No, John 'DZ' Drewienkiewicz and Andrew Brentnall are putting their game on at salute, launching their new book at same time.

Alan,

Cameronian is right, John Dz and I will, with a bit of help from our friends, be putting on the Continental Wars Society demonstration game at SALUTE. It will consist of Pendraken figures, at the last count about 2,800 of them at a figure scale of about 1:20.  The rules will be an adaptation of Rich Hasenauer's Regimental Fire and Fury that we have been working on for the last nine months.  The book Cameronian refers to is "Wargaming in History Volume 8, The Austro-Prussian War: the Opening Battles". It covers Gitschin, Trautenau and two variants on Skalitz as well as Nachod.

Absolutely stunning game !

The book sounds interesting Andrew. I can't make Salute so please take plenty of photos .

Hi Steve,

I am sure plenty of photos will be taken, but I think I will have my hands full running the game.  That said, it is probably for the best, I am a rubbish photographer!

The Pendraken team always take loads, especially when its Pendraken figures.

We'll be at Salute too, so hope to see you there. And I'm highly impressed with the Nachod game. Was this your "fleece over polystyrene" terrain?

Superb looking table

I'll be at Salute - helping out on the CWS stand - Ralph has an CWS polo shirt for me. I didn't make last years show due to illness, so I'm specially looking forward to this year.

Best regards

No, this was a lovingly crafted one off - hence the search for a simpler system ... like fleece over poly !!

Thank you so much for sharing fantastic report and pictures.

Pre ordered Wargaming in History Volume 8, The Austro-Prussian War: the Opening Battles as well. Looks like a fantastic title and from what I can tell some very nice pictures!!!! Can't wait.

[mollinary]

Thanks lekw, you may be our first reader!  I hope you enjoy it, there are certainly some great photos in it (I can say this, as I didn't take any of them!).

Best,

Mollinary

Stunning!  I have enough troops paint to do this battle, now I just need to do the terrain.  I hope it turns out as good as yours!
