Had a recent SYW game with a player new to R & F: Prussians with 28 army points, Austrians with 32, 6' x 4' table. My opponent liked the rules for all the...
Hello Everyone. The new Gladiator figures are now listed on the Crusader Miniatures UK site. We hope to have castings on Tuesday. We have a special 'buy all...
The 1740 break point was basically to keep the rules out of the 'pike' era but there is nothing to stop folks using them for earlier battles - with just a few...
Just got my copy of Rank and File rules. Nicely produced and looks as if it will produce a good game. I am in the process of rebuilding a 28mm Russian...
I've thought seriously about it. I don't see any significant issues with using the Crusader rules. The great thing about the Age of Battles period (1550-1615)...
Has anyone tried using the Crusader rules for Feudal Japan? Each time and place has its on idiosyncracies. Would Crusader rules be a reasonable fit? Thanks...
Sounds very reasonable to me, we sometimes forget that we have to use our imagination a little when viewing our tabletop battles. We are having a Crimean game...
HI there, Yes - it does basically represent the cavalry flowing around the square - how much actual physical contact there is is debateable but after the first...
I don't have any plans to add to any of the older ranges at the moment. I know that I need to 'tidy' up a few loose ends but I doubt that will happen before...
Sorry if this question has already been answered but is there any chances to see a Thracian general pack released sooner or later. Same question for the nice...
Hello mark again today something cropped up in our game. A brief overview, i unit of cavalry charge a square, the first round of melee is a draw onto round...
Mark, I think your point about the Army Morale rules being suited to one's style of game are correct, and make framing rules a bit more difficult. My brigades...
On a separate note, how is progress on the ACW supplement? Written and mostly laid out but still needs to be proof read and 'tidied' up. I expect it will be...
Covering the SYW and Napoleonic I would say that medium is anything from 6 to 9 pdrs - heavy then being anything higher and light anything lower. As an...
Perhaps a little too complex, with three levels to consider? One of the great attractions of R&F to me is its functional simplicity. Also, I can perhaps...
Hi Mark, You might remember I posted a while back concerning artillery ranges. I am tempted to extend them a bit for my games, but to do this it would help if...
Mark, thanks for the post, those ideas sound like a good way of bringing games towards a conclusion when time is limited. I always enjoy games that have a...
This may be a bit rambling so anyone that doesn't care about the rules can stop reading now :-) After a few comments and a couple of recent games I think that...

As I mentioned in my last post, our group plans to have an AWI game of R&F next week. One of the things I want to do is extend the number of troop grades to...
... Hi John, Interesting rule for the Prussians. Most books mention that the Prussians fired faster than anyone else and some (if I remember correctly) mention...
Having read a description of a game on the OSW group, I decided to invest in a copy of the rules, and, after a bit of time making some markers and writing a...
Hi there, I am in the process of clearing out some space in my figure collection. There is an Excel list in the files section and also photos of everything in...
