I'm interested in any house rules people have developed for Blucher. Since it's been out for several years I would think there are some, as we gamers like to tinker with the rules.

The Honour forums are closed right now for renovation. They do have a Facebook page:

This group has an ACW variant and several scenarios that could be of interest.

Great sources for scenarios—I can't believe they haven't developed some house rules though.

MM1 are the Honour forums coming back? I thought everything was on Facebook now, I hope they are reinstated as I don't ‘do' Facebook…
Cheers!

Isn't there a "new and improved" Blucher fast play" / player aid sheet out there? I'e been Searching and haven't been able to find it.

Hi folks – Ross from the Oldmeldrum Wargames Club here – thanks for posting the link to our scenarios page, much appreciated!!

@barcah2001 – we very rarely bother with house rules, especially with games as well written and clearly playtested as Blucher are. We find that rules of this caliber tend to be well balanced and are the result of many many revisions and tests. Making tweaks can have far reaching impacts that you may not have considered and therefor we tend to play rules as written. Don't see much point in making changes for the sake of it!

Nothing in the rules is bothers us or ever led us to think "that needs changed".

Only times we have occasionally added bits are scenario specific additions or allowances but these are very specific and only in certain circumstances to reflect a specific historical event.

Getting back to this after a recent game using the Scharnhorst campaign system. When you have a battle with forces of very unequal size, doesn't it make sense to change the MO roll? A single corps of 5 units shouldn't have the same 3D roll for MO as a 3corps force with 15 units. Shouldn't there be 2D and 3D forces? Opinions?

Never thought about that. However the C in C would have less to balance, and probably the same AdCs available but less to do with them.
