Talking about the concepts behind his new Pickett's Charge ruleset. toofatlardies.co.uk/blog/?p=6250

I must be living in a cave as I've never heard of his rule sets. Are they good?

General de Brigade? British Grenadier? One of the premier rules writers of the last 15 years.

And Guns at Gettysburg.

Like I said I must be living in a cave. I haven not heard of any of these. Will take a look.

I second John Baxter's comments.
Ney Ney	29 Sep 2016 10:03 a.m. PST
I hope I've not been misunderstood, it was a genuine question not a bad comment. I am going to look these rules up. Thank you.

Let's say each side has a division of 4 to 6 brigades. Hoiw many turns should an average battle last and how much time will that average game take to play? I was working on a set of SYW rules (since abandoned) that used a vaguely similar thing with staff officers. They were used to send orders, but it wasn't as well thought out as in Dave Brown's rules. May have to try these.

So – Pickett's Charge is a … replacement? evolution? from Guns at Gettysburg? Same scale?
David Brown	30 Sep 2016 7:46 a.m. PST
G, An evolution I suppose – very different rules but the same scale able to cope with larger battles more easily. DB
