They certainly do what they do, even without the rules the book is worth it just for scenarios.Phil Robinsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14951076081660516802noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6643367427357236155.post-83845205228099652032015-02-03T02:28:00.096-08:002015-02-03T02:28:00.096-08:00I obtained this book at christmas and my old warga...I obtained this book at christmas and my old wargaming chum Steve Sykes and myself have used them for our sunday night game. Given that I live in the dales, and he in shropshire, they looked like an ideal option for a sunday night one hour "facetime' wargame - using our ipads! So far we have played an ACW game ( scenario 5), and a Napoleonic game ( scenario 3) - only rule mod we fancy so far is to allow skirmisshers in the Naps to reduce the effect of fire against them by -2 to account for their open formation. Otherwise they certainly do what it says on the tin! I've painted an mdf 3 x 3 board with the "grid lines ' from the scenario maps to help steve issues his remote rules over the ipad - he does his dicing at his end - it's been genuinely good fun and a lot faster than an old postal campaign! I suspect that a couple of modifications per period would iron out most of the glaring effect howlers - but they really are great fun!
