BBB Peninsular War book published

[Chris Pringle]

I'm delighted to announce the publication of our sixth scenario book for the "Bloody Big Battles!" rules:
Bloody Big Peninsular Battles!

This has 18 scenarios for the most important battles of the Peninsular War of 1808-1813. Full details are on the BBBBlog here:
https://bloodybigbattles.blogspot.com/2026/08/bbb-peninsular-war-scenario-book.html

The blog also has numerous reports of playtest games for these scenarios, so you can get a sense of how they play. Just search using the label "Napoleonic" or by the year of the battle you're interested in.

I suggest this is a fine excuse for members of this forum to build more Pendraken armies!

I dont think I have enough Napoleonic armies to do that period
1815 British 18mm
1813-15 Prussian 10mm
1806 Prussians 18mm and 10mm on order
1806-14 Austrians

I'm sure it will make both Leon and me as rich as the looters after Vitoria.

I only have the 25mm British I did when I was a teenager, plus some rather basic 2mm Peninsular armies. Luckily I have friends.

Wot no Portugees? (Or are they included in your Brits?)

Yes a few, cloned from Brits.

In related news, Episode #134 of the 20 Sided Gamified podcast has just been released:

This is on the Peninsular War and "all things Napoleonic". Podcaster Jared Fishman interviews Dr Mark Smith (and me) about his new scenario book, "Bloody Big Peninsular Battles!". I really enjoyed the conversation and hope some of my fellow Forum members will too.
