Your Napoleonic games do look good, Slim. I recall your Black Powder AARs but see you are now fully committed to Blucher (particularly the basing conventions). Regarding the Blucher rules, what is it you like the most? Also, I wondered what the square markers (with infantry pictures?)for (see blog photos 11, 12, 14 & 15)? 

Yep we r now fully committed to Blucher,even one of our going friends is rebasing his vast (and I mean vast!)m6mm napolionic armies to use for Blucher. The markers are to show your infantry units are preferred. This means you cannot suffer any penalties for been hit in the flank or rear if charged. More importantly it means any enemy cavalry that charge you while oreparEd have to re roll all successful attacks against you which can be very handy. However if you are caught unprepared by cavalry as I was in this game on a couple of occasions the infantry have to re roll all successful attacks. As for the rules I think what helps make the game is the movement/command phase. With your opponent rolling for your command points and you not knowing how many points you have to play with means you have to give real thought on what corps or single brigade moves you want to do as your movement activation is stopped when you reach that command roll.

Looking great!  I want to get a bushel of Pendraken Napoleonics, but do battalion basing (maybe 4 10-man stands each?).  But I'd never finish them...

Great looking game, glad to see someone getting them in.

Useful company. I wish they'd widen their range.
