Love these rules! Very nice game!

Interesting idea for a scenario. I like it. And good looking game but about as small as I would go for GdA. Definitely unlucky with that melee role for the cuirassiers.

I enjoyed your report very much.
I'm liking Gd'A too.
I assume your batteries are normal sized but you're using 4 model guns & in line? I've done this too & it doesn't seem to alter much. I've painted guns for a 1:2 ratio & I'll be darned if I can't put them on the table.

BTW picky comment: I'd 'moider the bum' who put a beer glass on the table.

Markconz- well done

@ IDYMilkshake- I beleive you are the only one in NC who plays Gd'A! When will you put on a play test/learning game?

Thanks all! Agreed Teppsta about as small as a GDA game can be I think.

Ochoin batteries normal sized, but was using 3 for horse and 4 for foot for my French here. Most of the time I use 2 guns per battery but feel that frontage probably isn't enough compared to a battalion.

And guilty as charged, I was the bum who put the beer glass on my cloth :) In my defence it is a tough and washable one, though OOP so I should be more careful with it!

Hey MG,

I bought a new house without a basement or detached garage. Not much for space, except to paint. Maybe a 4x3 table. But I have no opponents, sadly. I have a few great game groups, but they just don't care for Napoleonics.

Contact me at petrogm at Hotmail dot com, maybe I can make a run up to Raleigh.

Always good to see Gd'A game reports as they are the system I am slowly getting into. Looks good and a good blog too.

Thanks
