Wow! Eleven months to go until the Big Battalions game, and by my reckoning we already have over 2,500 figures committed to the game
And this only counts the figures from Bill M, Robert P, and myself (Ed Y)! There are actually more generals than shown, which number represents many brigades are present.
On the Emperor’s side of the ring we have:
Imperium
Gallia
M'Uedail
Hesse-Homburg
Imperium
Gallia
M'Uedail
Hesse-Homburg
And in this corner, weighing in for the Elector:
Germania
Hesse-Fedora
Brittania
Weisspferdheim
There are at least three other people who have committed to bringing a brigade-sized formation as espoused as a BAR starting force. Once I get their particulars and loyalties, I will update the totals.
I also plan to add a section to the blog showing the various factions and their military contingents.
How can you help?
First, if you want to join, let us know via the blog or email. We are completely, 100% open to a firm "maybe." However, I would prefer to keep the army lists to those that are ready to march, and not still naked lead. Believe me: I could double the numbers above with my lead alone!
Second, I would like to begin hearing ideas for how to tie our game (and any games leading up to it) together with those put on by Mssrs. Purkey and Protz, and the "UK Big Battalion" festival. This does not need to be extremely detailed or convoluted, but I think we could have a lot of fun doing so.
Finally, for those in the San Antonio area, I will put on a BAR game at ChimaeraCon on Saturday, March 15th. Currently I have a placeholder named "Battle of Sittangbad" but that is not necessarily the scenario. If you think you might be interested, let me know so that I can plan accordingly for a table and troops.
