Neve played a really big game though I'd love to.

My budget lends itself to relatively small scale stuff - plus I'm constrained with space.

But I'd love to do one of those massive Napoleonic games you used to see described in the wargames magazines....or do a weekend WW2 mega-game.

Actually got to play a game of Napoleonics at James Roachs house (aka Olicanalad) last night.

Not sure how many units were on the table but I reckon close to 1500 figures so qualifies as a big gush game in my book.

We used a modified version of classic Piquet designed to play big games quickly.

The French attack in the centre and capture the key village. But can they push on to victory. More next week.

That looks great and would have been a real pleasure to see his figures I think
