link Hi everyone, It's been a while, about 16 years since I last played Napoleonics, it was my first love. We have just finished our first game of Napoleonics reloaded! It's quite a long post as I've gone all dewy eyed about my gaming past and why I have been absent from Naps for so long. Underneath my reminiscences there is my usual map, orbats, set up and AAR. Regards Ken

Outstanding report and blog…….I too have figs based for 33:1….and am struggling with 20:1…..what did you do to convert GDB to 33:1? Would be very interested to see your fire charts…. I love GDB, but don't want to rebase everything…. |

Like it. I went for 1:20 a la Peter Gilder but always have 1:33 in my mind from the days of Terry Wise. Reality is, as I moved to Black Powder the size of units in figures became less important. But you game looks nice and I will re read the scenario deployment rulez and consider doing a similat game |

Cheers all, Madmac64, I'm away from home at the moment so I don't have the tables with me. It's quite straightforward, on the Artillery chart the number of guns models stays the same my stuff has 1 gun model for 2 actual Guns. All you need to do is change the casualties multiply the casualty result by 20 and then divide by 33. An easy way is half a casualty at 1:20 is a third of a casualty at 1:33 (roughly). We introduced the third of a casualty to our table (5 or 6 on a d6 kills). It worked fine. Same for the small arms table but on that one you need to change the number of figures firing from 20:1 to 33:1 again by converting, so 10 figs at 20 to 1 is 200 men which is 6 figures at 33 to 1. Let me know if you have any problems, I can put my tables up next week when I get home. As I said in the post the Artillery seemed a bit weak but I don't know if that's a GdeB thing. Regards Ken
