The Canadian Wargamer Podcast Episode 20 With Our Guest, Glenn Pearce

In Episode 20, Mike and James speak with Glenn Pearce, the Dean of Canadian Napoleonic Wargaming.     Glenn is the mastermind behind what may be the oldest Napoleonic miniature wargaming group in the world, based out of Toronto, Ontario.  Glenn describes how he and his group made a big decision to go small and only game with 6mm figures.   We also discuss Glenn's work with Baccus as a rules writer, with one set (Ruse de Guerre) published and another on WW2 divisional plus battles in the early stages.  In the second half, James and I talk about a new Napoleonic STL Kickstarter, as well as how darn needy Austrian armies can be.   Our Guest: Glenn Pearce, Napoleonic Miniatures War-game Society of Toronto: https://www.facebook.com/Napoleonic-Miniatures-Wargame-Society-of-Toronto-100470888212245/ Glenn's Ruse de Guerre rules: https://www.facebook.com/Napoleonic-Miniatures-Wargame-Society-of-Toronto-100470888212245/ https://www.wargamevault.com/product/206835/Polemos-Ruse-de-Guerre George Jeffreys, Variable Length Bound Wargaming: https://groups.io/g/vlb-rules Glenn's Contributions to Our Virtual Library: Cowpens 1781: Turning Point of the American Revolution, by Ed and Catherine Gilbert https://www.amazon.ca/Cowpens-1781-Turning-American-Revolution/dp/1472807464/ref=sr_1_1?crid=3EGB5647J9VO1&keywords=cowpens+ed+and+catherine+gilbert&qid=1670877727&s=books&sprefix=cowpens+ed+and+catherine+gilbert%2Cstripbooks%2C88&sr=1-1 Napoleon and Grouchy: The Last Great Waterloo Mystery Unravelled, by Paul Dawson, 2017. https://www.amazon.ca/Napoleon-Grouchy-Waterloo-Mystery-Unravelled/dp/1526700670/ref=sr_1_1?crid=17SI78IMMDRD2&keywords=napoleon+and+grouchy+dawson&qid=1670877849&s=books&sprefix=napoleon+and+grouchy+dawson%2Cstripbooks%2C95&sr=1-1   Napoleon and Austerlitz: The Glory Years 1805-1807 (1997), by Scott Bowen https://www.amazon.com/Napoleon-Austerlitz-1805-1807-Napoleonic-Research/dp/0962665576   Crisis on the Danube: Napoleon's Austrian Campaign of 1809 (1990) bj James Arnold, https://www.amazon.ca/Crisis-Danube-Napoleons-Austrian-Campaign/dp/1557781370/ref=sr_1_1?crid=3G03ONJDQDTS5&keywords=crisis+on+the+danube&qid=1670878174&s=books&sprefix=crisis+on+the+danube%2Cstripbooks%2C85&sr=1-1   Battle Tactics of the Civil War, Paddy Griffiths (2014) https://www.amazon.ca/Battle-Tactics-Civil-Paddy-Griffith/dp/1847977898/ref=sr_1_1?crid=9XTPGDFAYY7U&keywords=battle+tactics+of+the+civil+war+paddy&qid=1670878285&s=books&sprefix=battle+tactics+of+the+civil+war+paddy%2Cstripbooks%2C83&sr=1-1   The Anatomy of Victory:  Battle Tactics 1689 - 1763 by Brent Noseworthy (1991)   Other Stuff That We Mentioned:   Jon Hodgson backdrops: https://www.patreon.com/jonhodgsonmaps Lucas Luber, Alps Aflame Kickstarter: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/pianowargames/the-alps-aflame Piano Wargames: https://pianowargames.de Closing Music: Blue Bonnets Over the Border (Quick March of the Toronto Scottish Regiment) https://youtu.be/j-gaPwPAU7g Contact Us (We Love Hearing From You!): Canadian Wargamer Podcast Facebook Page: https://www.facebook.com/canadianwargamerpodcast Mike: [email protected] @MarshalLuigi www.madpadrewargames.blogspot.com James: [email protected] @JamesManto4 www.rabbitsinmybasement.blogspot.com
