Hello: I am a new member. My main wargeame interest is the SYW followed by the Franco Prussian war and make battles using Britsh Infantry of the Victorian...
I would like to clarify how these work when a movement reduction is specified. For example, if changing close order infantry from column to line, do you: a -...
Searched for Minden Rose on TMP and found a request for experiences of the rules. Unfortunately there was one prominent response which was a big thumbs down....
I was trained in the law when I was young, therefore tend to be verbose. Please excuse. I have two questions, the first about orders the second about the ...
Paul, I have only just started playing the rules myself, and so I am no expert. However, I think you will find the answer to your first question is in the FAQ...
Hi Keith I read that too. Wasnt worthy of a response, no matter how hard you try to get feedback for some reason people prefer to complain to someone else....
Thanks Keith: The answer to the first question is what I thought but I don't really like it. The answer to the second question is what I wanted . Pauk...
Didn't say it wasn't logical, said I didn't like it. So far all I have played is close order infantry vs close order infantry. At long range you can have I...
Hi Just posted some pictures of the French vs British in North America game Keith and I had earlier this week - The set up was as follows: British 5 Battalions...
Thanks for posting those photos, Barry. A good game. Just to clarify one point, I wasn't out manoeuvred, I just stuck my head in the noose like a damn fool! No...

Just a quick question 4 figs to a base fine. British Regts have 2 colours how would you represent this? a. only have 1 colour. b. 2 colours to front officer...
I intend to have a go with MR when I next host a game. I've held back so far because my existing 15mm 7YW "stock" is based in notional units of three stands...
Looking through the newly acquired rules - I was struck by strength of muskets at long range (4-8 segments) for a normal target you need a 5 or 6 to hit , at...
Hi Kelvin, have to admit I've never felt the need to do either. The effectiveness of muskets is significantly reduced at over half range in MR and it is...
So, a second go at "Minden Rose", having re-read them and sorted out where we had misinterpreted them (essentially we'd made artillery fire and musketry far...
Nice one Jeremy. I must admit I couldn't understand your problem with the first game! Thats a lot more units than I have available. Three hours is a pretty...
Hi Jeremy I would be intrigued to know a bit more about what you misinterpreted - incase I could make it clearer in any subsequent version of rht e rules. Glad...
Hello gents. I purchased a copy of Minden Rose recently and wish to introduce myself. I've been playing miniatures games since the early 1960's, starting with...
Hello Vincent Minden Rose is a nice set of rules but lacks the friction in command mechanisms as with LFS and the other Too Fat Lardies rules - I would welcome...
