During the years of the Napoleonic Bicentenary I thoroughly enjoyed playing the battles on (very roughly) their 200th anniversary. As that run came to an end I decided to start up my own "decadal" sequence, trying to play 1 or 2 battles on their anniversary year (ie 1796 & 1806 games in 2016 and/or 2026 etc). It gives not only some shape to my gaming but also restricts my to buying books only for the games I'm fighting that year! I'm currently half way through the first cycle (and struggling to play the games), but hopefully I'll have time (i.e. life) to play through 2 or 3 cycles, maybe more?!
I've also included links below to Liphook games, and any other significant refights - so I suppose it's more a record of Napoleonic games I've played than purely a decadal one!
