Absolutely!  Any fule kno that Hush Puppies were not introduced until the Restoration in 1660.

Presumably, prior to the Restoration, shoes were required to be plain black, and sufficiently ill-fitting to cause the wearer virtuous suffering?

If I may go off-topic for a moment:
Don't know how many people this will be relevant for, but for US members, Dennis of "On Military Matters" has posted on TMP to say that OMM will have BBB and BBEB from the Saturday of Fall-In, i.e., 8 November, at US$ 25 a book.

On the BBB yahoo group it says that Irregular Miniatures will be stocking the rules

I'll buy them from the first available in the UK. Will add them to my Blucher wish list.

Anyone got any ideas for the gunboats on the Seine that feature in one of the FPW scenarios? I'm going to be doing this in 6mm. I'm OK for the armoured train thanks to the Irregular Boer War stuff but no idea what to use for the boats. Don't think a Sudan style paddle boat will do though.

Thanks Peter. How on earth did I miss that?

I'm not buying them, I don't need any more rules, I'm not buying them, I'm not buying, I'm not, I'm ............

You'll end up regretting it.

I got mine from Irregular - very quick service and £20 inc p&p.   The rules look excellent and are very clear - I am expecting the scenarios supplement soon!  Chris is very quick to answer any questions on the yahoo group.

Anyone had a chance to play BBB? If so how does it play? What are the key mechanics?

Hi Fred,

Thanks for your interest in BBB. You'll find a fair amount of description in my original announcement on TMP:

A new BBB player's AAR of his group's first game here:

Plenty of extra info, including colour maps and quick reference sheets, in the files of the BBB Yahoo group:

Hope this helps,

Got that bookmarked for proper perusal. Many thanks KT.

Interesting review and report

A nice review of BBB and of BBEB has just been published in Foreign Correspondent #105 (journal of the Continental Wars Society. I say "nice" because it is very very positive.

Bloody Big BATTLES!
