Is everything pre-Napoleon really linear and limited?

[nikharwood]

I resemble that remark!
Outside, now!
If I'm not their in five minutes, start without me!

Sorry - got caught with a couple of phone calls. Did you beat me up?

Careful, Nik, cos Lemmey could surprise you and attack from any point of the compass. Don't expect a boring old linear encounter.

Nicely done, sir, nicely done

The obvious point of the compass to attack from is surely the sharp end....

I dropped from above!

(Having left a decent interval) thank you all for a civil and well-informed discussion, and I hope I didn't antagonize anyone. My period is not better than anyone else's, except in the narrowly subjective sense that in my trivial opinion it happens to be better for doing what I like. I'd be happy to try PNW games with any of the good people on this forum and I expect I'd enjoy them, linear or otherwise, whether it be Mongols, Polish Hussars, French & Indian Wars skirmish or whatever. The first rule is to have fun, and there are lots of ways of doing that. Happy gaming!

Well, they had a lot of conquering to celebrate.

Fortunately I am more of a wine man than koumis or arag (fermented mares milk). I like my milk cold and straight from the bottle in the fridge -only ever hot on porridge.

There is an apocryphal story about Ogedai Qagan who was exceeding fond of his wine. So much so that he was a bit of an alky. His younger brother told him off about his consumption and made him promise to only drink a single glass of wine a day. Ogedei stuck to his promise...he just got a much bigger glass!

You ever tried koumis?
