An AAR of my second game using the recently published 'Shadow of the Eagles' Napoleonic rules by Keith Flint:

Nice layout Steve.

Nice layout, indeed. Thanks for the illustrated AAR and post game thoughts on these new rules. Much appreciated.

Great report.
Looks excellent

[Dave Fielder]

I thought I could smell the MDF aroma coming down the M5. Nice report as usual, at the least the English Summer weather is good for motivating decent BATREPS ;-)

[Steve J]

Thanks Dave. Let's hope we can meet up to play a game or two before the Cotswold Wargaming Day, as fingers crossed it will be able to go ahead.

Good report, thanks Steve. I normally play Napoleonics with Volley and Bayonet at a much higher command level than this, having gone bonkers trying to play big battles with stone paper scissors type rules many years ago.

I have an urge to fight smaller battles again however, particularly some of the actions in the Danube valley in 1809 leading up to Aspern and Wagram.
These look ideal for that.

[Steve J]

For large battles we've found Bloody Big Battles works perfectly and no need to re-base anything, which is great. I would say these rules are perfect for smaller actions along the Danube valley during the opening phases of the campaign. In fact I'm reading Gill's first book on this and there are many small actions that jump off the page asking to be gamed. Hopefully I will be able to do this soon!
