1812 The Retreat from Moscow - Ben's 1st game!

 



Just a quick update, sales of 1812 The Retreat from Moscow are going great and today a fellow blogger Ben has posted up a battle report of his first game, 

1812 Retreat from Moscow - Scenario 1 - The Barn at Dawn

Check out Ben's blog  Miniature Wars you may have missed or click the link below. Ben took advantage of the offer to buy both the rules and the 10mm Pendraken figures, he's been busy painting up the figures and making terrain over the last few weeks, so check out his post, he had some real hard decisions to make!!!

  5. Hi Ray,

    Brilliant news that sales are going so well! Ben's report was a cracking read—that snow-covered table and those 10mm Pendraken figures look dead sharp. Forcing players into making brutal, desperate choices really captures the grim reality of 1812!

    All the best, Andy

  9. Ben is a good ambassador for the rules, I like that in his write-up, his obvious pleasure in the game comes through.
