Hiya,

Alexis from Baltimore Maryland. looking for Blackpowder epic waterloo

Thanks very much for the link.  They do look very good missions – very well balanced.  After the club’s current Market Garden campaign is over we can give them a try.

Hi Richard, sorry that there is not a simple answer to your question.  The Black Powder rules give you the flexibility to decide how to build your units so that you can use them if you already have a collection and what ever sort/scale of figures you have.  This does make it trickier for people starting out.

The BP rules don’t work in stands.  Th…[Read more]

Well, I am suffering from a poorly phrased question. What I am really looking for is how many stands per regiment. If 120 men make up a squadron, and let us say there are 8 squadrons,  how many stands represent that regiment? In many systems that would be 4 stands.

so where is the section on smoke?

well… its official…. you only get 1 blue card …

so yeah if you want to play VaS or CS in your campaign your iniative card deck gets bigger :
& either VaS or CS was a later addition and someone forgot to alter the number of cards in the rulebook on the number of iniative cards you get ….

Its an optional rule for large games… I’ll just add that if you put them line astern unless both ships are destroyers you can be touching base and be over 4″ away!!!  … so you’ll find a house rule is if ships are touching base then they are at point blank range / in proximity irrespective of actual measurement.

ps if you look in the ‘news…[Read more]
