\n\nSince its formation in 1975, the Napoleonic Association has acted
\n\nas an umbrella organisation that supports people with a common
\n\ninterest in the Napoleonic period, spanning the French Revolution
\n\nto the decisive action at the Battle of Waterloo (1793-1815).

Their scope ranges far and wide across the late 18th and early 19th centuries and throughout Europe, the Americas and the Middle East.
\n
\nOur members frequently publish their work in the association’s quarterly newsletter, The Adjutant. By nature and inclination researchers are voracious readers and collectors of books, and thus book reviews regularly feature in the newsletter too.
\n\n
In addition to our research activities, which have resulted in the publication of many papers relating to the period, we conduct lectures, study days and conferences.

\n
\nReliving the Napoleonic Wars in miniature allows players to challenge and experiment with 'what if?' scenarios, offering a different perspective and a practical approach to finding the answers to theoretical conundrums that would be unfeasible to address at full scale.
\n
Our Wargamers attend shows and meetings throughout the year and publish their findings, contributing to a very popular hobby worldwide.
