My railway is from Irregular Miniatures.

The two BBB Bash Days so far were both great fun and I'd love to do another one. However, the format takes quite a lot of effort to organize, and unfortunately various other commitments mean I don't have the time right now. Nobody else has picked up the baton, so unless someone steps forward very soon, I think we'll give it a miss for 2018 and maybe focus on doing more games at shows instead.

Montebello is a great scenario and is popular for good reason. It is easy terrain to set up, only needs 4'x4', and is quick to play (we completed it three times in 5 hours with total novice players); the contrast between French quality and Austrian quality, in terms both of troops and of commanders, is really brought out well by the rules; and the scenario special rule that lets the outnumbered French delay the Austrian reinforcements by assaulting boldly makes for a good ding-dong scrap.

You should try it, even if you just use proxy armies.

That's what I'm looking to do - planning on First Bull Run at Joy of Six in Sheffield next July. May also look at a FPW scenario at Phalanx in June.

We were in the same hall as Gettysburg but tucked away in the furthest corner.
