I played games set during the AWI using both rule sets last year and so thought I would set down my impressions in what turned into a fairly lengthy blog post. This is a comparison between the two rule sets to see how well each does in handling the period. No doubt each provides a good game, but not the same history lesson.

A very helpful review. I have SP (never played), but I was wondering how M&T compared. I like that you prefaced your review with what type of rules you were looking for, rather than just saying this one is better. A well thought out and presented piece. |

Pretty good review of the two different rule systems. As a BIG player of the Sharp Practice, I really enjoy the game narrative and the command cards for your leaders…the unpredictability of command. P. |

Good write up. I have both games (M&T 1st ED.) and SP and like them both. |

I don't think either set appeals to me, but they are great looking games. |

Our area gamers find we don't care for SP or M&T2 either…..limited to skirmish-only, and basically just for two people to play. (M&T 1 was more flexible in scaling up for multiplayer) |

Nice review. Certainly gives me things to think about. |
