BBB First Thoughts and Queries

[Gennorm]

I've ordered the rules and supplement to collect at Salute.

Just been to the garage and checked my 10mm (Pendraken of course) Franco-Prussian War forces. About 80 bases of infantry and 8 guns plus a few cavalry bases per side on the 1" bases. Not painted in the same league as Lemmy's but reckon they should do. Also got similar number of Union in 6mm with the Rebs and some buildings in a bag. 2 new periods with minimal outlay. Result!

Excellent news Nick! Looking forwards to it!

My next game down the club will be to introduce another member to BBB, via Spicheren, for which I have the troops and terrain ready prepared. Looking forward to it as I have become much more au fait with the rules.

Hello

I've read the rules and like what I read 
But no army ready.

What scenario would be OK for a first game ?  ( I also bought BBEB )
( I think I'll play Crimean War, but may proxy a scenario when I'm ready)

[Steve J]

On the Yahoo Group there are some small scale scenarios that are perfect for training games. Montebello and Langensalza spring to mind as good ones to start with. Hope this helps Ronan?

I'll check.
Thank you !

edit : I checked ! that's Ok. THANK YOU !
