Regular forum browsers will have noticed a few posts from me over the past fifteen months reporting on a succession of refights of historical battles from the Hungarian War of Independence of 1848-1849. This week we fought the fifteenth and final battle. Here are the photo-reports of battles #14 (Szőreg):

and #15 (Temesvár):

It is gratifying to have completed such a substantial sequence of battles at a steady rate of one a month – high enough to sustain interest, moderate enough to allow variety of other games in between. Inevitably the cast of players changed a bit, but the core team got to play the great majority of games. It's been a really interesting and educational way to follow the course of the war and become familiar with the generals, the regiments, and the armies.
These games also served as playtests for the resulting "Bloody Big Hungary '48 Battles!" campaign book that is consequently now almost ready for publication so that other gamers can have as much fun from these scenarios as we have.

Two good looking and fun sounding games :-bd
It is a real accomplishment getting through a 15 game campaign =D> =D> =D>
Let alone all the challenges real life has thrown at your group over the last 15 months
Cheers, Paul - appreciated! Yes, definitely a sense of satisfaction from getting this done, especially during what has not been a particularly easy year for any of us.
Two great games to finish things off Chris. I've set my pennies aside for the scenario book when it comes out :) .
Thanks, Steve. Every penny helps when it comes to maintaining the BBB megayacht and its fleet of helicopters. ;)
