NAPCON 2009

Well this year saw the Taupo Grenadiers host the Annual Napoleonics Event in Taupo NZ on the 11th-13th September.

I decided to put my hand up to organise this event, and I enjoyed every bit of it. So what did we have on show:

6mm Napoleonics
15mm Napoleonics
28mm Napoleonics
Napoleonic Naval (1:1200)

The rules we used were for the 15mm were an addaptation of In the Grand Manner as well as General de Brigade.

I floated between running the 15mm guys, and the 6mm. We ran a semi-fictional campaign (Just ran out of time to write up the fluff). Points were awarded for:

Battalions in Retreat (As soon as it recieves a retreat order)
Battalions in Rout
Brigades Broken
Generals Lost
Secondary Objectives

Players were also awarded points individually for Victory / Loss in a game, votes for painted army, votes for best oponent, and most napoleonic.

Before I start to post the photos, just a couple of thanks:

Nic and the team @ Eureka Miniatures for there ongoing support from year to year
Craig @ littlmenbigbattles for supporting the event
Steve @ Taupo Hobbies also supporting the event
Ken & Richard @ Battlezone also for supportint the event.

But the event could not have gone ahead without the support of the gamers.

It will take me a while to upload the photos, so I will do this over a series of posts

Thanks for looking
