This month we finally played the long-planned Friedland game, using the latest version of the T&A rules. I received Greg Wagman's kind permission to distribute complete rules to the players beforehand, and I know that at least some generals read them in the day or two available, but only two of the players had actually played them before. More on that below under "Game Notes". My thanks to the many people who signed up for the game - on the Russian side John, Angus and Geoff, and on the French Robert, Dennis, Steve, Anthony and Gordon. Special thanks to Steve and Gordon, who remained good-humoured and engaged, even though their troops never actually made it onto the table! Special mention also of Angus and Anthony, both playing their first Napoleonic battles (at least in this form), who handled their respective commands with skill and aplomb despite their inexperience.
With that said, what happened?
