Glasgow will host the biggest ever historical tabletop war game to replay the Battle of Waterloo, it has been announced.
In total the one-off event, being held in Glasgow in June 2019, will see some 20,000 plus 28mm figures been fielded on a purpose built table recreating the Belgium battlefield.
The announcement of the charity event was made from the site of the 2018 Waterloo Uncovered dig in Belgium by lead archaeologist Professor Tony Pollard, of the University of Glasgow.
Now organisers are looking for war gamers, schoolchildren, members of the public, amateur artists, as well as military personnel and veterans to get involved in this massive undertaking.
In addition members of the public will also be able to get involved with both the war game and associated events leading up to June 2019.
