Played in biggest game I've ever played over the weekend, a refight of the Napoleonic battle of Borodino on approximately the 200th anniversary. Amazing amounts of 28mm figures and players, I controlled some French divisions near the village of Borodino (the big church in the pics). Truly awesome experience.
Two accounts of the weekend:

Yep Russkies broke about 3pm on the second day! Setup started about 8:30 the Satruday, and first move under way by just after 11ish. Played until 6:30pm and then started again Sunday 8:30. Played in local club which is still undergoing earthquake repairs, but it still has a functioning bar and bistro!

Rules were Blackpowder by Rick Priestly which is simple and moves quickly, great for a big multiplayer game like this. It uses an initiative order activation system similar to Warmaster.
The Perry twins new plastic28mm Napoleonic sets are great value by the way.
