I have turned the lightbox feature back on to make it easier to scroll through posts with multiple images. I turned this off several years ago because it made it impossible to read documents such as painting instructions and let you zoom in close to photos. However, on balance I agree it's more user friendly to have the feature switched back on!Strykerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14258922461691204362noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6875985959507775409.post-14875173432231933072017-07-09T19:39:23.741+01:002017-07-09T19:39:23.741+01:00A stirring sight indeed!A stirring sight indeed!Matthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15751744958434403184noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6875985959507775409.post-24353979937689939842017-07-09T19:29:25.342+01:002017-07-09T19:29:25.342+01:00What Heinz-Ulrich said!

I've changed my opinion because although it shouldn't work, using the C&C game system with miniatures does provide an excellent game with the feel of napoleonic warfare. There is a real ebb and flow to the battles that makes for a lot of interest and fun. Big games can be fought in 4-5 hours to a proper conclusion which takes away the 'if we'd had another hour my Old Guard would have smashed you' syndrome. It's also useful where players have troops based to different systems, as Tony, Goya and myself do.<br /><br />As I've said before, C&C will never totally replace my own rule system for my Hinton Hunts, but I will continue to play it when I get the chance!

Your report and photos are so much better than mine that I'll just try to pinch a little reflected glory and my own blog will simply feature a short link to this post!<br /><br />Interesting the extent to which the game differed from (and, in parts, was similar to) the original battle. The struggle to get across the river, the formidable obstacle offered by the walled farm behind the central section of the river, and the to-and-fro struggles on the Austrian right and centre each had their own special moments.<br /><br />I shall say nothing of the dice - my compliments on the musketry training which the Archduke has clearly been insisting upon. When I did finally use a big-movement card to mount an attack in the centre, it was simply blown away. Hmmm. So much for élan...<br /><br />At one point I know I was 7-0 down or something - to get it back to 12-7 suggests that we must have won the second half (to quote Sam Allardyce)...<br /> MSFoyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14470241067504971068noreply@blogger.com
