Set up a table using Glory is Fleeting terrain system (any system would suffice) and fielded a French vs Prussian 1813 set of forces in a nominal attack (Prussia) vs defence scenario.
Nothing scientific in OOBs just a mix of foot and cavalry with requisite artillery supports, French do have a Brigade of Young Guard with Prussians having slight (4 units) advantage in numbers.
So far played through 4 or so turns and all pretty smooth despite referring rules a lot (QRS available are decent but not learnt core systems).
Movement is straight forward modified only by a single Inept French Brigadier General and a Superior Prussian type (one of things I kept forgetting to roll for) as is shooting.
Had a couple of melees and again easy to work through as is the Morale system.
As a quick playing minimal preparation style set of rules they seem fine although in a face to face game no doubt issues will arise that I have not discerned.
No points system but should suit scenario play fairly well.
Hoping to give Valour & Fortitude and outing as well.
The table and game looks great. I'll be interested to hear your thoughts on the rules once you've played them some more.
ReplyDeleteInitial thoughts are quick playing and easy to understand but maybe a tad bland
DeleteThe rules have lovely artwork to the front. In my games I find that units can generally do one thing and then they need to pull back and recover.
ReplyDeleteYes can be quick to go to weakened state and with 2 hits sticking units they are vulnerable thereafter. Reserves key I guess.
