Great Plains scenario completed against Mike with my Romans coming out victorious despite a suicidal light cavalry charge (I tried surrounding Cartho leader with a HC unit but got stuffed).
Now its on to the last of the scenario booklet games: Zama 202BC but I do have another 7 scenarios from C3i for us to try (I only own base game).
End on the Great Plains
Game at mine today with Stephen and decided to give Valour & Fortitude rules an outing using my Prussians against his French circa 1813/14.
We tried 400 point forces and used GDB again to generate terrain which worked fine.
Been a while since we used V&F and not sure we have tried latest version (but no radical changes).
Enjoyable test of rules that certainly play very smoothly as written, and being very much a broad brush and fast play style set.
Very liberal movement system (even more so than BP) but works along with Actions Phase and shooting/melee all easy to adjudicate.
Units stats feel pretty much as per BP but nice addition of the Army Traits and card deck Special Abilities.
Of course couple of things we decided to house rule re Light Infantry, Heavy Guns and some Skirmish Shooting, but really only minor tinkering.
Decent set of rules at really good price.
