Here is a pictorial report of a refight of Rossbach using the Twilight of the Soldier King rules

Nice AAR – I have been reluctant to re-fight Rossbach given the Allied position at battle's start but this suggests I should re-think it – thanks for sharing

That's a good AAR and some nice photos, mate. Thanks.

You are welcome. I think that the Twilight team do a good job with their historical scenarios, giving players a chance to change the outcome even under very difficult conditions. Battles that look very one sided on paper are not without hope and interest.

I hadn't really looked at the rules before, 0101skl, generally preferring more tactical sets. However your AAR, and them being available as a .pdf for 15 quid, means I'll probably give them a try.

Make sure you check the published errata for the rules. They could do with an overhaul but for the moment there is plenty of help – and lots of free pdfs – to be found on the Twilight Facebook page.

Make sure you check the published errata for the rules.

I downloaded the errata and FAQ from the Wyre Historic Books (WHB) site after I placed my order, mate, and downloaded the rules and scenario book this afternoon. Nick sent me an email, telling me to ask if I had any questions. I don't have a FB account any more, but hopefully the WHB errata won't be too far behind.
