Honestly I'm a fan of cards driven games, I play TFL rules, Piquet and Field of Battle. But I had been really impressed by Maurice. I have played same lite game and now I have the full PDF version and I'm waiting for full cards set.
I think I will play Maurice with my new AWI figures (based 20x20mm) and my old WSS 6mm (based 30x30mm).

I really like as the game flows, and overall the decisional problems the game poses to the players.

Cheers,

Nice looking battle their amigo . I checked out the Lite version and they do look rather good, as if I need another ruleset to try and learn, talk less of two armies to get!

Go for it Steve, then i would have a ready made opponent. Well that is if I can actually stop real life getting in the way of wargaming! 

I might start having a look at these rules - they sound interesting. Wanax - if you try them out on AWI then i would be interested to find out how well they worked.

They've missed a trick of course - Maurice Lite should have been called Maurice Minor

Or much better Maurice le Petit.

Ok Goat Major, at the end of the panting job I will try to post a batrep for AWI with Maurice and Field of Battle, but will be an hard job write in a different language for me, so be patient.

Matt deals with all of that, and he's been very busy with his day job.  We'll get the winners badges attached to your profiles soon!

Got my first Maurice Lite game on Thursday evening - SYW Prussians v Austrians. The rules read well and have the full version coming when it's ready later this month. This has scotched the bigger fellas somewhat as its back to 10mm again - what ho!

Of course.. mine was a silly consideration...

Well it was inevitable really, just pre ordered Maurice and a card set.  That's despite knowing nothing about the period or having no idea what armies I want or what war to do.

Any suggestions?

You're not alone on this one Chris . I am very tempted by these but am in the process of a severe spring clean of my wargamings stuff, so am desperately trying not to get another set of rules, figures etc.

You have more willpower than me I think Steve! Im going to do a bit of spring cleaning too I think. Got a few projects that I started and realistically will never finish that need getting rid of. Mind you its no small feat to search through my piles of unpainted lead and work out whats needed and whats not. Last time I did that I sold on a WW1 German force that I hadnt touched for 3 years only to find my gaming group wanting to put on a WW1 campaign 2 months later!

Lack of space and time more than willpower Chris . One advantage of not being able to get to a club anymore is that I'm no longer at mercy of the fickle trends within the club! Plus with 50% of my limited gaming being solo, I look for games such as BKC that work perfectly well for this. However I have downloaded the Maurice Minor rules to try and give them a run out over Easter, if family time etc permits.

Give me a shout if you fancy a non solo playtest of them!

Serotonin, much neglected by its earlier and former neighbours is the War of Austrian Succession. SYW figures will be fine for this - French don't have turnbacks. Some of the paint jobs are a little different, eg. Prussian dragoons wore a predominantly white uniform and most Austrian regiments sported coloured vests and pants. The Hungarian infantry are quite different as well. In fact with a very small number of extra figures Pendraken would easily be able to cover this very interesting war.

That sounds interesting. Will have to consider that. Certainly coming down on the side of the Seven Years war, but not sure on force choices. Possibly Prussian and Austrians, but would like to do Russians maybe.
