Hello,

What are the simple rules out there where one base = one brigade?

I know of DBN and Snappy Nappy

thank you

Volley & Bayonet, Grande Armee

Fast Play Grande Armee is a simplified version of GA.

Blucher.

Another vote for Volley & Bayonet, though have not played others mentioned.

Martin Rapier26 Apr 2021 8:45 a.m. PST

Horse, Foot & Guns.

(along with V&B, Grand Armee etc)

"Bloody Big Battles". Ummm. The units are brigades or divisions, made up of multiple bases. So not one base = one brigade.

Between V&B, Grand Armee and Blucher, I'd say V&B is the easiest.

Frederick Supporting Member of TMP26 Apr 2021 11:08 a.m. PST

Have played Volley and Bayonet and Blucher

Agree that V & B is the easiest, but Blucher does have a certain Napoleonic flair that I like

I love VnB! I just wish there was a Command and Control aspect to the rules.

Valmy9226 Apr 2021 12:33 p.m. PST

For command and control it would be easy enough to bolt on rules like Shako's draw an order arrow and the center of the division rides that to the end, at which point it needs a new order. Ease of activation by distance from Corps or army CO and nationality.
