I like the idea of recreating famous small battles which involve a struggle over a contested fortified position. One such conflict is Hougoumont which would be a nice miniatures project but I also thought it would be enjoyable to setup a scenario for C&C Napoleonics.
One exists on the website that supports the rules system.
Recreating this involved going through my expansions and pulling out the walled gardens. I was short of orchards as these are in Expansion 6 but substituted some fieldworks with forests which did the trick.
I think it looked good. Pity I didn't have time to play it as I needed to use the table for homeworking. With the current pandemic restrictions I've been working from home since March and this will continue indefinitely. This puts a limit on how I can setup and play any wargames or board games which is a bit of a shame. I need to get smarter at using the time better.
Interesting trial run.
