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
finally I write a Scenario to fight the battle with Napoleon's
Battles, the rule-set I use from the last ten years.
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 last project, the Campaign of Leipzig (autumn 1813),
involving the joint use of Napoleon's Battles and the boardgames 'Four
Lost Battles' and 'Napoleon at the Crossroads'
Operational Studies Group as well as the painting of new miniatures.
See it at 'The Leipzig Project'
page or visit the

LEPIZIG blog.
In the real world I am a scientist whose research activity focusses 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.
