To observe this anniversary in a fitting and proper manner, I am extending an invitation to the Central Michigan wargamers and other interested parties to attend a WATERLOO ROUNDTABLE at 1601 Harding, Lansing, Michegan on June 19th, 1968. Saturday afternoon and evening will be spent in discussion of the troops, weapons, uniforms and tactics of the Napoleonic are in general and Waterloo in particular.

To provide a focus for the day I am assembling a model of 'the field of' Waterloo. The model will be approximately 900 yds. to the foot on a 6' x 12' tabletop. The armies will be represented by brigade unit blocks and when deployed into action by 20mm figures at a ratio of 200:1. The action will be worked out first for purposes of study, critique, photo series, etc. If time and interest permit, this will be followed by a roster type game in an attempt to explore the alternatives of history.

Please let me know if you can come to share our conversation, books, pictures, music, miniatures.

I will have 54mm, 50mm, and of course the 20's in the model. If you will be able to take a hand in the game ... let me know your favorite "Waterloo General." In case of duplication, we will negotiate.

On the adjoining page appears a call to arms issued by Ted Haskell back in 1965 for the celebration of Napoleon's final and decisive defeat ( see "On Wargaming") To introduce the Haskell Archives, a truly remarkable collection of photos, cartoons, reports, and notes on the a history of wargames as encountered by the archivist, over recent decades, we thought a couple of Jack Bott's photographs of the resulting replay might be appropriate.
