  2. This takes us a bit back to full circle; the very first event in 2012 was based on the spring of 1809 as well, but with a lot fewer tables and players, so we wound up mostly just testing out the rules and concepts;

  4. I'll look forward to some more engaging AARs after this one Peter. A fun period to game, especially if you are French.

    1. This one should be fairly evenly matched; troops numbers/quality are very similar, French have an edge in Leadership, Austrians in position.
