Will do. If anyone currently uses these rules and would be interested in a copy of the House rules for French Revolutionary Games, let me know and I will let you have a copy as they develop

Why not give Osprey's Ronin a whirl. I have had a lot of fun with that game and everything is in a nice slim Osprey book. Playsheets etc downloadable from the Osprey site.

It's my pal who has the Samurai Itch.
I humour him, as he humours some of my niche interests.

My own interests east of Suez lie with the Ming, the Mahajipit, Malacca, Somalia, Abyssinia and the Portuguese navigators.

5) How many players were in the game? - 21/2
6) What went well? - It was interesting the way troops had to spend time redressing lines.
7) What could have been improved? - No QRS which made keeping on top of things a bit of a pain. Different dice for different troops. Keeping track of who fired so can't move, and finally leaning over the table with my bad back to play a game that doesn't really interest me.

Thanks, Paul. Greatly enjoying gaming in periods where I don't have to paint all the figures, not to mention actually talking to other gamers.

1) What ruleset did you use in your last game? - Ten More Sons!
2) What armies were confronted? - Poles and Muscovites in the Time of Troubles
3) Did you feel comfortable with the ruleset? - Yeppers
4) and... was this the first time you used this ruleset? - Far from it
5) How many players were in the game? - 2
6) What went well? Hussars mostly did what they're there for, and the armoured Cossacks surpassed hopes. I note I can still win at times.
7) What could have been improved? Lithuanian hussars failed to sweep away the Muscovite guard cavalry, despite good dragoon support, and nearly got swamped by the Russian counterattack. Artillery did not a dam' thing.
