Maurice 100pts British Army

[Dave Fielder]

Mmmm ... still waiting for Maurice to arrive. Then I'll consider what to do, although I have the Jacobite forces I got from Nik. 50 x 25 per base with 3 bases per unit ...

They'll work fine Major - have a look at the scrap I did with the Lite rules using my SYW Austrians & Prussians with the same basing - here: http://www.pendrakenforum.co.uk/index.php/topic,4939.0.html

I'm using 3 bases two - purely cos I like my standard to be in the middle of my units, plus any army I make also potentially fits most warmaster variants...

My bases are 30x30 with 6 figs per stand

These look fantastic.

You're all VERY bad people - every visit to this forum seems to cost me money...!!
I've been using the generally excellent Piquet: Field of Battle rules (brilliant for solo play BTW) for my 7YW games, but always felt that they were a little lacking in period specific flavour. I downloaded, read through and playtested a few combats using the Maurice Lite rules last night - they read & played well, and seemed to offer the right amount of flavour, so I've now ordered the full set...
Right, now I'm off to sell some unwanted 15mm & 28mm stuff before the Visa bill arrives....

Aye, it's sheer torture. You innocently click on a link, and next thing you know financial disaster strikes...  Yesterday it was Maurice. Lord forgive me, I pre-ordered the whole bloody lot, the booklet, the cards, the pdf... cost me forty quid.

I shudder to think what monetary monstrosity may lurk in the next thread..  

Cheers,
Aart

Hurrah!! I managed to sell a painted 15mm DBA army today. The proceeds cover my Maurice purchase and even gives me some extra cash to spend on more 10mm goodness at Triples next weekend..

Right, now in the midst of fighting my first full rules Maurice battle - and boy am I suffering. My opponent has just discovered how useful a notable with the instinct for rally is, especially after I played 'Oh, the gout, the gout!' against his c-in-c. Then I discovered he had so few cavalry because they were elite - goodnight my cavalry who couldn't rally fast enough. We also both discovered how useful it is to have a notable as chief of staff. Yes, these rules certainly have plenty of period flavour. Oh, and I forgot to mention, it's now raining so my perfectly placed guns can no longer bombard - damn!

Sounds like you are having an eventful game Dour! We had a great game last night and hope to post some thoughts on my Blog soonish.

Haha, sounds like the kind of fubar that makes for a great gaming night. I'm still waiting for my consignment of the complete Maurice, can't wait to give it a go.
