Anyone else see this? One set covering the Peninsular campaign in Spain… the Brits, the French, the Spanish, and a host of smaller nations. The other covering the continental armies of Europe; namely Austria, Russia, and Prussia. Given the quality of the first set, that sounds lovely! |

Yes saw this as I received the email from Sam yesterday. No early Prussians though. :-( |

OK you jokers! How about letting the rest of us not on this mailing list in on what this all about! Not everyone lives in the USA you know and I suspect its only those in the US that are on this list, or maybe those buying direct from Sam. Are they generic cards, or linked to a Campaign, or whatever – there's nothing on the Honour Website other than vague mentions like this one! |

Gotta be on the Blucher forum and mailing list. Well done Sam, I will order both sets. They are generic cards that will have all you basically need, you fill in the Corp and Div info based on the scenario played. |

Ah! Listed under the "Other" section – naturally! I always look under "Other" – Not! |

Straight from the Honour forum (and answering that "early Prussian" question from VonBlucher): "The Peninsular War set will include the French, French minor allies, British, Spanish, and Portuguese. The Continental Armies set will include the Austrians, Russians, and the (late) Prussians. And if these sell well, one final release could include the Ottomans, (early) Prussians, and late-war French. The concept is that the cards are linked to the army-building system in the Blücher rulebook. Thus unit IDs are left unspecified (note the shaded area where the unit's name can be written-in, and the blank Corps ID banner.) Thus you can use the cards for any historical scenario or O.B., or for your fictional Scharnhorst-based games. One new feature on these cards, not present on The Hundred Days, is the points-cost (in the coin, upper-right corner), to make army-building super easy and fast. Additional cards will feature all the CinC and Subcommander personalities from the book's lists, plus cards for things like Spanish Guerrilla effects." |

Excellent news. That solves my local group's quandry of minis or not. |

I managed to miss this on the forum – and didn't get an email. Has a date been announced when these might be available? Thanks |
