Gents,
Finally, and I hope you will not be disappointed, I am near enough set to produce this on a battallion by battalion basis with the spin offs that can be generated including Balaclava, Inkerman, Tchernya, Sevastopal, and the numerous expeditions by the Turks and Allies.
Barry has looked at a modifications to "Republic to Empire" on this Scenario and we can look forward to using these. Given that most of you are familiar with RTE, I would like to "compere" whilst letting Barry loose on the table. I would not be able to "rule" on the technicalities of the rules, but will give final guidance to any arbitary dispute; and you will be subjected to event cards, on a turn by turn basis.
I am presently looking at the terrain and table size (it will be big), but let me reassure you, we do not need Brits, Turks, or Russians; and I will be in touch to establish what French we can muster. On a further note, the scenics are mostly taken care of, but certain items I will recquisition at a later date.
Gents, it will be a long large table with a wing, and your forces will be based on what was available (subject to my discretion of course) at the Alma.
Barry, I shall be in touch as to event cards, These shall not be necessarily produced as a one off, but rather on a pack of cards basis, which should ellaviate you of any input other than rules. You should be able to enjoy our games as a participant now and again
I have noted the very successful layout of our game in March (bloody good) and whilst this will be a much more linear game, I will hope to introduce sufficient historically accurate events and win criteria to make sure that we have an interesting game.
Please continue any info or discourse on this thread
Till then,
My warmest regards,
Bob
