Have a ton of Napoleonic 15mm figures to rebase. Would like rules where the brigade is the maneuver element. Also, what are the average base sizes? |

We use "Blucher" rules by Sam Mustafa. Excellent system, 1 stand = 1 brigade. (we use 15mm figures, 19 line infantry [with 16 in formation and 3 skirmishes in the front], 6 or 8 cavalry and 2 guns and crew to a base [we put one gun and crew with a limber and team for Horse artillery] Blücher by Sam Mustafa is a scale-agnostic, brigade-level wargame designed for large Napoleonic battles, where one unit generally represents a brigade (1,000–5,000 men). It uses flexible base sizes, typically 75–80mm wide for 15/28mm figures or 60mm for 6mm figures, allowing players to use existing collections. You can buy them for the game out of MDF, which is what I use. We used to use "Napoleon's Battles", but they were such a pain. These are terrific. sammustafa.com Dave |
