Reply To: 18th century big battles

Interesting comments from both Henry and James, sadly for myself I have not had the pleasure of playing a large 18th century game but having run several very large WW2 games I can agree with the statement that there is a maximum number of figures/players, playing a large game before movement boredom, figure overload or tactical stagnation sets in.

I think a the secret of large 18th century gaming is maybe playing several smaller games (maybe 250-350 figure a side) on the same theme in the same area.  I certainly will be trying this option for my large WW2 games in future.
