Hi, Gentlemen: We are working in a (yes, one more) new set of Napoleonic rules. We call them "Countdown to Victory", making reference to the way the time flows during the gameplay, but the term "Countdown" seems too modern…and American English too, isnīt it? Can you suggest a more appropriate title in this time frame, please? I would prefer a more British expression, if possible… Thank you in advance |

Scottish rather than British but how about…. Daunder to Victory. "Daunder" is Lallans (one of the two Scots' languages) for "wander" or " meander". |

At present in my collection I have perhaps 100 Napoleonic rules collection, NOT counting multi-period/generic rule sets like Black Powder and Volley & Bayonet. You might browse there to make sure any ideas are not too close to titles already taken: TMP link |

Close up on the colours.
That English enough?
I was working on a set of rules that have since been abandoned. The title was Bonaparte Waltz. Feel free to use it. If you do, I'd like a copy of the rules. |

EMPEROR are taken, Viper911. Long time ago. Viper911 did not suggest "Emperor". He suggested
"When the Emperor rules" or
"The Emperor Rules". so no conflict of interest there. Similar situation would be the two sets of rules:
"Black Powder" and
"Black Powder Battles" |

"The Legacy of the Empire of Napoleon's Battles using Black Powder with Columns, Lines, and Squares Across a Field of Battle from the Perspective of a General de Brigade in 1812- 2nd edition" Would be a great title! |

EMPEROR are taken, Viper911. Long time ago.I'm interested in this – can the name really be "taken" when no rules have actually been published under that name yet?

How about, "Here's another set of Napoleonic Rules." Sorry, but it seems there's a new set out every week. Not your fault of course, but, as a community, we have to be hitting overload. |

The word 'countdown' may have originated in America, but is in common use in Britain. We even have a popular TV quiz called 'Countdown'. It doesn't sound very Napoleonic, though! How about "The March Of Time", or "Time Marches On"? Suggests chronological flow and a military vibe? |

Why not use Cambronne's answer yelled at the British at the end of the day ? "MERDE !" |

Mark, Just to remind you that owing to a similarity in title to some other rule sets that have come along more recently "Grand Manouevre: Black Powder and Blue Steel Napoleonics" on your list is now called Grand Manouevre. Regards, Mike |

@ Milwr Bychan I didn't say it was used in the Lowlands. I said it was from the Lallans' language. The word is now used in Australia (by me) which doesn't mean it's Australian. |

Why do people think there are too many rules available – surely that is good for customer choice. Do these same people moan and complain about how many cars are avaiable, yet are happy to buy/drive one them selves. Me, I am always open to another set, as it may spark something in me – ie Blucher. Still pondering, but I like the ideas behind it. Very different to BP, which I now play, which is a development for me from GdeB, which took over from F&F Naps and WRG before that. So bring it on. As to names – anything too gimmicky puts me off, but YMMV. Sam has used Lasalle and Blucher, but there are others to choose from if you want to go the "generals" route. |

Thank you for your support, Marc (and the rest of you, of course ;) The ruleset are,somehow or other, like the miniatures: You can choose Perry, Warlord, Front Rank,… but I wish I could see a lot more brands from which to choose! |

Dammit, missed the cutoff. "In the Same old Style" would have been my choice, if it's an English slant you;re looking for. |
