An AAR of our latest game and what turned out to be an absolute cracker (well we thought it was). Hope you enjoy it!

Sounds like a well thought out scenario and a great scrap gents. 8)

Looks and sounds like a great game. Yet another positive recommendation for BBB, I really must try these rules out.

That looked a good game. Mid-C19th seems to be taking off at the moment.

Thanks Gents :). The game seemed as mix of Napoleonic, with smooth bore muskets, rockets  and artillery, alongside early muzzle loaders and espignols. These gave a different tactical edge to the game, which was great. After a while Krupp artillery is not fun, unless you are Prussian of course ;).

Smashing, thanks, Steve! I've passed your kind words about his scenario on to Mark.

Those 1848-1852 scenarios are great little games. Big Bloody Battles becoming Little Bruisey Battles ...
