Well for my 15mm and 28mm Napoleonic's it is Battalion level so my Infantry Divisions have around 10 - 12 Battalions that are broken down into 2 - 3 Brigades or Regiments for Prussians. So since I use 24 figures per Battalion a Division would have 240 - 288 figures along with their Division & Brigade Commanders.

Helpful! Closeups of each as spoken would be helpful.

No denying it looks cool. For my purposes, I don't think I would want the extra time and pieces. I know if I mean for my block to be following the terrain, and I simply play that way. Nonetheless, the option to play that way is cool, and definitely more appropriate for smaller battles. Marengo and Antietam might be really cool with brigade blocks. but I think Gettysburg or Waterloo, cool as they would look, might get tiring to play. I'd definitely want to try it out and see! I would be willing to buy both sets, just to try it out.

I moved from hex & counter games to Columbia block games to Pub battles, can’t stand the stacking of counters anymore and I love the long PB blocks. I would enjoy a brigade level more detailed combat system, as most history books refer to brigade action when describing battles, but I would like to keep the same long blocks. So a bigger map maybe? Also I noticed your PB blocks stickers bear the name of the division and brigade commanders, while mine are just like “Heth L” and “Heth Right”. Is it standard now with the most recent games?

The Brigade scale seems great, i'd be more inclined to buy a pub battles game using Brigades.

I'm looking at this for my System 7 Napoleonics! Mumble, mumble years ago I was a regular customer at The Command Post in San Diego, CA. Any connection?

While I too prefer the Battalion scale for the reasons @winter9703 stated, I would love to see Regiment scale games in this system. In fact, why not offer the game in multiple scales using the same map since you demonstrate the use of multiple unit scales on the same map? A gamer like me who has been a supporter of the system even before Brandywine hit the streets, I'd love to buy unit blocks in multiple scales for the same game knowing I''d get a slightly different tactical feel of the battle when using the different scales of the units in a game. Keep up the good work.

No such thing as "best" in wargames.

I would definitely like to see more games at Brigade level (the true sweet spot to me), that is: - long PB-style counters on big KS map scale, or - that newest shorter counters (2 of them = 1 long PB-style counter) on standard PB map scale

Yes, more brigade and Kriegsspiel level

Don’t hate me but I’d like to see more Battalion scale games - where each block is a company and four or six (simplified/standardized for gaming purposes) together form a battalion. I realize this is quite zoomed in, and a large battle like Waterloo or something similar would take up a lot of space… but at this scale we get to actually see the tactics that make the Napoleonic period so interesting: linear formation (and all the maneuvering headaches it caused), squares, different types of columns, etc.

Brigade scale seems to be the sweet spot for me. You can more easily tailor differential division sizes based on numbers of brigades. Something else brigades offer is the ability to change formations a bit more (a division attacking in echelon or in column). Supporting brigades on an advance gives division deployment a more nuanced approach. For Napoleonics, formations play a much more pivotal role with heavy cavalry and more ubiquitous field artillery. Finally, brigades allow for less abstraction with casualties and cohesion as a result of combat.

Would this be on sale soon?

Would love to see more Regimental or Brigade scale!

Being able to shape around terrain will be awesome at brigade scale! It can get tight at Gettysburg toward the late game depending on which terrain you decide to set up on.

Love it! Is there a planned release date of the WWII combat game?

Elegant, you should have use it

Can I make this at home? I ordered a product today and didn’t see it, also how long do you think it will take for my order to arrive

Depends on the overall situation, if wellington loses la haye saint, does he commit to recapture? depends on the usefulness of using the location to follow up an advance

I use this system a lot. Makes it simple and quick. I agree that you should give some more examples of different situations.

Depends on my orders.

I got this on Kickstarter, and have enjoyed every game I've played (and I usually lose!). The one thing I would say about it is that there are so many small blocks that I'd be very wary about playing the game out in a pub. It'd be too easy to lose a piece or pieces.

hi! how do you perfectly stick signs on figurines, tell us how?

I really like your handwriting

much needed merci

I find it interesting that the British center is coming off a hill, across a stream, OVER a second hill, across a SECOND stream to hit the enemy in woods that they can't eve see and I would hope the defensive modifiers for the colonials would be Big

multiple hits should Have to be spread amongst any and all units involved

simple rules SHEET, an UNMOUNTED map, painted pieces of wood, stickers....wildly overpriced

so, in the example, two units got pushed back and flipped----why would only One unit per trun be able to recover??? The officers of Both units would be working simultaneously on their own men to restore order it's like saying "i got stabbed twice but the second wound can't begin to heal until the first one has healed" nonsense....they both heal simultaneously

Where can these pieces and map be purchased. Thanks in advance.

Can someone explain the meaning of the dice numbers? i didn't get it.

Ive been looking everywhere for this game. Where would I be able to find it online?

Better title, "How to say Russian/Austrian names from Austerlitz with a French accent".

Excellent video! Though, not greatly informative as to everything surrounding the combat.

😂😂 military right

Some friends and I have wanted to get into kriegspiel. This seems like a fun accessible system

If Buford had made a cheap attack on the incoming rebs in column, AND if Lee had gotten lucky dice and eliminated him, what then? How would day 2, and even more, day 3, look with Buford not present. One unit, one decision, could have huge consequences! sequences!

Lots of fun decisions. It's interesting to see how different the battle can develop. I've never known any of my Gettysburg games from other publishers to play this differently. And yet, all quite plausible.

What if there were 3 half battalion s in one brigade(us) and 4 half battalion’s on the other (British) ? What would odd be then? And how many hits can a brigade take thats only has two half battalions in a brigade etc but the examples go on thanks Marshall.

Would love to see more examples thank you for these ones I have so many questions?

Would love to see more of these videos such as artillery fire before assault s? And calculating casualties for that the 1824 kriegsspiel rules are tough to learn solo!

I ordered this recently and I loved it . So in the first four turns the troopers basically make four movements each battalion? Then the Sioux can begin moving. I fear I severely messed that part up. Is there any shooting from a distance or a certain range or so the pieces have to touch in order for any combat to happen?😊 thanks

Hi! Im a novice in this game, so im looking for tiny maps to increase my knowledge, can you help me? By the way nice video !

This is an excellent video! The discussion as you walked through your thought process shows how even a "simple" set of rules can have depth and sophistication that may be overlooked at first glance.

Hits from artillery, if they reduce a unit, do carry over into combat (is this correct?). For example if the artillery bombarded a regular infantry and caused a hit (so the infantry was flipped to spent), then that result does carry over to combat (if the regular spent unit is attacked in the same turn) and the unit remains in its spent state during the ensuing combat.

Although it was unstated in the video, I presume that when you were trying to avoid being flanked (2:48), you had to stay out of the field of fire of the colonials, as required by the rules and thus you made the "horseshoe" shaped formation (i.e., to guard the flanks and stay out of the field of fire of the colonials).

Interesting that you call the blank block a "detachment", and the rules (3.0) call them " disbursed troops." I much prefer the label "detachment" as it makes it clear what the unit represents. I think of "disbursed troops" as troops who have suffered some combat effect or are in some kind of difficult terrain (like heavy woods).

Interesting, where do ya find this game?

How to buy this game?

Very short indeed although clear. But how do you fight ? And what is the interest of carrying just cargo card ? If you can't fight, how could you "win" the game in this case ?
