Thanks to everyone who threw their name into the ring for a place in the Wavre campaign game.
In the end it was over-subscribed for the 10 candidates needed and so drawing from a hat (literally) by Mrs. Wargamer became necessary.
I have given individuals any preferences they had declared with regards to sides (Prussian or French) or command level (thank you ten sided dice!) and then names went back into the hat to redraw gamers against the individual formations that they would be responsible for.
All interested parties whether successful or not will now be contacted over the next few hours.
Those not successfully drawn from the hat will get a guaranteed seat in the next campaign game that I run.
For those involved in this campaign, briefing packages will go out over the next few hours.
Each of you fought at Ligny just two days ago, where you witnessed the true misery of war at first hand and here you are again, tired, exhausted, yet the demand for one more effort must be answered.
I have started a campaign diary, so at the end of all of this, a full narrative will be posted here, so that all involved can have a fuller insight as to what was going on around them, the impact of decisions, the impact of the umpire’s systems and various battle outcomes and which hopefully will also be an interesting read for everyone else.
Time for me to hunker down in my HQ bunker as the sound of distant guns has already started.
Good luck to all involved and I hope that you each get a game that entertains.
(Note - using my iPad, I sometimes get an error message when trying to comment here or other blogs. I have found that pressing the PUBLISH button 4 times gets past the problem … no idea why).
