Hello! I just joined your list and thought I would say "hello". My name is Larry and I live in South Central Kansas, USA. I have been, more or less, a wargamer...
Hello Again! I'm looking for 'mikechrismartin', the owner of the "Mike's Von Moltke album". I really liked your photos, but I have questions in regard to the ...
Hi Larry. Glad you liked the photos. If you join the Yahoo group..Nova Scotia Historical Gamers you will find in the photos section four folders of photos of...
Heya Mike - Thanks so much for telling me about your other Yahoo group! The pics are awesome!!! I got a jolt, and laugh, when looking at the Nap battle and...
Hi, I played in an ACW game today at a mini-convention in Wauconda, Illinois, and had a great time...commanding part of the Iron Brigade certainly did help....
Chris, glad you enjoyed the game, no scenario book, I like to make up historical scenarios, this was the Battle of Brawner's Farm or Groveton. It was the...
Hi Larry. The Nap Minis are a cobination of mine and a friends. There are many OG, however just about everything under the sun in 28mm is represented. Mike...
I have gotten extremely low on funds and am basically looking at going broke by December unless I bring in some money fast. As such I am offering 2 Napoleonic...
Hello Nigel: We had our first AWI game yesterday using the Fredrick version. We have played AWI before but using the Napoleon version. The group had a few...
Mike, 1. Wheeling: I consciously slowed the wheel in line to reflect the rigidity of the linear tactics of the period. Maintaining order during formation...
Thanks Nigel. I appreciate your comments. I also noticed the system automatically forms the British Infantry into three rank lines and the American into two....
Mike, My understanding of the adoption of two or three rank line by the British relates more to Howe's infantry tactics. These were developed to accommodate...
Nigel/Mike Hope you don't mind me butting in. Have been meaning to ask you about the limitations on wheeling myself re. Marburian. Like the 'house' rule idea...
Just wondering if anyone has used this rule set effectively for Napoleon in Egypt, or the South American Wars of Independence? Or does C&GII really only work...

Nigel, I haven't tried the AWI system yet as I'm still trying to paint enough Perry figures for a decent game, but I would like to follow up on these ...
I have used the Napoleonic system with a few in house variables to play games of the Mex-Am war 1846-1848. Which when you look at it. Was really a continuation...
For those that are interested in this subject there is an extensive discussion going on at TMP. http://theminiaturespage.com/boards/msg.mv?id=126764 Mike ... ...
Chris/Jon, Most informative discussion...... For me the bottom line is that it seems essential that I introduce the two rank line for the Crown. But it has to...
Nigel, The changes that you propose would appear to address any problem very well. We never saw British troops against French in the open field in the AWI but...
Nigel, Perhaps you remember that when I ordered C&G for Napoleonics recently, I asked about a program to print number tags for C&G units. You said that I...
Hi Nigel. Those sound like good changes. Will the British two rank line be the same as the American one? I would assume they are essentially the same. Thank...
Nigel, Sounds like a reasonable solution...giving more options is always a good thing...hope you can get that modification done in time for Cold Wars...I just...
Hi Nigel, I was just reviewing your description of the use of open order troops. You suggest the primary purpose is to defend difficult terrain features on...
Ed, I'm sure that the tech-heads at Microsoft could integrate the software of C&GII and MS Excel - but I have to admit it's a little beyond my talents. But in...
All, I've just uploaded to the Files/Napoleonic Stuff, two excel files. One has ID tags suitable for 25/28mm figures, the other suitable for 15mm figures. ...
Chris, Troops in open order [or perhaps we should now refer to it more as 'extended' order] would still be at a grave disadvantage if attempting to combat a...
Thanks Nigel. That makes sense and conforms with my experience so far. Assuming regular light troops who can form in either closed or open order, what...
Chris, Troops in open or extended order should never be considered the equivalent of close order troops. They would not have been expected to hold up before a...
