In preparation for this project, we will be using many of the figures that were painted up for the Blenheim_2004 project. Where possible, we will substitute battalions for units of the same nation and color scheme as we already have. however, this game will se the use of the entire French Guard and Maison du Roi - here are 3 battalions of the 6 French Guard battalions - painted by Bruce Meyer.

To get an idea of the scale of the game involved, you can view the Blenheim game played in 2004.

The game will be played on a 36 ft wargame table at the Pacific Northwest's Largest wargame convention, Enfilade. In order to prepare for this mammoth task this page will serve as a reference point for our progress. 

 We have developed our own set of fast play rules that capture the feel and flair for this colorful period.
