We’ve been hard at work to get our two battalions of 95th riflemen together for Waterloo Replayed: The Great Game next year. This involves something like 150 individually based riflemen, a gargantuan task for our HQ store team, so we’re going to need a little bit of help!
We need you to come down to our store and paint some miniatures for us! You’ll be contributing to a wonderful cause, and get the opportunity to become one of our battalion’s Chosen Men!
Will, one of our brilliant volunteers, has written a painting guide for everyone to follow. He’s an expert on all things green-jacketed and has produced articles on them for us in the past.
All you’ll need is a bit of enthusiasm, and we can supply the rest. Just give the store a call and they’ll have everything ready for you.

Take part in the world’s largest wargame!
Next summer, Warlord Games will be involved in the largest tabletop wargame ever, as part of the Waterloo Replayed project. Collecting together over 20,000 28mm miniatures, the event seeks to recreate Napoleon’s final battle using our excellent Black Powder ruleset.
THE GREAT GAME – WATERLOO REPLAYED
This is a one-off event in June 2019 in support of the charity – Waterloo Uncovered – which will set
a world record for the largest ever historical wargame in 28mm.
An application has been made to Guinness World Records to make this official.
The game will take place on the 15th and 16th June 2019 at University of Glasgow, Kelvin Gallery, using the award-winning Black ‘Powder rules. The Great Game is running in support of the Waterloo Uncovered charity that Warlord Games has been pleased to help since the Waterloo bicentenary.
We will also be helping to put on demonstration and participation games of battles in the British Isles, from the Roman Invasion of Britain through to the Battle of Britain.
The team at The Great Game are keen to get volunteers and gamers involved in their record-breaking attempt. Please contact The Great Game directly if you would like to get involved or offer your support – enquiries@waterlooreplayed.com
Join the British Line at the Battle of Waterloo!
