An interesting looking game using a Command & Colors variant ("inspired by", if you prefer) without hexes. Terrain is the one thing that I still have trouble with in larger scales. I see their trees range from homemade to using branches from real trees. What do others do at this scale? Are there railroad modeler trees for 54mm or do people make them by hand with wire and clump foliage, or something else? |

For pines, some of the Christmas decorations--the ones which are first cousin to a bottle brush--work, and they can be thickened and made to look for natural fairly easily. My biggest deciduous are still a little small. But wargame trees often are. |

Hi Dale, I was one of the players. Some of our club memebers are investing in railroad modelers trees. i haven't, because large figure scale means lage trees. The large figures already take a lot of space. Big trees… wel thats not possible, as i already had to sell one of my Napoleonic armies to make space. About "Command & Colors". No no no. Not Command & Colors,but "Battlecry". Far mors simpler than Command & Colors. "About Bonaparte" had taken it's final shape by 2005 as we were present with demo/particiaption games at the Red Barons convention and Crisis that year, and experimenting with an Ancients rule. So we had already the support part, difference between veterans and greens etc before Command and colors was published. Cheers

Hi Armand, Thanks for posting. Mesa de la Alfombra… it was a battle on a carpet, on a table. ;-) but it sounded really good. Cheers

Dirk, I am aware of About Bonaparte; I purchased them. Command & Colors is a family of games designed by Richard Borg, of which Battlecry is one. The simplicity of Battlecry versus Command & Colors: Napoleonics is irrelevant; your rules increased the complexity far beyond both. Nice to see a game though. Dale |

Thanks for purchasing "About Bonparte" Dale. I 'm Richard Borg eternally gratefull for inspiring me to create a fast play wargame rule with simple machanisms, and the feel of battle. Hope you use the rule, and if you have any questions just "shoot". Cheers

Who makes the infantry and cavalry in bicornes? |
| DDONVIL | 26 Dec 2016 5:01 a.m. PST |
The cavalry with bicorne : the yellow figures are "DelPrado" Spanish Numancia Dragoons (metal). The Spanish cavalry in blue are "Armies in Plastic" Americian Revolution figures (AWI). The French artillary figures are also AWI figures from "Imex". The French infantry with bicorne are "Italeri" figures. Dirk |
