Rules “Landsknecht” by Steve Thompson.

The Wargames holiday centre will be the venue for an Italian Wars extravaganza. Two large battles will be fought over Friday afternoon and Saturday. The results of these battles will culminate in one large battle taking place on Sunday. The latter battle being affected in some ways by the results of the previous battles.

Over 4,000 figures with all the pomp and panoply of colour experienced in our previous Italian Wars weekends.

The rules to be used are the “Landsknecht” from SKT WARGAMES RULES by Steve Thompson.

1st – 7th November 2019

Using ItGM rules Mega Weekend.

Here we have the culmination of the 100 days, what if Napoleon hadn’t have divided his army to such an extent and had Vandamme pursue the Prussians.  What if Grouchy was at Waterloo with most of his force.  Wellington also has the benefit of information that allows him to reduce his force at Halle.

Waterloo becomes a different game.  Prussians still arriving, but when?

The Battle of Waterloo
  • Attacking the Guard
    More action from a Waterloo game, I think most of the figures here are Connoisseur, all tweaked by Doug.
  • Into the Wheat fields.

Our now famous game representing the Battle of Dresden takes place this weekend.

Napoleon arrives and attacks the gathering Allies to drive them from his stockpiles of supplies in the city, the capital of his ally, Saxony.

See the famous Gross-Garten, site of a fierce hand to hand action during the battle.

The weather is bleak with a deluge of rain effecting the battle periodically. So there is a lot of atmosphere!

We will be using the now tried and trusted in the Grand Manner rule-set. Play tested and developed constantly a truly living rule-set.

There are 12 places available at present.

The southern half of the Battle of the Nations.  Over 8,000 figures.

Can you crush the Allies before the reserves arrive, or will you release the might of the combined Allied Guard and smash the upstart once and for all!

Here is an opportunity to command the Imperial relief columns, can you master the desert and relieve the beleaguered garrison.

There will be a few battles throughout the weekend, marching through some of the loveliest Sudan terrain on the planet. All using the fabulous collection of Dave Docherty.

This has proved extremely popular in recent outings so contact me for details if you wish to command one of the relief columns!

This year sees yet another of our now very popular Donald Featherstone Tribute weekends.  This year it features the Sudan, who will steer the relief columns to relieve the Imperial Garrison or rescue the Damsels in distress!

Dinner on the Saturday, Jacket and tie, three course meal and after dinner speakers.
