I had this game set up since the weekend. I had planned to play it tomorrow (day off) but I'll make up the time then.
The inspiration for this was the maps in Bruce Quarries classic book.
I used my Commands and Colors blocks for the armies and used the lists from the Napoleonic scenario in the Black Powder Rule book.
I used centimetres instead of inches for all ranges and movement.
French marching columns.
As always I forgot about the broken brigade rules until too late, ah well.
The lying down artillery pieces signified limbered guns.
At this point I decided that I should check brigade and army morale and marked the broken brigades with a red counter.
Both armies were beat. I called it as a narrow French victory.
I will do this again probably on a 4x4 board rather than 2x4 with a bit more forethought, a proper scenario with objectives.
But as an experiment the little blocks work very well in my opinion. I could even use my ancients blocks for Hail Caesar.
What do you reckon?.
what a great idea, i must try it myself thanks for posting.
