[WANTED] "Clash of Eagles" Black Powder supplement
If anyone has one they no longer want, I'm interested - would rather the money went to one of us.

There's a couple on Ebay in the £10-20 mark that might be of interest?

I did try eBay, but could only get US sellers who wanted about twice the cost of a new one, plus at least as much again to post it across The Pond. Could I trouble you for a link, perchance?

Belay that last order! I think I may have found the £10 one; there's another for £22 + P&P, which is a bit OTT for my purposes.

Re: [WANTED] "Clash of Eagles" Black Powder supplement
UPDATE: Managed to get one for £12 + £4 P&P; also, a copy of "Albion Triumphant 2 (France 0, after extra time)" for £15, no P&P. So bit of a result all round!
In case anyone is wondering why the sudden interest in "Black Powder" (which I have heartily detested since my first game of it at Partizan several years ago*), there is a BP "event" - NOT a tournament - at "Boards & Swords" in Derby next March (1st & 2nd), where you take a 600-point Napoleonic army and play four games. No prizes for winning most games, or anything so common, but awards for "best painted army", "most sporting player" and "best vignette". These last items are actually valuable as they qualify you for various re-rolls in one (and one only) turn. This is the second such event - named "Under Eagles To Glory" - the first having been held last June. Interestingly, out of the 18 armies that turned up at UETG1, just one was French - and that was Imperial Guard.
Entry is £40, which includes lunch and sundry other refreshments on both days; I think there are a few tickets left if anyone is interested.
* Don't ask.
Oh, all right if you insist - playing British (only two small brigades, as I was a novice) in a refight of Mandora, prelude to Alexandria 1801, on the Perry table. Turn 1, French win the initiative; my immediate opponent makes a triple move, ends up at "close range", blasts the crap out of me, I duly fail both sets of morale rolls, and exit the table. Game over. Spent the rest of the the day shopping and viewing other tables, in a huff. When I got home, the Baroness pointed out that with all the experience I have, I ought to be better at losing.....
