Napoleonic rules and 10mm flags - Peninsular

Hi all I'll add another vote for Black Powder

Take Care

I am in the same boat and recently picked up March Attack (Crusader)' Rank and File (Crusader) and Snappy Nappy (On Military Matters). It is too early for me to offer advice on them, but all three seem to have positive comments on the net and would be worth you doing a google search for reviews.

My vote for general de brigade

My vote depends on what size game you're after - and what style.

Divisional sized game:
Lasalle (Sam Mustafa) - clean and crisp, simple and quick
General de Brigade (Dave Brown) - a bit more complex and involved

Corps sized game:
Le Feu Sacre (Too Fat Lardies) is by far my preferred choice - elegant, good decision node, black box combat mechanics, emphasis on command
Anticipating that Blucher may be a cleaner, crisper option when released

Army sized game:
Still Grand Armee (Sam Mustafa) - getting venerable but still very good

Blackpowder deserves an honourable but not without flaws and oddly despite it's everyman approach and simplicity requires extensive period knowledge to get the most out of it

FWIW I play Lasalle for light pick up games when  and LFS for proper scenarios

I'd second Zippee in that it depends what level of game you wish to play. My advice is try a few and see which you like. If you want to do it cheaply go to this site:

Drums and Shakos is certainly an easy one to get to get hold of (and cheap, about a fiver) just go to http://www.ganeshagames.net/index.php?cPath=1_7&osCsid=45e75f5oh06rldbhd59im8brg4 and push the button, a couple of minutes later and you're reading it.

it ticks a lot of boxes

meant for a 6ft x 4ft table
fairly low figure count
not terriblt twee as far as Napoleonic manuevring goes
Army lists in the main book

For Flags try Maverick Models. Really nice to deal with and an excellent selection.

Just remembered; I do actually play Napoleonics, but in 20mm... guess that's why I forgot...
We play 'Brigades and Batteries' available on the Internet for free. Easy fast playing rules; guess they'll do in 10mm as well...

Cheers,

I really enjoy Napoleon at War. Check out my blog where there are links to the Man at War site and some AARs. I play it in 15mm but if I didn't already have a 15mm collection I would certainly have done it in 10mm.

Still never found any rules better than 'Vive L'Empereur' by Ned Zuparko.
30 years old but still very playable.

Agree with Maverick Models. Stu is very helpful and will re-size to suit. Just
let him know the flag depth you want.
