Should have been a 2 day job, the French were just arriving in real numbers by the afternoon, could have been very interesting - however, the fact that they were embroiled in a battle at all is indicative of the seriousness of their predicament. They should have been down that road and gone the previous day !

Cracking, "MDF Mike" :D I have a bunch of his bridges just arrived, for BBB - technically for 10mm, but also for 2mm. Once on map they look good enough for either!

It'll be a while before we get to the Franco-Prussian set to, we're only just about to leave the Crimea...

Irregular for the scenario book - they had one cheap copy left; then North Star IIRC for the actual rule book when they restocked...

Northstar definitely has the scenario book - http://northstarfigures.com/prod.php?prod=8235 (http://northstarfigures.com/prod.php?prod=8235) but appears to be out of the rule book. Irregular now have neither listed but Caliver appear to have both rules and supplement - https://www.caliverbooks.com/catviewer.php?cat=Wargames&subcat=72&subcode=F (https://www.caliverbooks.com/catviewer.php?cat=Wargames&subcat=72&subcode=F)...
