On 31.3.2012 FiWA and Lord Nelson Pub Copenhagen are organising a unique naval game event at Copenhagen. The idea is recreate the battle of Copenhagen 1801 with table top wargame rules and 1:1200 model ships. The event is hosted in the centre of Copenhagen at the Lord Nelson Bar.

The game

The rule set which will be used for the event is “Form Line of Battle”.
We will not use the rulebook scenario for the battle, but a what if scenario which we have named “If the Swedish had helped the Danish “.
Each player will command 1 to 3 ships, depending on the amount of participants. One player from each side will be nominated as the fleet admiral.
The event will be open to the general public, and we will actively encourage spectators to participate. The media may also pop by.

Location

Lord Nelson Bar. Hyskenstræde 9. 1207 Copenhagen, Denmark. The venue is situated in the heart of the city close to all the major attractions.
