Last weekend I finally got the chance to run a game of the new Foundry rules. My thoughts and lots of photos are on my blog:

Thanks Dean. Very entertaining. I've read so many negative views of these rules here I was suprised they functioned at all!
Are the rules regimental scale? IE you seem to only have 3 or 4 units per Division.

Genrally they refer to divisions, and units are left – it would seem – somewhat abstract, but are referred to at least once as being brigades. However, The Peninsular British lists specifically state that the British armies represent Bragades, with units as Battalions; but also state that this scaling has no effect on the game.

In short, you decide. The army lists represent a Division, or A Corps, it is only the wording that changes in the mind of the reader.

I will play at the Divisional scale, with the individual units as battalions/regiments within a brigade; three or four brigades forming the tabletop division.

The are holes in the rules you could push a French Column through, but they are resolveable, and I think the game can play well…

Thanks Dean. Well you guys seem to be enjoying them so far.
Hope you post a follow up reort for the next battle that you've organised.
