I know its highly unlikely to be everyones cup of tea but I am genuinely excited about this. The vast majority of stuff that has been released Naps wise over the past few years has been v.poor.

I don't think my wife likes me very much, when I had a heart attack she wrote for an ambulance.

Yep, I know there are several round these parts looking forward to the release of FoG Nappys.

But for my gaming group we really like DBN, http://www.dbnwargaming.co.uk

It plays smooth especially with multiple players per side. One on One play is great, game over inside an hour using the basic points per army.

We just need Prussians to show up in the Pendraken world  :D   :D

Have to agree with Jim Ando - thank the gods Osprey are going to turn their hand to other types of rules!

Does anyone know what scale there aimed at  I mean regimental or brigade sized bases?

Cheers
If I were creating Pendraken I wouldn't mess about with Romans and  Mongols  I would have started with Centurions , eight o'clock, Day One!

From what I've been able to glean so far a base represents 450 inf or 175 cav and a unit of 4 bases is a brigade/regiment.

Any ideas what base sizes will be?

Blind guess - but 40mm frontage, depths as per ren or ancients.

I too am looking forward to the arrival of FOG. Napoleonics has always been my period of choice but FOG Ancients has really had me enjoying my games since I overdosed on DBM. I expect the new FOG to do the same for my 1809 fetish!

I stand by the point I made on TMP.

I have better things to spend £75 on than another set of Napoleonic rules + 2 (essential?) supplements.

I am going with Le Feu Sacre III by Too Fat Lardies.  Affordable, quick play and fun for corps level battles.  And I really like the emphasis on command control and FOW within LFSIII.

Here is a site with napoleonic replays using LFSIII:
