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 Sebastien Bossard on October 11, 2011 at 16:19: Here is what I propose: I will come to the World Life club to install the game on a Friday at the beginning of the afternoon, all the players will come on Friday evening for a briefing on the rules and the historical context. We will play from Saturday morning to Sunday afternoon and I will cleanup on Sunday evening. Now which days, that will depend the availability of everybody. The minimum number of players is 7. after, it's too much troops to manage.

Comment by Sebastien Bossard on October 11, 2011 at 16:10: Ok, Richard, you are now a French general or Marshal! you will be in charge of three or four divisions. there also is two levels of command: army commander or corps commander: two army commanders for the German army (Friedrich-Karl 'the Red Prince' and von Steinmetz) and one for the French (the infamous Bazaine)

Comment by Richard ridealgh on October 11, 2011 at 13:58: I'd have to say I'd like to be on the French side. The umbilical cord they call the channel tunnel is my deciding factor here:)

Comment by Colby Colasanto on October 9, 2011 at 21:19: I am interested, sounds pretty cool.

Comment by Sebastien Bossard on October 9, 2011 at 19:09: For people attending, do you have any preference:

-Prussian (better guns, more troops, will be the attacker)

-French (better rifles, will defend)
