19th Century Bloody Big Battles

Hi Chris, welcome to the Forum!

[Leman]

Contacted Dave Ryan, at Caliver, and he expects to have the rules available in a couple of weeks

[Fenton]

Good news

Did he give any indication of price?

[Leman]

Frayed knot.

[fsn]

Is that a really shabby English Civil War re-enactment society?


Bad puns Army - FSN

[Leman]

Yeah, the type that uses velcro fastening Hush Puppies.

Absolutely!  Any fule kno that Hush Puppies were not introduced until the Restoration in 1660.

Presumably, prior to the Restoration, shoes were required to be plain black, and sufficiently ill-fitting to cause the wearer virtuous suffering?

If I may go off-topic for a moment:
Don't know how many people this will be relevant for, but for US members, Dennis of "On Military Matters" has posted on TMP to say that OMM will have BBB and BBEB from the Saturday of Fall-In, i.e., 8 November, at US$ 25 a book.

On the BBB yahoo group it says that Irregular Miniatures will be stocking the rules

[Dave Fielder]

I'll buy them from the first available in the UK. Will add them to my Blucher wish list.

Anyone got any ideas for the gunboats on the Seine that feature in one of the FPW scenarios? I'm going to be doing this in 6mm. I'm OK for the armoured train thanks to the Irregular Boer War stuff but no idea what to use for the boats. Don't think a Sudan style paddle boat will do though.
