Welcome to Two Marshals - my blog about wargaming the careers of Marshals François Achille Bazaine and Philippe Pétain which covers the period 1831 to 1945.


The title is from Philip Guedalla's book of the same name which is an excellent read


Bazaine's career cover the Conquest of Algeria, the Carlist & Crimean Wars, the Italian War of Independence,   Maximilian's Adventure in Mexico and the Franco-Prussian War


Petain's career covers both World Wars. 


I do game other periods - Future War Commander in 6mm, Field of Glory in 15mm and anything else that takes my fancy
