Very glad that Steve over at Sound Officers' Call advertised these guys and their shows.
Marengo is the game that ends Season 1 - and it's not just Marengo, it's the whole campaign with 7 players, and using Russ Lockwood's seminal Napoleonic rules - Snappy Nappy.
I'm no big Napoleonics expert, but this was superb, setting the battle and campaign in context for me. What a show.
I've watched all the episodes that these guys have produced, and there's never been a dull moment. Treat yourself to this one.
Can't wait for season 2.
An outstanding video to cap a great season. I hope this doesn't mean theyre done with making the videos though!
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed the Marengo campaign vid. Id love to put something like this on!
It was a great finale to the season. It's rare to see complete campaigns like that - so epic in scope, and cavalry being used to scout complete regions/tables.
DeleteAlso impressed with the written orders and fog of war; it had everything.
The guys put a lot of work into it. Great to watch.
Look forward to you and Alex doing something similar - perhaps 'Holiday in Krasnovia'? ;)
They did a great job with the scenario and the video, and had a great game with "only" 7 players and 5 tables. AS you might recall, our group has done quite a few of these, and they are a real eye opener.
ReplyDeleteThe accounts of the seven that we have run are on my blog:

If the new Venue in Lancaster works out, I might do another one of these at Historicon in 2020.
Many thanks for that. Yes, I've seen some of your epic games too. Fantastic stuff.
