Rhys and Griffin served in remote roles, communicating only with the game umpire (Josh). They received maps and intelligence reports, but never saw the miniature tabletops or led troops in the field. They did issue written orders to their subcommanders, and now we're sharing those orders for the first time! Griffin's orders include his detailed deployment maps, as well.

Last week Tom & Greg reviewed the 2015 big battle rules Blucher, published by Sam Mustafa. If you missed the review, CHECK IT OUT, but in that review we briefly mentioned our old 1809 Danube campaign. This was a large campaign event run in the club ten years ago, organized and developed by Tom when Blucher first came out. Back then, we were all very excited about the new game and wanted to tackle a monster campaign. 

Did you watch our Battle of Acre wargame or hear the post-game interview with game master Chris Grau? If so, then you know Chris adapted Lion Rampant (written by Daniel Mersey) into a "big battle" system for armies instead of skirmishes. Head over to our Patreon page and read this post, which includes the files for his changes. He even cites page numbers in the original rules to note each update he made and why. Thank you again to Chris for sharing this! You can visit him directly on his own painting tutorial channel, Feldgrau Productions. Pop over and say hi!

Our thanks again to Chris for organizing this wargame! You can see Chris on our channel doing painting tutorials, but he has his own YouTube channel with many more painting videos. It's called Feldgrau Productions. Perhaps you'll enjoy this recent video where he shows off his 10mm Saracen army in greater detail!
