Hey everyone, I got into the historical wargaming scene just recently because i got sick of the prices that games-workshop has. anyways i was looking at the...
Have you looked into FOW? That would be easiest transition for anyone from moving away from GW games and into historical games. The rules are formatted like...
i really want to learn either how to play 1943 or the ww1 version of the game. i really dont care about how smooth my transition is from the games workshop...
Hey Dean, For now I think the best way to run a simplified game of 1943 might be to just play the game using only certain features. For example you could play...
Thanks a lot Jim, I think that i will take out the command and morale testing. Really all that i want to do is have some infantry, tanks and artillery and then...
The best way to remember the way 1943 organization works is to keep in mind that the game is meant to re-create battalion level action. Each battalion in the...
Oop, sorry for the delay, I got caught out of town. For 1943 I usually use anywhere from a battalions of German against a regiment of Russians up to a...
I hesitate to ask but... In playing Republique, I can see different ways of interpreting the assault rules... can anybody help? Key Question: Can a regiment...
Charles, I suspect your thinking is in the wrong scale. Think in terms of each unit (regiment or brigade) being a collection of battalions. Each battalion...
... That's because they are all off painting pre-dreadnoughts. There's a challenge for the rest of you! David ... Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free. ...
Hi Charles, David pretty much covered it, but I figured I would add a few more notes on the subject. ... Grand tactically speaking, it is very Napoleonic. The...
Hmmmm, not sure where that came from. ??? Well, the frequency of various WTJ topics has always been rather varied, and not uncommonly centers on what is in...
Thanks, Jim, I now know the answer, but it means that Repubplique is off my list of rules to play! Any system that puts the entire fate of a substantial...
Jim, I think we touched on this on the old forum a few years ago but never resolved the question and it may bare on Charles' questions. I have always taken the...
I have played Republique for years with rule as Jim described it and it works very well. The die roll will affect a substantial part of your army if you let it...
Rick, You read my mind! I sense that these rules are superb, but the way that we have been playing them has the faults described earlier. Having said that, I...
There are actually quite a few things to mention that I will not have time for tonight, but I thought I would drop a few more notes. - The actual meaning of...
Just to let everyone know that I'm still busy, I thought I'd give a bit of an update. I've been working the past few weeks on the upcoming batch of 1/3000 ...
For those who did not yet hear about this, a while back some guys found a website in China which has been showing the steady construction of what appeared to...
Jim, I have a couple of design questions. 1. Why is artillery fire not modified by unit GRADE? 2. With many tactical nuances abstracted in Republique, why not ...
Hi John, I considered modifying the artillery fire by unit grade, but I decided against it for some reason that I can't remember right now! :o Hopefully I...
I have available the following items. All are 15mm Old Glory/Age of Reason 15mm AWI Figures. Shipping within the US is included in the prices quoted. I accept...
Hello all, I'm a long time wargamer of WWII and DBA but am just now endulging myself into Napoleonics despite all the people telling me not to get myself into...
Hello Justin, After years of wargaming I have stopped worrying about base sizes. Perhaps I should add that I am more a collector than a player. Anyway: I build...
Republique can easily be played with base sizes other than those listed in the rules, although if the alternative base configurations are too different you may...
I spent part of this afternoon watching a good sized NB battle and after observing a bit and making some measurements I think the single best adjustment to...
We are using NB basing for all our armies. We usually use 25/50 mm to determine assault contact ranges but with the addition that units in base-to-base...
Hi, I have a few questions on the 1943 rules that I hope some one can answer. In the fire rule section it says "+/- Weapon differential - For Infantry attacks...
