The "Austerlitz" wargaming club was born in 1990 in Moscow from the desire of a group of enthusiasts to study military history and art of the Great French revolution and the First Empire. The main object of our club is to wargame the real Battles of the above-stated period from 1793 till the last Battle of Waterloo. Now we pay special attention to the last Napoleon's campaign in Germany 1813. During last two years with the help of more than 5.000 figures our club developed gaming simulations of Lutzen, Dresden, Vachau, Dennevitz, Kazbach, Gross-Beeren, Liebertvolkvits and some minor engagements of this campaign. We are trying to create all armies of Napoleonic era in 45mm figures at 1/40 scale. Now we partly achieved this aim with: Austria, Bavaria, Britain, Brunswick, France, Naples, Portugal, Prussia and Russia. All members of our club involved in historical and military research of Napoleonic period to create figures in full accordance with military regulations and traditions and to develop gaming simulations according to tactics and strategy of the time. Moreover, some of our members are interested in the middle ages and the Seven years war. We will be very glad to see every Napoleonic gamer, historian and enthusiast among us. Join our club to create your own army of the Napoleonic wars! Also we want to create cultural links with all international clubs who are interested in. Welcome to "Austerlitz" wargaiming club!
