Sorry for the cross-post between groups, but I wanted to cover my bases. What do you think of it? How's it play? I am familiar with LFS, how does it compare...
I haven't played it yet, due to other periods taking priority. They certainly look interesting on the read-through, but I haven't played a game. Jonathan ... ...
Thanks for your reply. The reason I ask the question relates to section 5.2 on page 10 of the rules, which states only the artillery unit needs to be deployed ...

Phil, I've only played a few actions, and solo at that, so I may have the wrong interpretation but I've found that "14.1.4 Brigade/Regimental moves" works well...
Nick, We tend to take a "common sense" approach to the game, moving Brigades on 1 order where all are close and following the same action. Sometimes you cannot...
Hi Graham, you may play this either way, as I have found people fall into one of two camps: - the sighting of enemy troops will force a more considered, and ...
Hi all, the original intention behind the inter-battalion distances, brigade moves and PIP system was to "encourage" players to use historical tactics...
Hi all, many thanks for your recommendations on TMP. I've no idea if anyone has bought the rules as a consequence, but we've had a splurge of people join the...
Max, Absolutely agree, LFS does require you to use historical tactics and it is easy indeed to get into trouble with large Austrian & Russian formations. Like...
Well it was me that started the TMP topic, I've joined this group (obviously) and ordered the rules two days ago so hopefully they'll be with me soon. So hello...
... You'll find we're a friendly crowd (except on the issue of how many grenadiers can form battalionsmasse on the head of a pin). All sorts of questions are...
... And generate more pips. I have a question to all concerning my Bailen scenario. In that I have only two Spanish officers, Reding and Coupigny. They have a...
Nick A great reply and I'd heartily second your thoughts. Daz has provided a great framework for what feels to me like a Napoleonic battle whilst keeping it a...
Mark, Welcome aboard. I'd second Vincent's recommendation on reading through the "Thoughts of Chairman Daz" document. Very useful document and I have fitted it...
But battalion-masse was never the issue the real problem remains divsion-masse... I'm pretty sure the discussion bogged down on matters of who was supplying...
Hi Vincent, I also find this a tricky one to get right. Probably because in most books I have there is no mention that "So and so gave temporary command of the...
Not an uncommon situation but I agree with Daz that there never really seems to be any indication of the senior brigadier stepping up...probably too many cases...
Well the rules arrived a couple of days ago and I've had a read through. I like a lot of the ideas & concepts in the rules (especially the command and control...
Glad you think they look promising. Indeed there are issues with clarity but on the whole they are clear enough to play :-) Enfilade and Overlap are...
In fact for your first game or two I'd recommend changing from semi-deployed to deployed blinds before getting closer than 24" to an enemy blind, I've seen far...

Hi Daz Thanks for your reply. There does seem to be a number of areas in the rules where the player might interpret the rules in more than one way. With a...
