What is Bloody Big Battles!
Rules for wargaming the Late Nineteenth Century with historical miniatures. Bloody Big Battles! (BBB) does exactly what its title says. It is intended for fighting the biggest, bloodiest battles of 1850-1900 in a manageable way. Specific design goals included:
to tackle the major battles such as Solferino, Gettysburg, Königgrätz, Sedan or Plevna, often spanning several days’ combat;
to fit them on a 6’x4’ tabletop;
and to fight them in their entirety, in a single 3-to-4-hour session, with 2-6 players (typically 4).
