One of our new members uses a heavily modified set of rules based on Black Powder. Keen to let us see how they play i brought my British 5th Division to the club to face a French force fielded by him. A couple of other new members also participated in the game. It was a bit slow as Chris explained the rules as we played each turn but some of the amendments were very good indeed. A report can be found on the blog here- Link |

Yowsers, I think your amendments are longer than the game rules… All I was planning to do was add in Blucher style move/shoot rules – if you move you can't shoot. |

We play that if you move more than one action in a turn you can't shoot. |

I've been thinking about making a few house rules for BP so I'll have to take a look at these when I finish work later :D |

The mods work well, and most of the "mods" booklet is explanation, so don't worry about the length of them. I use them, slightly modified (of course) and find they add a nice degree of Naps to BP, for my taste. |

We had another big game using these modifications last Saturday.We did the Napoleonic scenario from the rule book. I will do a report on that when i get the time but it was another enjoyable days gaming. Thanks for the comments pleased some of the new rules are proving useful. The lads who did these also did a TYW version of Pike and Shot and i believe Warlord used some of their ideas in the supplement. Something must be working i guess. |
