It's back on apparently. I enjoyed these rules very much – albeit with a bit of frustration with the way the rules were written. Glad to see they're looking at a v2 again with aims for it to be easier to understand, simplified and a faster game. ' link Is anyone in the Nottingham area interested in play testing? |

Certainly do not intend to shell out yet more hard earned cash on another version of these rules. They ought to offer a one to one swop if they actually sort out the problems with the original book. Played them a few times, the basic mechanisms are good, but the organisation of the rule book is awful, Even the layout of the QRS is sometimes baffling. |

I have to admit that the organisation of the book put me off for quite a while but a friend insisted they were worth the effort and perseverance payed off. They are a great set of rules. Really good for both competition and historical scenarios. I know the people working on the re-write (the main aim of which is to improve clarity and organisation) and have every confidence they will deliver. I hope it will lead to more people playing what is an under-appreciated set of rules. Martin |

Skeptical. The first ones were a mess. For that kind of money, I should not have to work so hard. |

Probably a decent set of rules but an unreadable layout. Like others have said however, I am unlikely to spend more money on them. |

If they could compile a good all in one book (with army lists) for a reasonable cost it should be worth it. How much is Blucher now!? I like Blucher but I find it a little bit too abract / high level. |

Gratian, thanks for the good news. I enjoy these rules and look forward to a revival created by V2. |

That's great news! Totally agree with everyone else's assessment of poorly organized. Great set of rules, once we figured everything out. |

I was a bit surprised after a seeing couple of stalled attempts come and go. I think they have lots of appeal. Glad to see there's some interest. |

I'll be getting V2 as well. Great rules once the subtleties became clear. The problems with the layout started when we had to stop a game for 15 minutes to look for an answer on horse artillery… |

I enjoyed the rules. I also worked on some supplemental army lists that were not released but I really enjoyed working on them. |
