War of The Triple Alliance

[Bunny]

This war appeals to me due to the uniforms and the smaller battles which are easier to represent.

I am toying between 10mm and 15mm??

There are plenty of figures you could sub in

@ Bunny what ranges are you looking at?

The FPW is something else i should revisit. Studied it for 6months and came up with some ideas that would balance it out i.e. counter Krupp wins but it most of the rules i looked at were not that accurate

Have you looked into Bloody Big Battles rules? They're based on F&F I believe and have scenarios for the FPW as well as many others from the 18th through early 20th Century.

Hi Spartan, as mmcv says (thanks for the kind mention), BBB was designed primarily for FPW. The rulebook contains 9 scenarios for the biggest battles of the war, then there are another half a dozen or so freely available in the BBB group files: https://groups.io/g/bloodybigbattles . The scenarios are all evenly matched - it's certainly no walkover for the Germans.

You've already been pointed towards the BBB Tuyuti scenario above. As for China and Japan: those are also on my BBB to-do list but have yet to be made reality. The biggest C19 battle in Japan was Tabaruzaka in 1877 during the Satsuma rebellion: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Tabaruzaka#:~:text=The%20Battle%20of%20Tabaruzaka%20began%20on%20March%203%2C,mile%20line%20from%20Tabaruzaka%20to%20the%20Ariake%20Sea. Should be an interesting and different game. And then in China there is the whole Taiping rebellion to do some time: https://bloodybigbattles.blogspot.com/2017/04/taiping-error-not-really.html

Anyway, good luck with settling on conflict, figures and rules that suit you!

This seemed pertinent.
