Poor old Private Olivier, I never knew the Frenchies were a 'flogging' Army, I always thought that was just our lads?

You are right! Apparently it was abolished by Napoleon himself. Did not knew that. Thanks for pointing this out. I guess some commanders were practicing this anyway, but that probably tells something about the captain of the company.

1808 autumn - part one is finished! Private Leo and his comrades are given a crucial task to liberate some food from the enemy. ironicvolf.blogspot.com/2020/04/the-peninsula-adventures-of-french_19.html

I've changed the format of the blog a bit now so you can read story and the game text side by side. I think this works better.

The second part is hopefully coming tomorrow.

The part two of the autumn 1808 is here. Took some time to write it down, so much had happened! But I need to make those post shorter in the future.

Fun fact, it was illegal to eat horsemeat in France until 1866.

You are telling a wonderful story!

Not a next chapter now, I just finished a new encounter but it will take a day or to to write a post about it. But meanwhile I want to share counters that I made for the 95th.

The end of quarantine struck back with the vengeance, but that's not a reason to not play some games. Leho haven't head an adventure since the last part, but he got some facelift, see the picture. I would call this beta test version, but that will work for now. I already have some ideas for Star Marine version of the board, and I am flirting with an idea of making a Mouse Guard version of this. We will see, let's finish Leo's adventures first.

Thanks. After having two encounters with it I see a few flaws that need to be fixed but otherwise I think it came out pretty good, it certainly made my games play significantly faster. Also it seems the board increased my luck factor significantly The AAR is coming in the next few days.

A new chapter of Leo Solei adventures is here: ironicvolf.blogspot.com/2020/05/the-peninsula-adventures-of-french.html

I already played the next encounter, so hopefully it won't take long to make a new post.
