Sounds a great idea! Looking forward to it. I’ve got 1805: Sea of Glory that helped really portray the logistics and cat and mouse nature of the navy warfare at the time. Pretty impossible to play solo though as it relies on fog of war mechanics. I do love how it has every named ship for Spain Britain and France in that time. Combining board games to act as campaign tools for miniatures seems very interesting. Would be amazing if can use video games like total war campaign and resolve the battles in miniatures. But not sure that’s possible.

Nice walkthrough. How do you use the army lists if you only want to game with battalions? Double the units for the points? Double the point budget? Or is the budget cost the same? :)
@dashofelanwargaming4359 Жыл бұрын
If I recall, nothing changes regarding the lists. They assume REGIMENTS are used - of a specific range in manpower. That means that if you want to use BATTALIONS, you simply increase the number of units, but maintaining the number of men. I would have to go back and read up on it. But that gives you the gist. Nothing changes in the rules, really. ~Fritz

The pose of the swordhand of the cuirassier is correct: It's what's called pronation in fencing . It allows thrusts but can quickly shift to a cut to head, a parry to guard the head (quinte) or to guard the flank (seconde) or chest (prime). It's an offensive posture with options for a reflex defense.

So ... first of all. Printing technology nowadays is so good that there's really no excuse for not just printing the game with pre-rounded corners. (like Hexasim does) Secondly ... I used to not really care about the counters being clipped. But then I started playing a lot of OCS (which has pretty small hexes) and I ended up concluding that it's just not practical to have ANY "ears" on the counters at all. It quickly becomes a clutter if they push neighbor counters around. So - not for aesthetics ... but for practicality.

I read somewhere they didn't make a scale they made what fits on a sprue and 13.5 was the result . Not sure why you want to make what other companies make in size . Thats business suicide . Go big or go home /make your own . And if you have seen the latest warehouse shots from inside warlords the people have spoken . The hum on the forums is at a frenzy stage. New Napoleonic players from outside the usual circles . You also need more lighting where you're filming . Thats why you are having trouble focusing . The lense is hunting. I think the blank bits on plastic happen quite often . I've seen it plenty of times on 28mm . Its not until the newest blanks which are digitally cut has the molds been as perfect as metal , less the worms and flash . I feel the costs of metal are affecting all companies and the bigger long term picture

@@horusheresy6949 Civ war stuff was 13.5, only line I could find that fit in with it was Kallistra 12mm stuff that was almost a perfect match. For this it is mixing well with my minifigs and Old Glory so far (based off 1 Cav Sprue). Their arty is too large to properly fit on the base making their guns LARGER than mini figs I am suspecting Warlords realized they needed to blend with other lines to get people who already had armies to buy into their stuff. If you already have hundreds of painted figs are you really going to buy into their line? Or are you going to just use what you have already? Also at 10 to 13 USD a sprue it is cheaper to buy some metal lines almost. I can get one of their infantry units and part of another, then toss in an arty for about 13. Or I can get 2 full units of Old Glory with command for 21 USD. But mind I am working with one Cav sprue and most lines tend to use smaller horses so that is why they may fit in so well. The plastic stuff is rather simple and unanimated compared to say Old Glory though. Worse comes to worse I can always trim off the riders and reuse the larger horses and arty pieces.
