Of course, not all wargamers/groups who are observing the bicentennial of, arguably, the world's most well-known battle will be running their re-fights bang-on the day, but it does mean that the level of activity has increased significantly.
Below is a photo summary of what I have been able to gather, with links to the appropriate blogs or webpages.
