I shudder to think of the prices these items command now days.

For the record, we only had 4 players, myself, James the host and his son and one other player. I think keeping the gatherings smallish in private venues more comfortable at the moment.

I think he has about 20-plus infantry battalions each (big 32-man battalions), and also an impressive amount of cavalry and artillery. I think he said he has enough to fill a 20-plus foot table - which he's done a few times in the past. He loves the 1809 Campaign. As for Black Powder, this game saw a lot of devastation from traversing fire (cannon and infantry) when cavalry forgot about them when moving.

I have only ever played a couple of games of BP - we found it has a tendency to deliver some odd results occasionally, if you rolled really well or really badly EG in one game the cavalry got a triple move in the first or second turn and were able to charge the full breadth of the table and cause such damage to the advancing enemy that the game was m ore or less over in twenty minutes - not really what you are looking for on a Friday evening after a long, hard working week!rrosshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07316317334203888350noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1561181956134839079.post-37027880208542121852021-10-02T08:22:12.055-07:002021-10-02T08:22:12.055-07:00Great game Dean.
