Live Re-enactment of the entire battle of Waterloo this Thursday!

Forum dedicated to the Scourge of War Game set during the Napoleonic Wars. Scourge of War: Waterloo follows in the footsteps of its American Civil War predecessors and takes the action to one of the most famous battles in history. It is by far the most detailed game about the final battle of the War of the Seventh Coalition.

I think war game clubs up and down the country will be doing the battle, know my club is doing it in 28mm we are doing the whole 4 days qta bass, wave, and the big one, so depending how you do in one will effect how you play the next.

Thanks

It was a great show and great action.
Unfortunately, the volume was much too quiet for me, so that I have ended my session. [:(]

I agree with Templer, the sound quality was not good, not crisp and clear, especial not for the part of the game community not having English as their native language. Sorry to say, but many YouTube lets play video's have a much better quality. Its i.m.o. wise to give the next time more attention to the quality of your Twitch streams, these can make or drag down the product image.

I was able to watch parts of the broadcast, and enjoyed most of what I watched. I did have some issues with low sound volume, but it seemed to me to be more of a microphone issue, since I had no trouble with the volume when doing the digital replay. The volume issue was during a couple of interviews, and watching the miniatures.

Thanks for doing this!

I'm hoping that these might be put on you tube, or otherwise made available, as I wasn't able to watch the entire set of battles.

It was a bit hard to hear at times but overall I thought it went really well, flowed smoothly and was a great idea - well done to all the guys in Matrix.
