When thinking about wargaming the bicentennial of 1813 one name springs to mind; Rafa Pardo.
Rafa has, through is Wargaming with Napoleonic Miniatures website and Project Leipzig (1813) blog created not only a record of his research into battles and units, design of scenarios, painting of figures and, of course, wargames, but has also produced a marvellous resource and website of key links for other wargamers: be they novices or old grumblers.
The main reason for alerting readers of this blog to Rafa's 'work' is for his numerous reports of games based on the battles of the 1813 campaign in Saxony.
