I met Michael McNight on the train this morning, and he mentioned that Tony Pollard- Glasgow Uni (Two men in a Trench) is planning a massive , 4 day Waterloo game using Black Powder. The intention is to break all records by using 20,000 figures. I believe the idea is to raise money for veterans- Vets will take the higher command positions, wargamers will command brigades. I'll see what else I can find out and keep you posted.

They have changed the spec- In order to get the number of figures, they are representing battalions by 3 24 man units- Ie 72 figures plus an officer. I appear to be commanding Olfermann's Brunswick Light Brigade, which will actually have 24 units in it! How that's going to work is a mystery. It costs £40 to register- donation to Justgiving. I've already been on the Perry website and ordered some figures.......

I saw that is said that a battalion was going to be 72 figures - thankfully I have enough Prussians for a quite a few Battalions but haven't heard back from them yet. Will have to add an extra 24 Landwehr though to bring them up to two brigades.

Hopefully you will hear back soon - they were reasonably quick with me, but I suspect the coverage over the weekend meant that they have been swamped. Luckily Brunswickers are Black, so the paint job is not too difficult........

They got back to me today saying they would let me know my interest has been forwarded to their order of battle person - so hopefully will get more details soon.

Was in Static yesterday- most of the napoleonics are sold out, however he has ordered a restock from Warlord, so there should be replacements by the end of the week. I'm going down again today- black spray paint ran out.......
