Using Sam Mustafa's new Blucher rules, our club set up the Battle of Aspern-Essling in 6mm. The scenario represents a two-day action in May 1809, with Napoleon's army forcing a crossing of the Danube River near Vienna...but Archduke Charles lurks nearby with a larger force. Worse yet, the Danube is running high with the spring rains, threatening to break the tenuous bridge connection the French have established to connect their bridgehead. Read on for our full scenario report, along with a tutorial on how we made a custom section of the Danube River in 6mm scale.

All roads have led here, to Waterloo. This was the final battle in our club's 200th anniversary event and heading into the main event the French held a wide victory point lead of 173-to-95. It would take a supreme, masterful effort from Wellington to keep the restored emperor at bay. Will Blucher arrive in time?
