Title: Marengo BBB redux AAR
Post by: vtsaogames on October 06, 2017, 05:53:42 PM

We finally managed to get the second play test of this scenario done. Many are the little tin widows and orphans!

A very effective looking game - is the map custom drawn for the battle, or is the terrain flat items on top? I can't quite tell from the photos.

The annotated photos are a great way of doing a battle report.

Do you have amendments  to BBB to play this earlier period?

The map is custom drawn and painted with some terrain on top. The only period adjustment I use for Napoleonic is that officer casualties are not replaced, and house rules determine their fate after the game.

Cool, it is very striking and effective.
