I participated in Pete's playtest of his 100 Days Campaign Game, entitled "Napoleon's Last Gamble" (if its Napoleon's last gamble, why do the allies go first though?) using the
Black Powder 2 rules. Pete will run this game at the
Ambuscade! gaming event on February 9. I am particularly fond of Pete's Napoleonic Wars collection as they are his dad's Minifigs collection from the '70s, to which Pete has added more units.
The game seemed to be going fairly well for the French and then in the span of a turn or so half the brigades broke! Being one of the French players, I think our error was not getting the bulk of the infantry in the center forward fast enough - the allies were able to beat us on the flanks.
Classic looking wargame!
ReplyDeleteMinis look great! Can’t wait for Ambuscade!... just around the corner, now.
ReplyDeleteI’m also looking for more games around the PDX area. I actually received a Google Groups invite recently, but I was an idiot with an over-full inbox and didn’t see it in time; the invite has now expired, and I have no way of contacting the sender. Any idea who runs the Portland Wargamers group?
Chat me up at Ambuscade. I'm not playing or running a game in the 1st session.
