My name is Rafael Pardo, I live in Valladolid
(Spain) and this web-site is devoted to my main hobby which I started
around 1980: Wargaming with
Napoleonic miniatures. Is a very interesting and absorbing
world, being related with fields such as military miniatures (painting,
converting....) dioramas and scenics, boardgames and last, but not least,
military History.
I play solo (solitaire, alone) by necessity and
preference and my games are
usually projects based around a Battle or Campaign of the Napoleonic
era. After choosing the battle, I research for the strategical and
tactical situations, find the maps of the zone, paint the necessary 20-mm or
1/72 plastics miniatures (if not available from previous battles),
design the adequate table-top and eventually, I write a Scenario to fight the battle with
Napoleon's
Battles, the rule-set I use from the last ten years, now in
its 3rd Edition!.
So in this site you will find very different things: painting and
conversion of miniatures, the making of scenery items (buildings, rivers,
roads...), Scenarios for Napoleon's Battles, thoughts about solo
playing mechanisms, descriptions of a small number of
boardgames I use to and a
Cyberboard game-box for 'War to the Death" boardgame.
Watch my simultaneous wargaming project, the Campaign of Leipzig (autumn 1813).
The final goal is the joint use of Napoleon's Battles and the boardgames 'Four
Lost Battles' and 'Napoleon at the Crossroads' of the now defunct
Operational Studies Group.
See it at 'The Leipzig Project'
page or visit the
PROJECT
LEPIZIG blog.
Another Project going now is
ALKAID EDICIONES, an editorial
effort based around ALKAID
multithematic magazine (in hard paper!). Until now (june 2009), we
have published several Napoleonic papers devoted to the Spanish
Guerra de la Independencia (a.k.a. the Peninsular War), from authors such as
Rory
Muir, M.A. Martín Mas and
M.A. García García.
The magazine is accompanied
by an internet portal and some
FORUMS, one of these is devoted to
Wargaming with Napoleon' Battles.,
and other related topics (painting, miniatures, resources...). You
will be welcome!
At last, in the real world I am professionally, university professor
and scientist. My research activity focusses mainly on
environmental topics. I, like the vast majority of scientists, think
that global warming is real and that it is the result of our
activities and not a natural occurrence. There is no doubt we can
solve this problem and we have a moral obligation to do so.
Visit the
Inconvenient Truth site and take action!.
Enter, enjoy and come back again!
