Today's game went well. The French lined up across the road between the two hills fighting a delaying action on the road to Dresden (Scenario 5 of the LG...
Cold Wars is this coming weekend. Most of the staff will be hitting the road to get things going for Cold Wars. I will be fielding any last minute questions...
Thanks for sharing, Tom. Cavalry can be (appropriately) brittle in Les Grogs; OTOH, if they get on your flank without a counter, they can really do damage...
We are playing somewhat in the sequence we get troops for. I'm getting my Prussians done at the moment, so we are looking at #4 as a good demo game at the...
I have a few questions about Les Grognards which I hope won't too simple-minded. Please bear in mind that I haven't anyone to play with and so can't ask a...
Is Turn 3 of the Piquet Demonstration Walkthrough posted anywhere? It's been about five years now ... I hope the turn is finally over, because I *do* want to...
Hi folks, Image a 12' x 5' table covered with a thousand Prussians, Austrians and Bavarians! This Wednesday we will be playing a Piquet Cartouche game on a...
Not having the first edition LG, but having first editions in a couple of other modules, I'd say the biggest difference is having the quick reference tables...
I'm putting on a 1745 Jacobite Rebellion FOB game on Wednesday and both sides are having forces fed into the battle as reinforcements on a 'special event...
Yes, that was a great help. Thanks! I am still unclear on what, besides randomizing encounters, ToW does. The official PK site forums didn't explain it and...
I typed too big an answer and lost it as my connection timed out. Guess I need to be shorter winded. ToW is a campaign system more than a game system. The...
Should be ok without modifying the decks. I don't know if you have more than 1 special event card in the deck - if not, only 1 occurrence may not work too...
The Ilkley Lads have recently been playing POA in preparation for our demo game at Triples in Sheffield this coming Saturday. We are doing a platoon scale game...
Sounds good. Anybody else going to make it? Eric Burgess Semper Invictus ... From: lahdooh [mailto:lahdooh@...] Sent: Sunday, March 09, 2008 8:19 PM ...
Point of Attack: Barrage uses a communications check on an Officer Check card. Perhaps something similar modifying your force's Other Difficulty die by the...
Haha! Thanks. That wasn't meant as a hint, but as a sincere bit of appreciation and desire for more information. If I wind up playing Piquet solitaire, I...
Ah! I grok it now. Thank you! ToW sounds like my cuppa. I suppose that my next question ought, logically, to be what exactly are "Grand Piquet" and "Command...

I usually allow reinforcements on once "x" number of Move cards have been played (like, the reinforcements come on the 3rd Move card pulled). If you want to...
Numbers of troops, that is. My friend picked up the module for me at Cold Wars, and it is in the mail coming my way now (hopefully). My question comes down...
... G'Day I doubt it's the typical thing to do but I'm building the British 11th Armoured Division (from Normandy onwards), for the Battalion level game. The...
Tom, As has been stated you don't need alot of space. At skirmish level your 28mm figures and odd vehicles will be fine. At platoon you will probably need a...
I'm a great believer in basic units being two levels below your level of command: if playing with squad units you'll want a company, playing with battalions...
Thanks, all. I may look at doing multiple scales as well, then. Use the big guys for low level games, and the FoW stuff for bigger games, just as mentioned....
I know I'm unusual in my WW2 scale selection, but I use 25mm for everything. We've been playing a lot of Close with the Enemy, and using my 25mm collection....
For me, at least at the moment, a large collection of 25mm is just not possible with family finances where they are. I was able to do full brigades in 15mm...
Tom, I play 15mm using FOW troops as it is a great compromise between size/price/space and availability. You can get your french and Japanese from old glory...
