Great looking battle as usual, Keith. Your scope and scale are just right, looks very engaging. I love bridges, use them in generic scenarios, recently did Lindenau. A question: is there any place to buy V&B as a PDF download? Your write-ups, along with some others, have me interested. Bruce

Not as a PDF Bruce I’m afraid. A hard copy can be purchased from Test of Battle games in the US. testofbattle.com/drupal-4.7.4/node/27I am aware that some UK stores stock the rules, or have done previously. Make sure you get a copy of the second edition. Occasionally you see a copy of the previous version. The second edition has more Napoleonic scenarios, but also includes the rules for the entire period. I should add I’m not trying to convert people to a particular rule set. I enjoy the battles that Volley & Bayonet allow me refight on the table - be they historical refights or fictional encounters. They are for me a set that works very well and produce a realistic narrative that aligns well with the descriptions we have of many great battles. Further, they work well with 6mm figures! Yet we are fortunate that we have many rulesets that cater for players individual preferences.

Friday evening found a group of us gathered for another refight of Wavre. The other players hadn’t refought Wavre for many years so for them it was a fresh battle. A short summary of this refight can be found here: volleyandbayonet.wordpress.com/2018/02/09/a-return-to-wavre/Now, the terrain is packed away so further refights of Wavre will need to wait a few years...
