What are you playing?

Post by valleyboy »

Over the past few weeks I've bee playing a large solo game based on Dave Brown's scenario in his The Hundred days scenario book published by Reisswitz by the Too Fat Lardies.
As is usual with megalomania, I expanded the scenario somewhat and added a few bits with not too much additional thought having the ability to take full liberty as this was a solo game using Dave's superb General d"Armee rules. I think I started it during lockdown here in NZ starting the game in the first week of May. I left it to one side after playing a few turns to finish painting some AB Russian infantry and cavalry before picking it up and eventually finishing it last week. I've written it up, here's part 1 with part 2 having bee written but in need of photographs being added.
