FPW Battle of Gravelotte-St Privat

[cameronian]

Very nice indeed; do have a look at our froeschwiller game photos in the Pendraken Flickr page, should be under Falkirk 2010; also some good photos of our FPW and APW games over at Piquet and 1870 Yahoo groups (Froeschwiller and Nachod Wyskow Skalitz).

also   http://www.flickr.com/photos/pendraken/sets/72157623404033825/  I've changed all the Austrians (old style) for the new Pendraken ones in the intervening period : )

Let me know if you'd be interested in a 10mm APW gave over the Nachod Wyskow Skalitz game board; cant go to 6000 figures all the same, more like 3000 but still pretty good looking.
Encouraging to meet someone else who likes good terrain and 'en masse' effect.

OMG! And I've only just discovered these rules. Boy! have I got my work cut out; good job I'm about to retire.

Excellent looking game!

I'll be taking a foray into the FPW in the near future and this is very inspiring stuff.

Fantastic series of pictures, I'm jealous, if my FPW looks like this I'll be happy!

And the beauty of 10mm is that you can get the numbers on the board to make these big battles look credible on tabletop.

A blast from the past – but I've recently been prompted to re-upload all the Gravelotte pics to Flickr. You can find them here: https://www.flickr.com/photos/battlegames/sets/72157715173748363

I love the idea of Henry Hyde being a Cadet on this forum ;-) Everyone outranks him .... for a while at least

Given his output elsewhere I expect to be outranked shortly

Thanks Henry, great photos reminding me of great games - is it really 10 years ago!?  I know you are going through a hard time at present, but there are an awful lot of people rooting for you. Hang in there mate!

I have just come across these photos and this game. I have to say this really does take wargaming to a very high and ambitious level. Inspirational.
