"Noli Illegitimos - A Napoleonic Kriegspiel" Topic

We played a Napoleonic naval Kreigspiel last week based on a magazine article written by Paddy Griffith. It was great fun, despite nearly melting my brain while I was trying work out how the wind was going to affect six different groups of ships.

Very neat--double-blind games are always interesting (except when they're not, of course).

And condolences on the passing of your grandmother.

I liked it, too. Gives me motivation to try it out on a bunch of unsuspecting gamers here.

In the past my experience with the typical multi-player British vs French battles is that the Brits never have the run of success that they did in history. Because the French players never act as their historical counterparts did. Matter of fact, the penchant here is for everyone to get within knife fighting range and hammer it out. Broadside to broadside. The destruction is usually quite impressive, with more ships than historically average blowing up.

Thank you Rob for your kind words.

It was an interesting game. Two of the players gave me the benefit of their thoughts in the aftermath.
