Hi Guys
just posted another MAURICE AAR:
link
A cold breeze swept across the valley floor.
The Elector is talking with his Regimental Commanders and RSMs.
"Today ve defend. I'm confident we we send ze Virginians packing like ve did last time ve met.* They have rebuilt their army however, and have worked on their Drill".
The commander of Prinz Peter's Cuirassiers spoke up;
"It will take more than fancy foot work to best us Sire"!
The Elector nodded as he looked past his officers towards the enemy forming up in the distance.
"We will let them come on and smash themselves on our Guns and muskets. Return to your regiments and prepare your men for the dance".


Comments Welcomed.
Cheers

Great looking game and the rules look like fun. I have them but haven't had enough time to read them throughly or play them yet.

Would they work for the French Revolutionary wars?

Yes! It would need some thinking about the different and emerging doctrines from Republic France (and others) and those armies who retained earlier linear doctrine.

Great BATREP Trailape!

Maurice (or Morris as some Aussies are insisting on pronouncing it – most unfoppish!) does make specific provision for the Revolutionary Wars, as our good Royal advises, including Infantry in Mass columns…

Unfortunately a little too radical for Riskovia or the Duchy of Sans-Coleur…
