You will see fro...Hi TWR<br /><br />Thanks for your comments<br /><br />You will see from my reply to Steve above, that I feel a little guilty about not using 6mm more than I do. <br /><br />Your forthcoming 6mm Napoleonic game sounds very promising. I think you need a lot of players to move the smaller figures around, and keep track with what they are doing. But you should manage ok with 6 players.<br /><br />I hope that your day is a great success. I know only too well how much preparation goes into these days, and the game can sometimes be a disappointment. <br /><br />Will you be posting photographs of your game? I would like to see them.<br /><br />regards<br /><br />Paulthistlebarrowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00077298970769942656noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-97754405909576170.post-44377407879899346292009-05-06T22:11:00.000+02:002009-05-06T22:11:00.000+02:00I have been following your blog for a while now.

We use Volley & Bayonet for this period as well as the SYW and American Civil War.<br /><br />In just over a week six of us are gathering for a 6mm Napoleonic day which will see six games played during the course of the day. All part of a themed event at our local wargames club.<br /><br />I look forward to further updates at your site.TWRhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17980598327408683598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-97754405909576170.post-7065414044623304312009-05-04T18:50:00.000+02:002009-05-04T18:50:00.000+02:00Hi Terry

The 6mm have a...Hi Steve<br /><br />Thanks for your comments<br /><br />The 6mm have always been the "poor relation" of my collection. My first love was/is 25mm, my second 15mm and then come poor old 6mm! Having said that I often think that if I were starting again I would go for 6mm, or possibly the new 10mm. They look great on the table in a large battle. And when I have used them, we always enjoyed the game.<br /><br />I didn't mean to sound disheartened by the lack of feedback. In fact I mentioned it to say how grateful I am that people take the trouble to check out the blog. As you know, things don't always come across the way you mean them.<br /><br />To be honest I don't remember where I got the 6mm buildings from. Jan makes all of my new ones, which are scratch built. She has made a smashing hougoumont, but it is so obviously hougoumont that we could only use it in a refight of Waterloo!<br /><br />Paulthistlebarrowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00077298970769942656noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-97754405909576170.post-34043275458087867882009-05-04T14:03:00.000+02:002009-05-04T14:03:00.000+02:00Paul,
