- watched the movie Waterloo
- read Clausewitz.
It made me reflect on how these four different ways of approaching history give us different insights and understanding of the events.
Mainly devoted to the "Bloody Big BATTLES!" wargames rules (BBB): scenarios being developed or playtested; games played; figures and terrain; and also to any of my other (non-BBB) wargaming activities. BBB is published by SkirmishCampaigns, and is available from dealers such as: Brigade Games; On Military Matters; Caliver Books; North Star Figures; Tumbling Dice.

Studying classic battles
I realised that in the space of a couple of weeks I have looked at four different classic historical battles in four different ways:
- visited Normandy
- wargamed Gettysburg
- watched the movie Waterloo
- read Clausewitz.
