Re: SYW campaign

Perhaps I'm not making myself clear - understandable as I'm not entirely clear myself about what I want. The battles should be linked by a narrative. For example, Battle #1 represents the Prussians seeking to advance into Saxony against Austrian & Saxon opposition. If the Prussians win that batt...

Re: SYW campaign

Thanks, Neil. I appreciate your advice. This is something along the lines of what I was thinking, albeit a bit more complex. I don't think I'm there yet. Battles will be the centre of my mini-campaign - 3, to be precise, from a possible 9. No maps.No supply depots. No points. KISSS (Keeping it super...

SYW campaign

They tell me that campaigns are the height of wargaming. I've never participated in one. I've been thinking - always dangerous - I'll try to run a short, SYW campaign for 2 of my pals & me. I want to participate not umpire but awkward number, 3,so there you go. My proposal is to fight three, lin...

Re: Von Imhoff Brunswick infantry regiment

Is it possible, Will, you could take a photo of ALL your S-S figures? It would be an impressive sight.

Re: Annual Show game - a problem

Thanks for all the interest. The really aren't many/any armchair experts attending. We are the only wargame there &, still, a curiosity. The Train show attracts a near total majority of parents seeking to distract their children & train enthusiasts. None have even heard of historical, miniat...

Annual Show game - a problem

We've staged a two day game at our local Train Show for 15? years. This year, without telling us, they moved the date & 2 of our number will be OS at the time of the Show. Apart from missing their company, they were providing about 25% of the figures for the ECW clash. So - ECW is postponed. Wha...
