Hougoumont at 1:3 scale - a late report

West Country Hougoumont

There were such a lot of photos on this game that it took me over 18 months to get round to doing a proper report on my blog.  James has kindly allowed me to guest here to bring the links to any readers not aware of them.
The game took place over three days in September 2015 and involved 8 wargamers and about 3000 figures on a custom built terrain, 8 feet x 12 feet, scaled to one inch = 3 metres.

Here is my, and Kevin East's, report on the game West Country Waterloo - Hougoumont
