The Defense of Hougoumont: 18 June 1815
« on: May 22, 2019, 04:07:56 PM »


Hi folks,

Capt Ron will be running a 15mm Naps game this weekend. A very small portion of the Battle of Waterloo, the French attack on Hougoumont! The rules will be General de Brigade. The custom table is set, the first two divisions of French troops are laid out awaiting dice, the only thing lacking is YOU!




Attendees thus far:
Capt Ron
Bill
Steve K
JJ and son
Victor

Jennifer
Jim

Come join SMG: The South Fla Miniatures Gamers:
May 25, 2019, 1000 hrs: Das Kreig Haus in sunny Fort Lauderdale, South Florida.

Looks great! I am perplexed by the helicopter landing spot in the garden though... ;)

Thanks, and yes, so were we. He said it was just his take on the Garden complex. I guess we can use this terrain for a modern game as well....

In 2012 I got to tour Waterloo, a dream come true.  (Residents of Brussels need not respond ...  8) )

Great looking game game! One thing I was left with was how small the actual battlefield was. It’s TIGHT. Literally a knife-fight compared to other Napoleonic battlefields.
