The main emphasis for us were: - realistic command structure (we attempt to realize the chain of command and factors affecting on its interrupt) - realistic shooting system (we repeatedly simplified system down, from hardcore mathematical model (Initially it was percent based D20 system) to easy and fast system based on the use of D6 as the basic dice – we used statistics date of shooting in late 18th century by Daffy and Nafziger) - very important for us was a Morale system (influence of the external and internal factors during combat on units: stress, fatigue, support and so on) External and internal factors affecting the unit during the combat we presented as Points of Disorganization (DP), which completely replace the concept of the current state of a unit – more DP – less Organisation and lower efficiency. The Orders system created as the most friendly for players: with minimum number of restrictions, however, allows to obtain a very realistic picture of the battlefield. The scale – 1 figurine is 20 soldiers or 20 cavalrymen, 1 model of a cannon is 2 cannons, 1 mm is 1 meter, the system was created for the games about 40-50 units from each side that allows you to play most of the Seven Years War battles.

Rules will be done in Russian at spring 2014 and will be translated into English in the autumn-winter 2014 With Best wishes,
Vasiliy Levashov

Vasiliy/Sergei, sounds interesting. Its a great period and I'm yet to find a set of rules that really captures it for me. I have Prussians, Austrians and Anglo-Allied armies waiting patiently in their boxes for the right rules. When you've got the English versions of the rules ready be sure to let us all know. Nick PS. Photos look great, love the linear firing lines and the musket smoke from the volleys. |

excellent Vasiliy, been watching these with interest, using 28mm minis what is the ground conversion do you think?
If you need them proof read let me know
cheers

Very interesting would be interested for my 2014 project SYW in 10mm, Tally Ho! |

Hello Vasiliy, I have been following both blogs with interest for some time now and am really looking forward to your rules in English. My Russian is non-existent I'm afraid. Your games really look great with those long firing lines. Keep up the good work Regards Robert |
| WCTFreak | 20 Jan 2014 4:55 a.m. PST |

as you know, we are with Vasiliy from Soviet Russia, so .pdf version will be for free =)
If you want to help us financially – we will indicate you how donate us (all information will be in the rulebook). The paper book will cost only the cost of printing and postage only P.S. I'm Sergei =) |

Do the rules count figures or can we fudge that? |
| Narratio | 20 Jan 2014 10:19 p.m. PST |
@der voize – It's always good to see new ideas being thrown into the rule set melting pot. So I await their release with some glee. And my Russian is not too bad, having spent the last decade working in Sakhalin, Kazakhstan and odd parts of Siberia, so I'll be looking to grab your first issue. |
| der voize | 21 Jan 2014 11:43 a.m. PST |
@vtsaogames – if you want, but the main idea was about a lot of figurines.
In our rules we try to use Regulated numbers of soldiers in battalions @Narratio – it's seems to be a good idea (sergey.diment@gmail.com – if you want to talk about rules) |

You need to bring them to the SYW Convention for a game!

Are these rules made for 15mm figures or does it really matter what size the figures are? |
| Lancer58 | 01 Feb 2014 3:05 p.m. PST |
I have based my armies for 40/1 for DKK would I be able to double the ratio of your rules with no problem |
| der voize | 16 Feb 2014 6:33 a.m. PST |
no matter about what size of the fugures you will use… to Lancer: we are planning to make some add-on for 1:40 scale |
| Lancer58 | 17 Feb 2014 10:28 a.m. PST |
Excellent news, looking forward to getting these. What is the release date |
| der voize | 17 Feb 2014 1:01 p.m. PST |

Nice sketch. Is that a Prussian? If so, why does he appear to be carrying a French musket with bands on it? I ask as I don't know if they carried any or not. Also, doesn't the cartridge box strap go over all other equipment straps? I am guessing that other strap is his haversack strap. Shouldn't he also have a canteen strap or cord too, over his haversack strap, but under the cartridge box strap? Nice artwork though. :-) Neat photos, thanks for sharing. :-) |

to historygamer: you are totally right and we are wiring with our artist (hi is napoleonist so – we have some difficulties with him) )))) |

Sensational looking games. Often wished I focused more on SYW vs. Napoleonics. These pictures confirm it… I imagine the rules will be excellent also. Paul/Houston TX |
