This group is devoted to discussions surrounding COL (R) Bill Gray's AGE OF EAGLES Napoleonic variant of the very popular BOFF ACW rules. The rules may be purchased for $ 30 plus postage (and sales tax if applicable) via Paypal from http://ageofeagles.com/products.htm. The rules are also available from Deep Fried Happy Mice, Warweb and many other fine hobby shops. We are now into multiple print runs.
This Yahoo Group also provides continuous after sale support for AOE now that the rules have gone commercial. Thus the AOE Commercial Support Folder on this Group contains a Supplement sheet with rules corrections, clarifications, interpretations as well as some optional rules to enhance your enjoyment of the game. Also available for free download is the Players Aid Card for those who do not wish to rip the perforated card from their rules book, and a sample scenario for the 1814 battle of Craonne. All documents will be continuously updated.
