It was a lucrative month in terms of historical wargaming. I was able to play a large refight of the battle of Eylau, along with a few “pick up” games of “Valour & Fortitude” with my 10mm Napoleonic figures. I plan on posting some photos from the Eylau game and a battle-report from the V&F game soon.

According to my 2026 Wargaming Schedule, next month (March, 2026) is “Cold War” month and I am going to run some experiments with the US Army’s old “Dunn-Kempf” rules and see if I can bring them ever-so-gently into the 21st century with some standardization and streamlining. I may post some ramblings about that soon and a Quick Reference Sheet for future games. March will culminate in a large “Fulda Gap” styled battle with the old US Army H or J-Series MTOE (Modified Table of Organization and Equipment).

Here are some pictures from recent games:

So while I’ve been playing mostly Napoleonic games this month, I’ve also been continuing on with re-building my 20mm force once my son expressed interest in playing “Bolt Action”. Since Santa got my son his first pack of 1/72 scale toy soldiers this past Christmas (Italeri American Paratroopers) and 20mm was my first-ever scale going back to when I was 12, I decided we would play BA in 20mm / 1/72 scale and I’ve started building a German PanzerGrenadier platoon next to Andy’s 101st Airborne troopers. Here are some pictures so far of the progress:

Anyways that is all for now. Stay tuned as a Battle Report is coming soon. I may also post a Napoleonic Scenario (Lindenau, 1813) for Valour and Fortitude next.
