Every year I team up with the chaps from Rushden Phoenix games club, and put on a game at English Heritage's event History Live, held at Kelmarsh Hall Northamptonshire.
Two days of living history, with everything from Roman times to WW2 represented. We have a wargames display in one of the marquees. With a few traders, including one of my favourite figure manufacturers, Warlord Games.
Anyhow, I have beenbuilding up my Napoleonic figures of late to play the Quatre Bras scenario in the Black powder supplement "Albion Triumphant, the 100 days campaign". There is an anniversary next year, after all! So although I haven't completed all the units for the game, I have about half, there is enough to get a good display.
The game laid out, with French brigades already on the move in turn 1. You may notice each unit has a marker behind them. This is a new unit stat and status system by Wargamer Aide de camp, who were there and supplied not only my game, but the Hail Caesar game with the markers. www.wargamer-aid-de-camp.com

During the Weekend the reenactors took an interest. Especially if their units were represented on the table. Two gentlemen dressed as Brunswickers, posing with their 28mm comrades!!
