What better day than the anniversary of Waterloo to announce the publication of the long-awaited and eagerly anticipated "Napoleon's Bloody Big Battles!" scenario book for the "Bloody Big BATTLES!" rules!

And already NBBB has its first full review (a nice enthusiastic one, I’m happy to say) from Manteuffel on his “Wargaming from the Balcony” blog.

Got  my copy in the mail yesterday, very nice. I'll have to get Aspern-Essling on the table sometime soon, since the terrain is easy. The Beresina looks quite interesting, quite different than usual. Our crew has played Bailen and Dettingen, drawn to those armies trying to escape.

Any chance of an introductory video on YouTube on how the game works?  Just to get a sense of things.

Sorry, vole, I can't point you to an intro video. Best I can do is this link to a page that lists all the collected reviews:
https://bloodybigbattles.blogspot.com/2016/10/collected-reviews-of-bbb-bloody-big.html

I particularly recommend Vincent's review (that's vtsaogames who replied just before you - thanks, Vincent!) which is reproduced here:
https://bloodybigbattles.blogspot.com/2015/03/deep-fried-happy-mice-another-review-of.html
It explains the mechanics as well as their implications for how the game plays.

Hope this helps.
