As the title says having recieved the rules at the weekend I have played through a small solo test game to see how they go.
A few pictures of the fight:
More pictures and a more detailed look here:

That was good to read. I would have liked slightly more rules explanations so it is a shame you didn't feel your previous write up was well received Thanks for sharing though Marc (still waiting for my birthday to open my copy) |

Thanks lads, Marc, I know what you mean but people don't seem to realise how long it takes to write up a report to a depth like the one I did about the Pickett's Charge rules. Each set of photographs usually require about paragraph to explain how the rule attaining to it works.

How would you rate these rules compared to others of this type? Where would you place these rules on a list of Napoleonic rules? First, near top of list, or middle of the pack? |

IMO high up there but this is only the first playtest just doing the basics, the 'high up there' is based more on the fact that I love Pickett's Charge (same writer same system) and I liked General De Brigade, same writer but G d'Armee is slightly slicker and runs better.
Early days but we will play it regularly at the club soon.

Dave – I bet! And I wil be the first to admit I don't post often on blogs – I get caught up with what ID I am supposed to use – "google account – what's that?". SO I actually use TMP far more for commentary than I would an individual blog. So I can only say that I always enjoy reading peoples blogs via TMP, and especially Naps battle reports. What I am looking forward to is seeing how the rules work for people in reality – Dave (B) is a seasoned rules writer but it will be interesting to see what sort of FAQs arise. Sadly, as I have got older, I find rules sink in slower to my brain these days, so I often don't "get" a set of rules on the first few read throughs or plays. Cheers Marc |

And I have now taken a quick peek at your Picketts Charge write up, and will read that properly tonight, but it looks good. I use Fire and Fury, but maybe I should consider trying a new set. Thanks Marc |
