I am sorry your Bavarians was handled so roughly their first time on a table. However as a side joke of the story when the unit was rode down they where placed by the registration table. There was at least ten people that asked if they where for sale after that. The Bavarians really look nice.l'Comte de Artoishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09518914142137712882noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3455080976364452183.post-67915023958949957332009-03-26T02:45:00.000-07:002009-03-26T02:45:00.000-07:00Thanks for the run down of the rules.

Combat is worked out by assesing threats against a command ad thee command reacting to the threat depending on how great it is. A very fluid and easy to understand set of rule tht give a good game. The only downside (for some, it does not bother me) is that there is little 'chance' in the system. A single variable of 0 to -5 in combat.<BR/>Cheers<BR/>SteveSteveIhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07872240161596231916noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3455080976364452183.post-80332271121895416812009-03-25T18:51:00.000-07:002009-03-25T18:51:00.000-07:00Yes, captain bill is going to do it.

One side goes then the other. Most of my time was spent with cavalry charges and reacts. I really liked the way the horses would become fatigued (blown) was their term. It was a brigade level game with written instructions with rolls determining when the rules would arrive but usually within two (2) turns. If you could remind me of the name of the napoleonics rules I could do a proper write up. Terrain really did not seem to matter. All Prussian units were treated as line, grenadier or guard. I was thinking the Prussian fussilier regiments should have been a little poorer but this was a brigade level game. Remembering more as I type. They were a nice set of rules and if they have a system for assigning your own points values to troops I would probably buy it.<BR/><BR/>thanks,Prinz Geoffreyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16409013870510548637noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3455080976364452183.post-68558592101032753392009-03-25T14:45:00.000-07:002009-03-25T14:45:00.000-07:00Nice write up, you mentioned the game played with ...Nice write up, you mentioned the game played with the guys who did a Napoleonc set of rules.
