Event Description

Hello, I will organize with the World Life Club a huge miniature wargame. The thema is the battle of Gravelotte St Privat, one of the biggest battle of the Franco-Prussian war of 1870. The surface area of the game will be 15 sqm and the number of miniatures around 8 000, so the view will be quite spectacular. I will need 11 motivated players, 6 for the German team and 5 for the French team. If you like history and/or strategy game, like chess, please feel free to participate. The game will be organized in November or December and it will be a two-three days event.

Comment by David G on November 16, 2011 at 18:42: So , no practice this Sunday?

Comment by Sebastien Bossard on November 15, 2011 at 6:58: Here is the French team for the big battle: Richard Ridealgh as Maréchal Canrobert (the toughest position) and Richard Roman as Général Ladmirault (and may be general in chief), Colby as Général Leboeuf, we need one more player on this team to play Général Frossard,

The German team is: Vincent as Prinz Albrecht von Sachsen (XIIth corps) and Prinz Augustus von Wurttemberg (Guard corps), John as von Manstein (IXth corps) and von Goeben (VIIIth corps) and general in chief, David as von Zastrow (VIIth corps) and von Fransecky (IInd corps). The German team can welcome more players as well.

Comment by Richard Roman on November 7, 2011 at 12:57: Enjoyed it very much. I never thought I would be a Frenchman!

Comment by Sebastien Bossard on November 7, 2011 at 12:18: I am glad you enjoyed it. Next practice session, I propose to put the troops closer to each other to be able to do more shootings and close combat. I also will let you use the tables to do the calculations by yourself. See you on Sunday!

Comment by Richard ridealgh on November 7, 2011 at 11:27: Practice went well enough. Loved it! The French managed to rock the huge german army. But I suspect its not over yet with more german reinforcements arriving and the french unaware that the germans were coming behind them....great saga, great game. Practice again on Sunday afternoon!

Comment by Richard ridealgh on October 29, 2011 at 12:07: I will

Comment by Sebastien Bossard on October 29, 2011 at 12:00: David, Colby, Richard, Jason, Dominik, Vinz, will you come for the practice minigame on 6th?

Comment by Richard ridealgh on October 27, 2011 at 17:08: sounds good, practice it is then!

Comment by Sebastien Bossard on October 26, 2011 at 19:17: Well, it depends your disponibilities to you all. What about the 6th of November (a Sunday) from 2PM? I will need an answer from all players who are interested. I could organize a mini-game with each of you playing a brigade for example. There is no better way to learn than to play.
