I have recently moved up to Manchester and am trying to find players of napoleons battles. I am mainly interested in historical battles especially those of the...
Hi, We play a fair bit of Napoleon's Battles up at the Lancaster Wargames club. It 1 hour away from Manchester which may or may not put you off. We meet on...
What a shame. When I saw Lancaster, I thought you meant Lancaster, Pennsylvania. Until I saw Manchester! [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]...
I'd invite you to our club but North Germany is probably a bit far! A friend runs SANDA GAMES in Donnington, Telford just down the M6. They have regularNB...
Gentlemen, I have a question concerning rule # 8.2.5.1.2 under Formation Change Restrictions: While I understand why infantry and cavalry units in march ...
I think the main reason is that like the other formations the artillery is in almost a single file line. The switch from march column to limber represents the...
I think this is a good explaination. After all a normal French 8 gun field battery (with limbers and caissions) would occupy about 1.25 km of road space. Horse...
Hi there, what rules/systems do you play if you like Napoleon´s Battles, but you want to replay some smaller engagements and focus on the battaillon as game...
... you want ... game unit? From Valmy to Waterloo? Never played 'em myself yet, but these rules seemed to be taking gaming cons by storm just a couple of...
Does anyone have some good net sites apart from the usual histofig that has orbats for the french at austerlitz? or some good books for that matter. I have got...
Scott Bowdens EMPIRE is at 60:1. Units are battalions. You can actually move the light companies out front into skirmish. Batteries are made up of bases...
... horse batteries. Sorry, Dave. Can't provide you with a concise Austerlitz OOB source. However, as far as that mysterious horse battery goes; "...a full...
... actually move the light companies out front into skirmish. okay, I would normally Never raise the slightest objection to people's tastes. I appreciate...
Hi I liked "Austerlitz 1805" by Christopher Duffy. Published by Cassell Militarty Paperbacks in 1999 (and by Seeley Service and co in 1977) It has a great...
Curious Rolf, Empire is an absolutely superb game, built in several iterations through decades of design and testing; and can be used for small as well as...
Danny, the "NB for mini battles" concept sounds interesting. Would you consider shareing the how you do it with the rest of us? David ... From: Dodson, Danny M...
wow. Danny, your assessment of Empire/NB is pretty much spot on. I play NB 95% of the time now. My last game of Empire was last March and even our game's...
Also look at Bowden Napoleon and Austerlitz. Rather large size book, but with pages and pages of orbats. Sometimes broken down to specific times and list...
Ah, the Empire / NB debate raises its ugly head.... I may as well throw my two cents in. We played the various Empire revisions for many years. Mr. Bowden was...
All, The Version 2 playtest set of Volley and Bayonet takes the that game system from army/corps level down to the battalion/company level. This allows for a...
TV: The British and Hanovarians used British equipment (single, solid tial) painted a medium grey. The Prussians used Prussian equipment (double tail) painted...
Hi, try Chef de Battalion. Units are companies. It's a really good game, you are a battalion commander and it really teaches you Napoleonic small unit tactics....
<<<I kind of took offense to an earlier poster making a vague reference to "Master gamers" and "Intellect". For Jeebus sake its a game. I understood Empire...
I have to agree with Danny. Experience with the Empire rules counts, as it does with all games, including NB. From a personal perspective, I do not like...
