American War of Independence Rules

[holdfast]

Yesterday I had a canter through the new Command and Colours AWI Game with Mollinary and we were mightily impressed at the period feel of it. It comes with blocks for units as with others from the C&C stable but having played it once we were digging out the figures to convert it back to a figures game which it is crying out for.

Hi Cam,

I bought it from Gameslore, who seem to be based in Telford.

Hi,

This is the latest Richard Borg Commands and Colors Boardgame, produced by Compass games.

I like Muskets and Tomahawks for skirmish games, and Maurice for larger games. Honours of War isn't bad too, but takes longer to play than I have time these days.

We have always used black powder rules at Grimsby Wargames and they are so easy to follow. All variables are just hit modifiers and you can soon pick it up. The only thing that can get a bit confusing with it, is the melee section.

I have now played the C and C AWI four times and it plays very nicely. As for other C and C the units are 4 blocks with stickers on which works well but it is very tempting to replace the blocks with 10mm or 15mm figures.
The nice nuance is that if a unit has to retreat it must always test against falling apart, which happens infrequently for regulars and frequently for militia. My only reservation is that British Regulars and Continental Regulars have identical factors in all respects which may not always have been the case.
A very good game for a club night as the game typically takes 90 minutes to two hours once you have played one game and got your head round the things that are special to these rules. 90% of the C and C rules mechanisms are unchanged though.

I recommend the Warlords Black Powder, with the Rebellion supplement

I would also agree Black Powder, with the Rebellion supplement definitely the way to go

Take care

Has anyone out there tried the Command and Colors AWI Game that appeared in September?
