The Battle of Gravelotte/Saint-Privat set during the Franco Prussian War.
Last Saturday my friend Dave Marks put on one of his big games at his place. This was a truly huge game with seventeen of us including umpires playing over three large tables with thousands of 28mm figures. I will not say anymore about the game as it is going to be coming up in a future article of Wargames Illustrated but here is a couple of shots that I took of the day.
The last picture above is one of Joe Dever's of a group shot of all of us outside Dave's place.
Sorry for the lack of feedback lately on some of your blogs out there but I have not had enough hours in the day lately.
Cheers,
Pat.

ReplyDeleteCracking game Pat, what rules were you guys using? I will soon be putting up a description of a 15mm FPW game fought last weekend on my blog The Northumbrian Wargamer.

DeleteDave, the rules we used were Blackpowder with some amendments which I am sure will be covered in the WI article.

Pat.
