Toulouse Two Hundred and Some Pre-Bicentennial Hundred Days

Maréchal Sparker has done it again. True to his word, he gathered his Wollongong Uni wargamers for another bicentennial bash.

This time they played out the two hundredth of the Battle of Toulouse, focussing on Beresford's attack on the Heights of Calvinet, east-north-east of the town.

More wonderful photos and Ralph's report are here, plus an additional view from Alan (Soult, P.) here

Meanwhile, we have some more early commemorations of the Hundred Days Campaign, in preparation for the 'real thing' next year.

Ian and Lee finished the playtest of their game of Quatre Bras; which they'd do 'in anger' as a bicentennial game next year.

The full report of this one is on Ian's blog with no name.


The Action at Plancenoit, a drama played out in three parts, has been brilliantly reported by Simon at the Service Ration Distribution.

I waited to put up a post about this until it was finished, so that you could follow it all:
Part One,
Part Two,
Part Three.
