Keep up the great work!<br /><br />Regards,<br />GregSGreg Saparahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06170653448749957195noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-97754405909576170.post-21343661518269627262009-04-08T08:27:00.000+02:002009-04-08T08:27:00.000+02:00Hi JohnWhen I said that LFS had influenced me a lo...Hi John<BR/><BR/>When I said that LFS had influenced me a lot, I did not mean in relation to the size of brigades.<BR/><BR/>They are the most recent commercial rules I have used. We played with them for about two years, and I like a lot of the game mechanics.<BR/><BR/>However they are designed for corps sized battles, and I wanted to do multi corps battles.<BR/><BR/>The brigade sizes were dictated by the number of painted figures that I already had. The 8 figure brigade suits me, but it is not essential. You could use any number of figures, the base sizes are not important.<BR/><BR/>Paulthistlebarrowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00077298970769942656noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-97754405909576170.post-28134665576146439702009-04-08T02:00:00.000+02:002009-04-08T02:00:00.000+02:00Hi,I have been trying to figure out your figure ra...Hi,<BR/>I have been trying to figure out your figure ratio. It looks that each 8 infantry figures (4 bases) represent a brigade. I am curious, you say that LFS has influenced your rules: How?<BR/><BR/>I will follow your blog.<BR/><BR/>Johnjohn de terre neuvehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03898285039988448895noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-97754405909576170.post-84229092725357317212009-04-06T20:18:00.000+02:002009-04-06T20:18:00.000+02:00Hi TWRThanks for your comments.I often think that...Hi TWR<BR/><BR/>Thanks for your comments.<BR/><BR/>I often think that 6mm is the best scale for Napoleonic wargames. I even bought a set of Heroics and Ros figures. However I find it hard to move away from my first love - 25/28mm<BR/><BR/>I hope to publish the first battle reports soon, hope you like them.<BR/><BR/>Paulthistlebarrowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00077298970769942656noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-97754405909576170.post-68420546829107478842009-04-06T09:49:00.000+02:002009-04-06T09:49:00.000+02:00I found your site via TMP and I will be interested...I found your site via TMP and I will be interested to see how your campaign develops. Good luck with your gaming, especially when using the 6mm Napoleonics, which is the scale I use.TWRhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17980598327408683598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-97754405909576170.post-11860921836134441832009-04-05T20:46:00.000+02:002009-04-05T20:46:00.000+02:00Hi BobI have replied by email direct, but not sur...Hi Bob<BR/><BR/>I have replied by email direct, but not sure if you received it. I have just figured out how to add to comments, so here goes:<BR/><BR/>The napoleonic period has always been my firm favourite. And I would love to think that I might encourage you back to the best period!<BR/><BR/>Jan and I use our own "house rules". They are strongly influenced by LFS, but heavily amended for use with our collection of figures. I am reluctant to publish them, as rules are a sure fire way to start disagreements. However if there is enought interest I might publish them on the blog.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for taking the trouble to post.thistlebarrowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00077298970769942656noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-97754405909576170.post-34285911703638413132009-04-03T23:49:00.000+02:002009-04-03T23:49:00.000+02:00I have been reading your blog with considerable in...I have been reading your blog with considerable interest. Although not a particular fan of the Napoleonic era, your enthusiasm is infectious, and I am giving serious thought to getting my collection of Napoleonic troops out of their storage boxes (where they have been 'resting' since they were painted) and organising them along the lines that you have outlined.<BR/><BR/>I like fighting larger-scale actions, and most rules for the Napoleonic period seem to favour brigade or divisional level games whereas your 'system' seems much more in line with both the size of table that I have and number of figures that I own.<BR/><BR/>Many thanks for what you have written so far; I shall continue to follow your blog with interest.Robert (Bob) Corderyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13109130990434792266noreply@blogger.com
