Wandering mind - Franco-Prussian War?

Great thing about BBB is you only need a few Pendraken packs to make whole armies.

That is a decided advantage. 10mm is my preferred scale for non-skirmish games, but I had been thinking about lurching possibly to 6mm (!).

Thanks Chris, Nick and others - a lot of food for thought: I'll be at Colours in ten days or so and may pick up a BBB ruleset if there's one there and mull over the issue of scale of battle and granularity of unit detail a bit more.

Usually we lay on a BBB participation game at Colours but various work, family, conference, medical etc issues meant we can't do it this year. 

That is a decided advantage. 10mm is my preferred scale for non-skirmish games, but I had been thinking about lurching possibly to 6mm (!).

All my armies are 6mm, but if I were to start again now I think I'd go 10mm so that it would be easier for some of my comrades to tell who's who and which way they're going ...

I've got the first two Bloody Big Battles FPW scenarios, Froeschwiller & Borny-Colombey, loaded on Tabletop Simulator (TTS).

If you own TTS then I would be more than happy to teach you how to play BBB online.

Froeschwiller is very good for demonstrating the differences between the Chassepot rifle and and the  Krupp cannon

That's a kind offer, Alan, but I am really trying to keep my screen time down. Increasingly, my day job - which used to be all about talking to people and explaining things face-to-face - has turned into a Zoom or MS Teams dominated series of rather empty screen-staring interactions.
