True ... but until the friend that I or...Ross Mac,<br /><br />True ... but until the friend that I originally planned to refight the Battle of Waterloo with is completely well again, I will avoid fighting that particular battle. (The Waterloo project arose after I had a conversation with an old wargaming friend about the bicentenary of the battle. It transpired that neither of us had ever refought the battle with figures, and I volunteered to varnish and base my Del Prado collection so that we could. My friend then suffered a life-threatening illness from which he is still recovering. We will refight the battle one day ... but not quite yet.)<br /><br />All the best,<br /><br />BobRobert (Bob) Corderyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13109130990434792266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6933470253715910366.post-44431546264520821772015-08-13T08:39:31.947+01:002015-08-13T08:39:31.947+01:00Gonsalvo,

However additional eBay purchases have 'expanded' the number of Napoleonic figures that I own, and I have yet to use the figures that I have finished on the tabletop ... so it is also true that the project is not quite finished yet. (I suspect that it will continue to grow as and when more figures become available ... but that is another story/project!)<br /><br />All the best,<br /><br />BobRobert (Bob) Corderyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13109130990434792266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6933470253715910366.post-36703047072207630262015-08-13T03:16:11.293+01:002015-08-13T03:16:11.293+01:00Complete?!?

(Taking them all out would take a very, very long time ... and I don't have the room on my table for them all to be on parade together.)<br /><br />I did have some ideas about the rules I was going to use ... but now that I have read Neil Thomas's OHW rules I am beginning to wonder if they might be better than what I had originally had in mind. I could also use C&C:N or BLUCHER ... so the field is wide open at the moment.<br /><br />All the best,<br /><br />BobRobert (Bob) Corderyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13109130990434792266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6933470253715910366.post-37588228427966215502015-08-12T17:29:40.859+01:002015-08-12T17:29:40.859+01:00Hi Bob,

I suspect that I am speaking for many of your blog followers when I say....can we have a photographic grand review of the complete armies please?<br /><br />I am looking forward to seeing them in action and also VERY intrigued as to what rules you will be using!<br /><br />All the best,<br /><br />DCDavid Crookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02497436789811496047noreply@blogger.com
