A new video has been posted on DBN Wargaming youtube channel covering the Battle of Salamanca 1812. There is also a free scenario available in the downloads section at DBNwargaming.

I was involved playing the game twice over a wintry weekend in Scarborough and both games were close run and went to the wire.

Even the terrain, roads and hills!

How many elements each side? Seems a lot more than the standard DBN game 😏. Cheers,

I do prefer DBN for Napoleonic games. I have tried 2x2 which is specifically fpor 2mm figure blocks but the game does not seem to have the same feel as DBN.
