Thanks for an excellent review. Being from the same author, my question would be, "Are these same mechanisms used in his Napoleonic rules?" I'll check your site for a review of GdB. edit: I did not see that you had gotten around to GdB on your "Holy Grail" test. Soon hopefully. I enjoy Carnage & Glory for both my ACW and Nap games but not it's not for everyone. I'm looking for a good substitute. |

Thanks Dave and David……David, I'm waiting for General d'Armee to arrive….both of these are different animals from GdB…..totally different command and control systems….plus the figure counting is gone, which I like a lot. These rules play much smoother and allow for larger games than GdB or Guns at Gettysburg.. btw, here's an old review of GdB … link I also am a huge fan of Carnage and Glory….for multi-player games, those are my favorite rules. |
