Paddy Griffith's book is good. But good enough for that price?! link |

And a used copy at that! If this is the same guy that wrote Battle in the Civil War it might be close. |

why buy that, when the new version is normal priced |

that book is not worth a penny… napoleonic wargaming is no fun ! ;) |

Funny thing is they are showing the cover of the edition that is still in print. Says its a paperback too which implies that it is the very same. I picked up the reprint from the History of Wargaming Project which can be had through Lulu IIRC, and then went on to pick up a copy of the original edition for a fiver. The reprint is very good but the photos didn't fare to well in that version. Not that it is a book you would buy for the photos mind you. As it is I now have the paperback which is a bit the worse for ware and a reading copy for quiet contemplation. Both are on the nightstand even now : ) |

Paddy would have thought that was very funny. |

Maybe if it came with some drop dead gorgeous starlet to read it to you. |

Never seen the book. Is it any good? I have to agree with WCTFreak. Napoleonic gaming in my experience has not been much fun. Too bad really as the period fascinates me. Al |

It is good, yes. It has simple rules for 1:1 skirmishes, brigade vs brigade, division vs division, army vs army, and a generalship campaign game. Regards |

I have ordered it and look forward to reading it (not the overpriced version but the re-edition) |

Damn I have an original 1970-80's version, I was starting to get excited, mind you as a 12 year old I disagreed with some of his rules and have scribbled in pencil my changes, which may knock a couple of quid off |
