Approaching Napoleonic wargaming heaven

I stumbled across this marvellous promo on the Figurine & Stratégie blog, via a link on a publisher's website that I was checking for some information for a book review (the many digressions of the web).



Last weekend, in Paris, there was a two-day wargaming weekend involving only Napoleonic games. The focus of the weekend was the Hundred Days campaign, with games planned using rules and figures of various scales--even a boardgame.

I cannot find a report of the event, but there are a few photos (like the one below) on their Facebook page.


Hopefully more details will follow. I'd love to hear from any readers who know more—appperhaps even attended the weekend.

What a wonderful idea. It gets close to Napoleonic wargaming heaven!

  1. Hi!
    I had a look at the piccies - some good but most seemed surprisingly messy, although the players are obviously having fun!
    Best wishes,
    Jeremy

  3. It's a 2 days WE with only napoleonic games. We call it LEL (Levée en ligne) and it started last year for the first time.
    Our main problem is the lacke of space.
    (sorry for my bad english).
