Title: The Battle of Lockwitz ( SYW, with Honours of War )
Post by: ronan on 02 April 2017, 06:21:44 PM
Hello folks,
We played this very good scenario,
but the prussian won  :(  ( not easily !   :D )
(http://2d6.fr/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/HoW_20170326_03.jpg)

I wrote a very short AAR http://2d6.fr/?p=4158 (http://2d6.fr/?p=4158)

I really like these rules,
and the minis,
  and the beers,
But not the dice !  ;D

I also like these rules and find they play really well with 10mm figures on a 100mm frontage using the 15mm QRS. Have you tried Pendraken's 7mm green and red dice? I now use these with the 7mm dice frame attached to a small base and placed behind the relevant unit.

Looks like it was a fun game, Ronan.    :-bd

[from your blog AAR] "The french side lost the CinC in the beginning, and suffered."    ???

Quelle surprise! How did that happen?

p.s. I see you are also a member of the Honours of War forum. Presumably you have since seen examples of the green and red Pendraken dice and frames in action that Leman and I use?

I need to play these rules again. I've only had one game so far, using my WSS armies, but they were great fun to play.

Have a look on the HoW forum for my friend Roland's (screen name Rol) who has done a lot of work on a WSS variant for them.

Thank you all !

( as I didn't have time to play for weeks ( months ?) I'm still happy for this game, even if I lost, And your words make me feel allright  :-[ )

We decided to not change him when he died. It was a double-edge choice ( he was baaad ! but then he was not there !  ;D  )

I have to apologize for my writing : I hate dice when I throw them !
I don't really hate those markers, but you're all right : I should use  small frames : it would be nicer and easier.
