Napoleonic Wargames Blogs I've seen in December

Bavarians, Bavarians, Bavarians!   

Amongst the best looking with amazing flags. The plastic Victrix are now for sale as vonpeterhimself  points out. The breakdown is as follows: 

36 x Marching units

16 x Firing units

4 x Command units

2 x Mounted colonels

all for £30  (just about 50p per figure - when was a quality 28mm figure last that cheap!) and they look amazing.   The balance of marching to firing could be improved - it feels like more skirmishers thane most will need. 

I also spotted some beautiful Perry Bavarians in their pre christmas napoleonic game:

With that fab falling figure from the pack of figures under fire.   The depth of figures now available in plastic 28mm is extraordinary - I was a delighted to see Prussian Reserve Infantry from Atlantic appear in 2021 : £25 for 60 rank and file (buy your command from others.)

Rules 

Dining Table Napoleon has reviewed Lasalle II, concluding:

this is an excellent game system, fully justifying the rave reviews I have seen of it. The turn play system – both sides interact without the use of phases or player-turns – is especially clever and works really well. There are intricacies which you can miss on first play, but generally the rules should be very quick to pick up

Other bits: 

Storm and Conquest blog has added some painted Mamelukes - very clean painting style. 

Cirencester Wargames Club put on a Christmas 1812 game, summer 1812.
