" An older set of rules which were available in the first issue of Wargames Illustrative. Written by Andy Callan these rules capture the feel and tactics of the war. I was instantly taken with them and have been playing them since they first came out. Not to everyone's taste but a great favorite of mine. They have brought a lot of fun games and enjoyment to me over the years…."

Isnt this system similar to the AWI rules "British Grenadier"? I must be missing something; what exactly is fun about spending your afternoon sorting out unit disruption/disorder? |

British Grenadier was partly inspired by Andy Callan's rules. One way to describe it is – Loose Files in a General de Brigade (Napoleonic Rules) wrapper. The Disruption Points concept works very well and is quicker in practise than it may seem at first glance. In a game it focuses the commander's mind and prevents being able to do too much at one time, so in that respect it's interesting/fun having to make critical decisions. I'd suggest that it's a more compelling game mechanism than, for example, rolling lots of morale tests. |
