"Rules for larger Napoleonic battles" Topic

"Not much to post about this week as I have finally been able to write up my "home-Brew" Napoleonic rules which are inspired by SPI's board game "Napoleon at Waterloo".

Looks like fun!

inspired by SPI's board game "Napoleon at Waterloo".

I feel there is significant potential in figure game rules based on boardgames. New v Wellington is one set of rules which may also work.

i like the compactness of the rules – they look just like what i was after in terms of some wargame rules that i could use for playing some games with my daughter

Thanks also…
