I agree 99%.

But would rate the Jäger much higher than Voltigeurs. They are the original Riflemen, not the Sharp copy.  😉

Voltigeurs are equal to the Light infantry battlions- And the Grenzer are a mix etween Light and Line.  By 1814 all the areas lost to France and the new recruits hated the French a lot.

Not to forget, 1813/14 th…[Read more]

wow, I can’t believe Warlord is pushing this mat via email even though its inaccurate.

I do have the Gettysburg cigar box mat, but that was designed specifically for a different ruleset.

A) target is to get 5 or more… so a 4 will give you the scouting point.  So if you get 1-3 re-roll the dice… if you get 1-3 again hard luck no SP for that ship.

B &C)A ship is scouting, so not available for the start of the battle, irrespective of if it gives you a scouting point or not.  The only way to return it to your fleet is with e…[Read more]

Hi Arcole – it’s interesting that such a major force in the wars doesn’t have a supplement yet.  There have been some plastics out for Austrians for a bit now and so with more figures on the table I expect we’ll see some unofficial lists from people soon.  My own view is probably biased by being brought up on Bruce Quarrie’s Napoleon’s Campaigns i…[Read more]

However, in the scenarios from the book, most units are set as “standard” size (i.e. not tiny, small or large), and have a stamina value of 3, even where…[Read more]

Hi Arcole – Do you mean unit size in terms of ‘small’, ‘ regular’, and ‘large’ or in terms of unit frontages, over perhaps figures?  Like all of the BP games the key things is that units of the same games size (‘small’, ‘ regular’, and ‘large’) have the same frontage in both armies.  How many figures you use in a unit is probably dependent on the…[Read more]

We used BP quite a lot for 15mm Naps and ACW.  We’ve halved the number of inches (perhaps some club members don’t have rules with centimetres? 😉  ). We have never really worried about the relationship of move / weapon ranges and unit frontages.   The key thing we’ve tried to do with unit frontages is have the two sides have the same basic fr…[Read more]
