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.

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.

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.

-1 for bad attitude.

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.

Gratian19 Jan 2017 2:37 p.m. PST

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.
