Next Campaign in a Day Event - Saturday, October 3, 2026

"Springtime for Nappy in Poland", 1807:

 The Friedland Campaign

    The next Campaign in a Day event will be held at The Portal, 60 Hilliard Street in Manchester, CT, from 10 AM until 5 PM. As in the past, the rules used will be a slightly modified version of Snappy Nappy by Rus Lockwood. Roughly 20 or so players will command a Corps or the equivalent as they maneuver hundreds of 25 mm miniature soldiers across more than a dozen tables representing the theater of operations. Typically, we provide doughnuts and coffee in the morning  and pizza in the afternoon; The Portal has non alcoholic beverages for sale. Registration is free, but we ask that you consider purchasing something at The Portal, a fantastic games store, in appreciation for their hosting us once again. I will be the GM for this year's event, assisted by Mark T. We already have 18 players registered, but we can accommodate several more. To register comment on this post, or write to Gonsalvo AT aol DOT com.

T\he original is roughly 4.5 x 8 feet! I have a (much smaller) print of this work in the study at my home, that was given to me by my Dad almost 60 years ago.
