Has anyone tried out the quick play rules from the 2nd Liberators book (War in the South supplement)? Having reread them, I am thinking of giving them a go....
Digging this up from ages ago, having looked at the messages about muskets as well, would AB's Portuguese cacadores with musket work for these guys? Any...
Hi Phil: The uniform for the Cazadores de los Andes was "one of the most simple and sober of the independence period", according to Jorge Fernandez Rivas in...
Hi Nick: Short answer: in the scenarios in "The War in the South" and the 1st supplement militia units dress like their regular counterparts. Long answer: I'd...
Hi Everybody: I have a limited number of the artillery figures now available in the webstore. There's enough crewmen to go around but I suspect I short...
John, Basically the answer I hoped for. So militia is more a reflection of training than uniform. As to period, I am focusing on the 1816 - 1826 years. Nick...
I notice you've got short and long barrel 4 lb field guns. Any advice on which to use for what period / scenario. Or doesn't it make a difference? Steven...
No, it doesn't really make a difference. In fact, you'll be hard pressed to notice any difference between the short and long barrels unless you have them side...
... differentiates between different types of 4lbrs..nor should they Actually Shako I distinguished between 4 lb Foot batteries and 4 lb Horse Batteries. But...
Hi Steven: I've been going back over material the last couple days trying to get an answer to your question. I'm still working on it...there's a lot of...
John, A follow up question, I am just finishing up a Chilean battalion. Based on your response, should I actually replace the very napoleonic looking...
On the subject of mountain artillery, I don't think this will compete with what you're bringing out. Fantassin/Warmodelling has in their Carlist Cristino line...
Hi Nick: You do not need to swap out your Chilean elite companies. Like most of the colonies they were actually reconquered by Spain after their initial...
Hi Phil: It doesn't compete at all; it compliments what I've put out. I didn't have transport or limbers sculpted so these figures would be perfect to fill...
John, Thanks for the detailed response. I have to say you must be THE most knowledgeable guy in the general wargaming field, in any subject area. Nick...
I'm still looking for a set of rules that has a figure scale that wont' bust the bank. General de Brigade uses 1:20 so a battalion stripped of it's flank...
Have you looked at THEY DIED FOR GLORY? The figure ratio is 1:50, but you can use a 1:25 ratio if you roll one die for each live artilleryman in a battery...
Hi Roger, I think I would like to try the "Liberators" battle scenarios using my own rules. I have two versions, one is casualty-driven and may address the...
Mike Those look like OG 10s in the picture on your yahoo site? But I guess they are Baccus 6s or H&R 5s. You must not be in the Staes if those are H&R. I...
Robert I will try to find my copy. I'm not quite sure how FPW rules would work. In remember two sizes of batallions one French and one Prussian. You really...
Roger, That`s right, I`m in North Devon UK and the figures pictured are 5mm H&R. There a few pages in each document but you could be a bit selective and just...
Robert I'm still looking for my coby of TDFG, but I have to think about a couple of things and so consequently do you. :) I can remember escort squadrons and...
Roger, Â Â These odd units are one of the reasons I suggested using a 1:25 ratio. Â Â A battalion of 200 men (4 companies) would translate to four 2-man...
John Found the rules. The Tables. It needs all new tables. And what's the ratio of dice to figues? And the artillery is all different. Groan. Oh the bad...
Bob, I own a copy of TDFG including the insert that was in the Courier many, many years ago. It's a good set of rules and I think you will do a good job on...
