High ...What's not to love about Teugen Hausen? High drama and the excitement of a sort of meeting engagement. Abensburg is certainly a viable contender as I have tons of Bavarians. <br />Good eyes you have sir - I grabbed the nearest skirmishing unit and plopped them down. I think they're Landwehr, actually.<br />I'm really looking to play more games instead of read new rules and for me that's Black Powder as I already know them fairly well.<br />Would love to see someone else try out those Grand Tactical 1HW rules. If you like "Blucher" or "Volley and Bayonet,"you'll enjoy them. They're probably best played with the scenarios from One Hour Wargames, but also work fine with an open engagement.<br />A local gamer I know continues to work with them and has made many tweaks to them over time. So much so that I've taken them off my blog. <br /><br />I still prefer the original!Disgruntled Fusilierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10995610821904415726noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1194255716971534690.post-23894575343552121612022-08-27T10:39:40.597-04:002022-08-27T10:39:40.597-04:00Well, that's a gorgeous game, Steve!

I do love the 1809 campaign; have a go at Abensberg or Eggmuhl!<br /><br />What's more, at this scale I can even pick a nit about those "Grenzer" who certainly appear uniformed more as Jagers! :-) <br /><br />Settling on Field of Battle as my rules set for Horse and Musket games certainly simplified my life (although Brent is coming out with a new rules set in September that' seems to be a twist on FoB). <br /><br />I'm still of a mind to try your "Eagles Cheaper than Brain Cells" rules, especially to see how they would work with Middle School aged kids as part of HMGS Next Gen. The table is empty at the moment, so perhaps a go at them would be in order?!Gonsalvohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16531623280789478092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1194255716971534690.post-4000815631670626012022-08-27T08:02:07.389-04:002022-08-27T08:02:07.389-04:00Thanks Pascal!

I'd probably have to say the most fun one to play was Volley and Bayonet because of the huge table we played on and the epic scope of those rules. That said, my personal fav is probably narrowing down to Black Powder simply because I continue to know that set best.Disgruntled Fusilierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10995610821904415726noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1194255716971534690.post-31850608380748364522022-08-27T08:00:08.394-04:002022-08-27T08:00:08.394-04:00Darren I was hoping you'd catch that video I s...Darren I was hoping you'd catch that video I snuck in ;).

These Old Glory miniatures tightly packed with 5-6 stands make for a good troop density on the battlefield. After all these refights with different rules sets, which was your favorite in terms of rules and how they handled the scenario? I played it only once with Age of Eagles so far. It delivered a good game but it felt a bit to small of an engagement for Brigades as maneuver units.Pascalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08182754156432278086noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1194255716971534690.post-58739826185082106122022-08-27T04:40:06.054-04:002022-08-27T04:40:06.054-04:00Thank you Mark!Thank you Mark!Disgruntled Fusilierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10995610821904415726noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1194255716971534690.post-42681827029649426972022-08-27T04:39:52.331-04:002022-08-27T04:39:52.331-04:00Thanks, Norm.
