Borodino Terrain Boards
The Tin Dictator <TinDictator@...>
Saturday's playtest game went pretty well. Lots of good input. Next and final playtest game will be on the 25th. I hope to have everyone's figures tagged and on hand by then.
The BIG GAME is the following weekend, Sept 1st - 3rd. I'd like to finish up the terrain boards next weekend.
I'm thinking we could do that next Sunday ?? As far as I can tell we just need to finish making trees and create the cloths to cover the board seams. Shouldn't take very long.
Any helpers ? Bob

Informational - HMGS PSW Miniwars Con & USS Iowa visit October 2012
Hi,
There is a HMGS convention held in the LA area twice a year called Miniwars, which is of course largely (but not entirely) historical miniatures. The next event will be at a Guard Armory on the east side of LA in the city of Azusa on Oct. 20th. In addition to the convention, a special tour has been arranged of the battleship USS Iowa, which was recently moved to Long Beach. Here is an email from Harmon Ward, the V-Pres of HMGS PSW: _____________________________________________________________________ "USS Iowa visit with the HMGS-PSW Fri Aug 10, 2012 1:38 pm (PDT) . Posted by: "hjw@pacbell.net" hjw@pacbell.net As part of our Mini-Wars October Surprize HMGS convention we are planning a trip to the USS Iowa. This will be on Friday, October 19th before the convention and a number of our out of state members are planning on attending. We ae still working out the timing but this will be a great way to make a one day event into a two day extravaganza. We are planning on meeting the out of state members at the Iowa, touring the ship. That should take about 15 minutes. I have seen lots of tabletop versions of the ship and it doesn't look that big. Anyway, after that we will sit down for dinner down by the docks and wait for traffic to die down a bit. Then it will be out to Azusa and getting a good nights rest before Mini-Wars. We are trying to schedule a tabletop battleship wargame for that Friday onboard but we are not sure yet if that will be possible. http://www.hmgspsw.org/ The Iowa currently only has one tour available. They plan on eventually opening up four tours, so we will be returning from time to time to see what else there is to see. http://www.pacificbattleship.com/"; ______________________________________________________________________ The Azusa location is a large hall and AFAIK they are looking for games. Unfortunately I have to attend a work related conference that weekend. JC

mark From: "The Tin Dictator" <TinDictator@...> Mark,
Here is my "official" IV Corps OOB. You SEEM to be correct. But far be it from me to admit it !!
The game unit tag has the 3 cav units brigaded together so that the one "Guard Cavalry" unit has 6 squadrons instead of having three units with 2 squadrons each.
The highlighted units are the ones I'm hoping someone (you) can cover. I have the rest done.

Cleaning out some misc figures
The Tin Dictator <TinDictator@...>
I came across some miscellaneous 15mm Napoleonic figures in my dead-lead pile that I will never paint. I think I've had them since the mid 80's. Some Swedes, Brits, and a few other minor nation's figures. A mix of manufacturers.
30-40 figures approximately. I'll have them out on Saturday for whoever wants some or all of them. Free to a good home. Bob

Attached are the unit tags. Some appear to be different than what I said earlier. It looks like the actual tags DO have the honor guard. Also, they have given the Queens Dragoons more squadrons.

More figs
I have put in an order for Croats (16 figures) together with some Saxons and some Italians from the UK - painted figs. Hopefully they will be here by 8/11 in which case I will bring them along on the day.

Re: Borodino Cannons
THE TIN DICTATOR <TinDictator@...>
I assume that by “regular” you mean with a single trail like the Brits used? Try to do up the Grib ones first. But, At this point I suppose it doesn’t really matter. They are just markers and everyone will know what they mean.

Hello Gents!
Just a quick question on the abandoned cannons needed for the game. I have regular cannons and Gribeauval pattern guns, do we need both?

Mark - Cossacks
David <david.rodgers@...>
Mark,
I have 2 different stands that should work for you. I will bring them both to the game on the 11th. Again, They are already based and flocked and sealed. Bob, I will bring the rest of my Russians on the 11th. I will already have tags on them. Then we can work your troops into the mix to fill in my holes. Mostly leaders, Don Cossacks and a few infantry bases. We should be ready to go. Would the Red/Orange troops I brought over pass as Croats? John and Larry, I have ordered enough Hussars to cover our needs so we should be all set for Russians. Now, if any of them look like Italians.......
