On Friday evening (15.09.2023) we managed to play one more bigger game a month, than usually we are playing for last two years. So now we have plans to play one or two more games a month, than only one we played on weekends.
So we managed to played a battle beetwen armies worth 2,500 points per side – on one side was Kris with German state – Württemberg and Napoleonic French, on the other side were allied force of Austrians lead Rafał, Prussians lead by Mr. Goldfish and Russians lead by me.
We played our game as always in Bolter, great place in Wrocław, Poland. If you are interested in playing with us – you can find us on Bolter Club page or on Wrocławscy Bonapartyści.
