The Russians, by all accounts, were crammed into the space, and the Prussians were only deploying with very small gaps between battalions.<br />2. My problem with Zorndorf isn't the width of the deployment, but the depth. But unless you have very long arms (LOL) this is often the case with 28mm battles - the centre of a 6 foot table is as far as I can reach.<br /><br />The appeal of doing it in two halves, for me, would be the fact I could concentrate on just one bit of it and cut down on the playing time. Solo, this battle will probably take 7 or 8 hours to play. Oh, and I wouldn't have to use the drop leaf, so I could traverse the room more easily.<br /><br />It is a thought though, and one I shall bare in mind.<br /><br />Thanks DAF.<br /><br />James<br /><br />JAMES ROACHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04019888286247164276noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-946235325566947321.post-82920689647819461402014-12-28T12:35:13.566-08:002014-12-28T12:35:13.566-08:00Have you considered scaling down the game a little...Have you considered scaling down the game a little bit to create a little more maneuvering space? For example, if you expand your ground scale to depict the ground between the Zabern Grund and the Stein Busch and use only the Prussian left wing and the Russian right wing would make for an interesting scenario.<br /><br />Then you could do a second scenario with the Russian left and cavalry wings versus the Prussian refused right.Der Alte Fritzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01578422757511400566noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-946235325566947321.post-82492836005692244872014-12-26T06:30:05.394-08:002014-12-26T06:30:05.394-08:00Impressive as always, but I think I'd put my b...Impressive as always, but I think I'd put my back out trying to manouevre that lot;).

More than we had at our wedding by a considerable margin!
