The Beast From The East (part 1) - 1813 Napoleonic Sharp Practice

Last weekend saw two days of excellent gaming at https://www.bristolindependentgaming.co.uk/ in Bristol. The theme was the 1813 Sixth Coalition conflict between Napoleon and his allies against the might of Austria, Prussia, Russia and various others. 

Here are some pictures of the Day 1 games;
























The premise of these games was a fictional campaign set towards the end of the year, with the French and their allies withdrawing in poor weather following the defeat at the Battle of Leipzig. There was snow, rain and reduced visibility and a wide variety of forces on parade.

I will post Day 2 tomorrow.

  1. Great looking stuff there! It's all well-painted and the scenery is very nice. Color me jealous.

    1. The whole weekend was huge fun. We (there were a dozen players) played on some terrific tables and we were mainly playing with new armies put together for the event. My Austrians acquitted themselves well, winning three of their four battles.
