Too Fat Lardies

All, see a new scenario in the new Lard Magazine for Waterloo - thanks Dave

no thread yet, so I'l start it here. Bought and now looking forward to reading tonight. Will be looking closely at DB's Waterloo scenario.

I agree with you that, in reality, this wouldnt take place.

Given the BS ships are 1/700 scale, has anyone re-worked the KMH movement, firing etc to use them?

I think it also depends on whether you are wanting to do historical scenarios or something fictional.

Great stuff there Dave
