BP has a nice way of adding fate's intervention and also showcasing how a "good" army can be quite good and a bad army can be bad.Disgruntled Fusilierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10995610821904415726noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1194255716971534690.post-66234270122186033152016-08-15T08:20:35.014-04:002016-08-15T08:20:35.014-04:00One of my favorite batles!

I quite like the way BP can halt movement, history is littered with examples of what we think 'should' have happened ...... but didn't. It also makes the same scenario quite replayable.Normhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05031444717952755557noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1194255716971534690.post-39728958845236286572016-08-14T19:54:24.241-04:002016-08-14T19:54:24.241-04:00Cheers, Darren.

Blac...Cheers, Darren. Glad you enjoyed the Batrep.<br /><br />Black Powder can definitely be frustrating that's for sure. Imagine all that combat power just simply sitting there not moving!<br />There is a little bit of resource management in BP I will say - Brian taught me that - putting the right leader (IE command support) in the right place can make a huge difference. The trick apparently is finding the unit that is the "main effort" and basically moving the overall commander with that element to ensure the battle moves the way you want it to.<br /><br />It was a great game and we were really happy with the 10mm troops on the table. Makes me want to paint more up!Disgruntled Fusilierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10995610821904415726noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1194255716971534690.post-25148918094027377532016-08-14T18:50:53.888-04:002016-08-14T18:50:53.888-04:00Great commentary mate.

Almost felt like I was there - and looks like a hard fought game.<br />Some great rules mechanisms at work there too - though I still struggle with the command roll in BP in that it is very unforgiving/arbitrary. <br />I suppose I have been spoilt a little with Maurice and Field of Battle, in that though your resources are finite, you still get some choice in terms of where to spend them, while in BP one bad die roll can really ruin your day.<br />Looks like a great game and fantastic pics. The 10mm looks great.Duc de Gobinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10668407600014604176noreply@blogger.com
