My intermittent posting this year means that there are, once again, numerous bicentennial games and other updates to bring to your attention. Below is a summary listing.
I've grouped them under Games of the 1814 Bicentennial, Games From Earlier Bicentennial Years and Preparations for Waterloo 2015. As usual, please click on the link to go to the appropriate original posting.

Conrad Kinch and his fellow wargamers recently completed two scenarios of segments of Borodino; Shevardino & Utitza and Borodino Village & Raevski Redoubt scenarios for Command and Colours. Msr Kinch reports, "It was a good day and the pints after were just perfect"—excellent.

Rafa Pardo continues his series of excellent scenarios for battles of the 1813 campaign in Germany, many of them lesser known actions or sections of larger battles. Currently he is engrossed in the combat of Thiessen, 3rd September 1813. The engagement took place following Oudinot's defeat at Gross Beeren. The advance guard of Borstell’s 5th Brigade, led by Bülow, came up against Bertrands’s IV Corps deployed near Thiessen on the road to Wittenberg. At the time of writing he has completed part III and the Prussians have gained the upper hand, but will it continue?

Meanwhile, in the antipodes, the Wargaming Depot has completed his British 1st Division (Guards) in preparation for his bicentennial game in 6 mm.
In the same scale, Pushing Tin's extensive preparations have moved to the battlefield. He has produced some wonderful digitised maps of the famous battlefield.
