Previous large club projects: Borodino, Waterloo, Austerlitz . (I sense a theme) After some discussion at today’s game (Thanks for running the game Ed) we have decided to put together a club project and run an anniversary game of the Battle of Leipzig (1813). We already have all the OOB’s and maps. If you’re not familiar with the battle, its the largest battle of the Napoleonic Wars. The anniversary of the battle falls on the October 17-18 weekend. But we could move it up a week and run it over the Columbus Day weekend if enough of you guys can keep away from all the Columbus Day car sales. So…. Now we’re opening up the discussion to see what scale you guys would like to do it in. The obvious choices are 15mm or 6mm. Unless you have a gymnasium and want to do it in 25/28mm. Also, we’d like some opinions on the rules we should use. The size of the battle seems to call for a fairly low figure-per-unit count. And the units should probably represent something larger than a battalion or even a regiment. Once we pick a scale and a set of rules we’ll need to do an inventory of "who has what”. Pros & Cons: (You guys should add to this list or maybe someone can put together a Poll) 6mm Pro - The game will fit on my table. Terrain would be approximately 6’x9’. 6mm Con - This scale isn’t too popular with many in the club and many will not be interested in starting another scale in the period. 15mm Pro - The game will fit in my garage. Terrain would be about 12’x18’. 15mm Pro - I believe this is the group’s most common Napoleonic scale so filling in the gaps will be quicker. 15mm Con - We’d have to build a terrain table. I love doing this, others don’t. 25/28mm Pro - Visually appealing. 25/28mm Con - Cost 25/28mm Con - Size requirement for the game. …..discuss!

It appears that we all will be staying home for a while. So in the meantime you can all report on any gaming projects you’re working on while you’re locked in. Now that I have Snappy Nappy pretty well dialed in I can putter with other things. I just bought some Napoleonic Poles from Tom and will be rebasing them to match the rest of my Naps. And I have a bit of resin left so I’ll probably use it up casting some more scatter terrain pieces. Anyone else working on anything hobby related while you’re home? Bob
