Title: Waterloo: "I have never felt so emotionally immersed in a game!"

I don't usually bother you all with my batreps, but this one was a bit special (see the player quote in the title) so I thought it was worth sharing. Waterloo with BBB (https://bloodybigbattles.blogspot.com/2023/07/waterloo-i-have-never-felt-so.html).

A Napoleonic BBB scenario book you say  :-\

How did you know I was planning to dip my toes into the murky waters of the period at some point in the near future?!

Thanks, Lem, Matt. It really was a totally engrossing game and a ton of fun.

Yes, the "Napoleon's Biggest, Bloodiest Battles!" book is not too far off now. You probably have just enough time to paint up some armies before it's published. Better start now!  ;)

Haha! Tempting but I have resolved to clear the decks on at least one or two more projects before starting into a new one so just focusing on the research and planning stage at this point. Looking at maybe Italy or the Peninsular as a more manageable place to start. I have been poking around some of the drafts in the BBB group for inspiration too.
