Not quite a battle report but just a few photos of a 6mm Napoleonic battle of Salamanca put on at Partizan. Rules very simple 1 page double sided adapted for quick play.

Hi, Ran a solo battle of Hastings in 6mm with Kallistra hex system at the club the other night for a new player using all basic rules, seemed to work well with very few decisions having to be made for the "opposition" forces. think Paul is going to put up some info later.
