Very nice, down in South Somerset we are currently busy with the Napoleonic adaptation you mention. Good stuff and at the end of next month we are putting on a modest 1809 game at Fisticuffs. Tally Ho! |

It staggers me how people take a set of rules that is beautifully simple and gives a good game and try to stuff it full of "period feel". Result, which we all learnt about 20 years ago – more time to get the same result. |

A great game! And really, your terrain is excellent, donīt see where you need to improve. |

Thanks all for the nice comments :-) @pegasusfridge: To each their own
although in the case of the modifications suggested by the "Contemptible Little Wargames Club" I think they are clear that they are not looking to change the core mechanic
they clarified some of the fuzzy parts of the rules and adjusted some of the things that I find a bit annoying with the basic rules. Also, when you use the rules for several periods, as for me, I want a little extra added to each period
but that is as we all know, personal preference. I for one am happy to give their modifications a try. That all aside, one of the things I love about BP is that it is just like riding a bike
you really don't forget it
a couple of turns and you are back in the saddle. |

I must admit that the amendments for black powder look more like a rewrite at 30 pages! Nice looking game though. Mike |

Lol, yes :-). Still worth a read though
some interesting things in there
I like the change for disordering units
happening on the morale roll instead of the shooting roll. |

Can I ask what size the table is? Just upgrading to 28s from 15s and wondering if I have room. Mike |

The lances are waaaay too long. Having said that, beautiful figures, with something unique! A war room with a full bar! Outstanding! |
