Just finished a couple of playtests for the recent Napoleonic rules Over The Hills. I found the rules to be very solid in concept, easy to understand, and very smooth-flowing on the tabletop. The full review is on my blog: madmacsattic.blogspot.com
Has anyone else given these rules a spin? |

Nice report, it's good to have an idea of what these rules are like, being an old Napoleonic gamer myself. Our group plays Shako 2, with Chris Leach co-author amongst us. We've played large 6800+ figures and smaller just a few hundred, with this set. It never gets boring. |

Yes, we have had a few games, enjoyed them and now busy painting Russians! Tally Ho! |

Yes….a very solid rules set…..Shako 2 is a system that I've always wanted to try but never got around to it…need to get off my tail and give it a run-through. |

Thanks again for another great review. It made me go back through your blog to red your other posts. Did you find the frontages to be compatible with C&G2? I have mine based in such a way as to play either C&G2 or Shako2. |

All of my figs are based for CG2 and Naps Battles……definitely can be used for Over the Hills….pretty flexible basing requirements…..thanks |

The confusion between morale, numbers, casualties and maybe fatigue has been used and overused in rules already, thing say NPOW. |

Nice review – thanks. They seem to cover the sort of things I like in a wargame. |

Every time I see that cover….I do a double take. that is not the late great David Bowie on the front is it? |

David Bowie was obviously a rifleman just prior to his first album…… |
