| In our 1813 season finale you got to see our club maneuver armies across a large hex map of Prussia and Saxony. He based his map on the exact layout of the boardgame Campaign of Nations, transcribing that onto polystyrene insulation. Want to see a step by step photo tutorial to learn how you can make your own 3D hex maps at home? We got you covered! |  |

The PDF GUideIn our 1813 campaign guide, you get our board game modifications, new unit counters, and the complete orders of battle for the Spring AND Fall of 1813. The OOBs are at the division level, but very easy to adapt to any game system you may prefer. The PDF also includes fog of war flags you can use as a fun optional game element. Everything you need is included in the PDF! Well, everything except a copy of the board game itself from Hollandspiele! It's a fun, lite hex and counter game that we really enjoyed playing. Even if you don't get a copy of the board game, you can still use our PDF guide for the army research and OOBs to run your own tabletop 1813 battles. Merry Christmas, friends! Thanks for watching the channel and hanging out with us. 
CLICK HERE to watch the terrain tutorial video. We're hosting this "Free Stuff" video on our Patreon page, but the post is set to "public," so everyone can see it whether you're an active patron or not.
We again want to thank Mark and his club for designing the scenario. We've reformatted it and illustrated the PDF with a lovely new tabletop map, but all the design work and playtesting was done by Mark's Game Room.
You could almost play the entire game from our new QRS, but you'll still probably want a copy of the original rules from Osprey. The author of the game, Eric Farrington, addressed many of the most glaring holes in Men of Bronze with his follow-up game, Wars of the Republic. But if you want a quick, easy hoplite-era wargame, our revised version of the original is a good place to start!
Happy July 4th! If you enjoyed our Vicksburg "what if" operational game, you'll probably also enjoy the full length debrief discussion. Join Keith, Mark, and Miles for an in-depth chat about the game and what they could have done differently. Do Miles and Mark think they could have managed to win WITHOUT Longstreet's troops? Why didn't Keith go for Jackson? All those questions will be answered right here on the Free Stuff page. Thanks for stopping by the LWTV website to visit us.
Today on the Free Stuff page, Ed is pleased offer you all the details required for both scenarios, which you can play independently of each other. Each engagement includes 4 PDF files with briefings and OOBs for the opposing sides. The OOBs are structured for Fistful of TOWS 3, a game we've previously reviewed on the channel four years ago. With some tweaking, you could certainly port Ed's orders of battle to a different rule set of your preference!
And in addition to the free game, we're also posting the complete scenario. It includes the exact order of battle and scenario rules we used in the YouTube video, including a full layout of the Alamo complex. Once again, we want to give a special "THANK YOU" to Rich, Ron, and David for making this freely available to wargamers around the world! The 3 page PDF can be downloaded below:
March 31, 2023 UPDATE: A new version of the Alamo Ruleser (linked above) has updated some typos and offered a clearer explanation for recycling Mexican reserves.
