With Pyjamas through a whiff of grapeshot! Sunday, 22 March 2015. Dutch Courage" - Napoleonic Dutch Belgians and Nassau for the Hundred Days Campaign 1815. Dutch Belgian cavalry survey the field. With the upcoming Waterloo Bicentenary commemorations planned at the Napoleonic Wargaming Society in a few months, I thought it was an opportune time to whet the appetite and post some pictures of my Napoleonics that are preparing to be dusted off. Nassau advance through the fields. Up that hill and at 'em lads!

With Pyjamas through a whiff of grapeshot! Saturday, 26 October 2013. Eumenes battles Ptolemy upon the desert ruins of Egypt. Something slightly different for this post - an old Successors "Clash of Empires" campaign played over two days at the club some time ago. Probably more "with pyjamas through a cloud of arrows and the occasional pointy sarissa up the backside" than grapeshot! Persians look to gold and glory for the new King of Asia. Persian cavalry advance towards Ptolemy. Two factions were decide...

With Pyjamas through a whiff of grapeshot! Sunday, 26 July 2015. The Choices of Command" - Napoleonic Vignette. The vigntte/command stand put together for our Waterloo Day. One of the great things about the web is the ability to seek out the images and ideas of many very clever wargamers and modellers around the globe. What I have increasingly noticed is the wonderful use of what one would traditionally call "vignettes" in games to help add some style and character to tables. Taking advantage of the wond...

We do very much enjoy playing RFF for our American Civil War games. The rules are very well written, superbly put together with the highest of production values and they are also incredibly well supported by the authors in terms of queries and questions. Steve and Phil start the table "build". Can never have enough fences when ga...

So what were we setting out to do.
