Lovely game.
May I ask, a game this size,
how long did it take to play the game?

Thanks very much guys, we spent 3 1/2 hours playing all told, but stopped to chat a lot, I do mean a lot as well so maybe 3 hours gaming tops to get a convincing result.

Fantastic! Love the Guard Cuirassiers. I converted the same figures and French Dragoons for early line cavalry and Guard Horse Grenadiers.

I guess you have used 28mm figures. Do you think the rules could work in a smaller table (6x4) but using 15mm figures?

Nice game, by the way.

I am planning to use a 6x4 table with these rules for 1812 retreat from Moscow, I will be halving movement due to the snow and using small units so they dont take up lots of space so yes that will work I would simply use centimetres rather than inches for the 15mm and bob is your uncle!

I think that wont be a problem. What rules are you using?

Love that. Would also like to do some scenarios for Sharp Practice.

We use Black Powder for First Carlist War, I plan to us ebothe these and Sharp Practice for Retreat from Moscow, BP becuase it is so flexible and SP as it suits smaller skirmish games games.

Didn't decide yet. I would like to try Black Powder, but the table requirements made me wonder. I think that Roger's idea could work: just convert inches to centimeters.
