Battle of Bergbosen - some pics of our last club game
« on: August 10, 2011, 05:10:21 PM »
Last weekend we had a very large room and staged a big napoleonic battle. The game was based on a fictional scenario forcing the french to build a pontoon bridge over a river and simultaneously attacking a superior combined prussian-russian force. We were 9 gamers having a great weekend and lots of fun!

Well done!!

Beautiful figures and scenery, very jealous. It's not everyone who can make Naps enticing for me.

No, as far as I know it's by Grand Manner.

Amazing terrain and miniatures! How many figures were involved?

Around 1.000 miniatures.

What rules do you use?

Black Powder; they worked for our Thirty Years War games, and they work very nicely for our napoleonic ones.

Were the rules BP or something else and is it possible to post a picture of the whole table please 

Well, the table measured 7,00 x 1,50 m, I havn't seen any useful pics of the whole table. It's very difficult to photograph something like this, and even then you wouldn't recognise much.

Besides, we had more tables in the off-board zones for preparing all the troops before deploying ...  :D
