner of a 6 feet wide table to the other whilst being hampered by cavalry, guerillas, Royal Marines, Riflemen and Spanish recruits)
We also used the 'card system' which I have developed as a universal addition to any rule set. That seemed to go down well.
STRAW EXIT POLL SEEMED TO INDICATE THE COMBO OF THE 2 TYPES OF GAME WAS A HIT. SO IT IS LIKELY TO FEATURE IN FUTURE R2E WEEKENDERS ORGANIZED BY ME.
