The club’s next scheduled date on August 11th is unavailable due to hall refurbishment, so there is no meeting that day – we can all enjoy the summer sunshine instead.<\/p>\n

However, as recompense we’ve arranged extended hours for the following meeting on the 25th – the club will be open until 7pm rather than the usual 5pm.<\/p>\n

Two members have taken the opportunity to put on large games that day – in the first, Dave Bates will be running The Battle of Ligney<\/strong>, a 15mm Napoleonic what-if scenario set during the Hundred Days (or Waterloo) campaign.<\/p>\n

The game concerns the battle of June 16th<\/sup>\u00a01815, principally Napoleon attacking the Prussian army who were deployed along the Ligney, a small but marshy stream crossed by four bridges. As we know, Wellington was not involved as he had been busy with a banquet in Brussels. However, in this game we bring in the 2nd<\/sup>\u00a0Anglo Allied Corps under The Prince of Orange from Quatre Bras. Napoleon’s staff failed to get orders to Marshal Ney \u2013 who had been at Quatre Bras – \u00a0until much later.<\/p>\n

The game is Black Powder supplemented by play tested house rules, and will be able to accommodate up to 6 players.<\/p>\n
