Last night my Risk-figure early 18th century Swedes and Russians took the the field in a great game of Maurice. There were pictures! link |

I love what you've done with the Risk figures! |

Nice AAR. Yes Maurice can be a very fluid, twist and turn type of game. Agree nice work with the figures, hey they work! We also play scenerios set in the Great Northern War. Your Russians faired better that I do 98% of the time. |

That was a great write up. We should all have great games like this when we play. Matthew |

"Your Russians faired better that I do 98% of the time." I think the Russians have won every game we've played actually :) I'm still trying to work out the nest makeup for each army to give a balanced but interesting game. Although the Swedes have A La Baionette, it doesn't seem to give them enough of an edge in melee to make that their favoured tactic. What armies have other people used when playing GNW Maurice? |

The Zvezda GNW figures have always caught my eye since I've been interested in gaming this era on the cheap. Always boils down to how you want to spend your time and money, painting or playing. Love what you've done. |

"how you want to spend your time and money, painting or playing Playing, for sure – those two armies cost a total of about AUD60, and were assembled and painted at a rate of roughly one unit per day. So they were quick and cheap. |
