We hit BIG this weekend, Rob and myself and made a new friend, Glen. Rob had put together a scenario that challenge him to fight a delaying action with 2 Brigades of British Line Infantry with some support from 2 Light Infantry Regiments against 2 French Infantry Divisions supported by a Division of Cavalry. This was going to get messy.
The Orders were sent out.

The battle was great fun and we took a few shots of our new project now completed and some of the action. Sorry for the image quality as we were beside a window on a pretty bright day.
