For the past year I've been furiously painting various Napoleonic forces to use with Et Sans Resultat (ESR) which is a "perspective based wargame" where the player is an army or corps commander. Last Saturday I played my first game of the year and the first since last August.

I posted an AAR on my blog but long story short, the French III Corps soundly defeated the Austrian II Korps.

It's a rather long narrative but here are some pictures in case you are interested.

Thanks very much for putting this up, I enjoyed the read. Glad your first experience was so positive after all of that painting :-)
