I'm planning for a scale down in my gaming and the only Napoleonics I can see a future for are the 6mm ones I have on 30 x 60mm bases. All the bases (Inf, Cav and Art) are on the same size bases and the officers are on 30 x 30s. They were done for Blucher/V&B but what other sets can they work with ? TIA |

Napoleonic Wargaming by Neil Thomas Worth a look. |

Grande Armee. Much better than Blucher IMHO. |

Horse, Foot and Guns: link DBN: dbnwargaming.co.uk Polemos: link Charlie Wessencraft: link Grande Armee: link Also, I think the following two will work easily: Field of Glory Napoleonics: link Et Sans Resultat: thewargamingcompany.com/esr However, almost any set of rules can be made to work with almost any basing. What sort of Napoleonic rules do you like? |

If you're willing to use a roster or make other similar adjustments, such as markers for formations, they will work with scads of other rules easily enough. It's really the formations that can be tricky. You might consider rebasing to 3 20x20 bases. Use steel bases with 60x30 magnetic movement trays to speed play. Such adjustments open up many opportunities: They will work with Black Powder easily enough. They could work with Et Sans Resultat at the smaller ground scales. 1" = 50/75/100 yards. |

I have no plans to re-base. I have Polemos somewhere. DBN looks like it uses standard DBA 40mm bases, HFG definately does. ESR is way out of my pocket |

DBN looks like it uses standard DBA 40mm bases, HFG definately does. 60mm frontage is the standard 25mm basing for DBx games though, so 60mm x 30mm works fine. |

Just print 15mm rules in 4pt font |

I use "Orders to Eagles" Napoleonic rules. It is grand tactical and very easy to learn and play. It uses one QRS with everything you need to play on both sides of the QRS. The cost is $15.00 USD USD which make it a deal. You won't have to re-base as all your stands are the same, another plus. Nick Wilkowski you can contact him at his email for more information. kuski_14@hotmail.com Here is a link to a review I wrote on the rules. link Terry |

Really like the look of General D'Armee by Dave Brown |

With Fate of Battle: Look, Sarge, No Charts: Napoleonic Wars you can easily use 6mm Figures. All the illustrations use 10mm figures in the rule book, but the basing would look good with 6mm Figures. |

Just alter frontages, ranges and base size to proportion to the new scale and just about any rules can be used. Ten minutes with a calculator and you'll have a new chart |

I'd just go Polemos….not my fav set of rules, but they are solid and easy, and everything is already based as such. |
