Written by Aelred Glidden, erstwhile contributor to MWAN. I've searched through the MWAN titles available in the Wargame Vault, but with no luck. |

I'm sure I've got the original around here somewhere transcribed into Word, fgilbert. But once I find it, how do I send it to you? |

What is Charge! for Dummies? |

It's a very short Napoleonic Ruleset from way back in the day, written by an actual Benedictine Prior who used to be a regular contributor to the wargaming newsletter MWAN. |

Billy, if you find old MWANs, check for "The Monk's Corner" which generally included one of Br Aelred's rules--almost always short, clear and using individual basing, which gives a lot of flexibility. My recollection is that "Charge! for Dummies" was actually included as a "letter to the editor" rather than as an article or the "free set of rules in every issue" which makes it particularly hard to track down. I used to have ambitions of a binder full of one-page rules. You can make your own, of course, but you'd never hack through the forest of copyright for publication. |
