Napoleonic Rules?

[FierceKitty]

Yeah, I always think that sleep is better than naps.

Arrgh! Shoot that man.

Fierce: I've played Black Powder,LaSallle,Shako, and  FOG  I liked them all but prefered Shako I felt the game mechanic's good and quick to pick up. The group I game with are great guy's but Nappy rules is a point of contention we really can't seem to find a set we all agree on. I hope this help's rather than hinder's I really like Shako.

It depends on the level of command you want i.e. does a unit represent a battalion or a brigade and do you want to represent skirmish companies or abstract them. If you want a unit to be a battalion, not fanny around with skirmish companies and play with up to a corps a side I'd second LFS by TFL. I've played Black Powder for several periods but have found it works the least well for Naps and needs a major rewrite.

Puzzled. Why are you telling me this? I haven't played Naps (on land anyway) in over a decade.

Thanks for the repliies they do prove that there is a lot out there. Having enjoyed Maurice I'll give Lassalle a go for a while. I always like to give a rule set at least 3 games before discarding or tinkering with them.
I just need to finish a few more SYW French units before I can start undercoating their "grandsons".

Lasalle is second rate compared to Maurice mate, I have both and Maurice is a far superior game

Any chance of some more feedback on these mikec? I quite like Rank & File and I might be interested in these...

Yes, I've read them through and they seem well sorted - as you would expect from Dave Brown. Not sure they'd fit into the two-and-a-half-hour timescale, though.

Another vote for DBN. However you can use Volley&Bayonet too. We use same armies with both rules. And with 6mm and 10mm you can make each base a small diorama.

V & B is great too, it's where my 1870 lit started before Black Powder. I'd in back to it like a shot he our club would too!

I must say that the most fun I have had in years playing various Nappy rules has been with the DBN set of rules by KISR. When doing a 1 vs 1 battle with the basic army per side, games very rarely go to the 2 hour mark.  When we push the game up to three basic armies per side with either 3 v 3 players or 1 v 1, games could last up to the 2  1/2 hour mark. We use the Attrition version and have had loads of great games.  I use these rules for my summer wargaming classes to middle school kids and they catch on real quick about how the rules work.  Just my 2 cents worth
