3)yep, made up anything i didn't like

1. Black Powder SYW

2. Austrians v Prussians

3. Not 100% comfortable with them as I think the Prussians have been made too strong. Frederick was reduced to a permanent 10 leadership. To be honest I think some of the Austrian troops could have more whistles and bells.

4. No not the first time. Have used them for SYW since the C18th supplement was published, but likely to give Field of Battle 2 a go with these armies.

5. The game was played with two players.

) What ruleset do you use in your last game? - WAB 2
2) What armies were confronted? - romans vs macedonians
3) Did you feel comfortable with the ruleset? - mmmmm, not my choice ruleset for ancient wargaming: apart from manouvre complaints, i really miss command and fatigue aspects of ancient wargame. the romans seems overpowered too.
4) and... was the first time do you use the ruleset? - No
5) How many players were in the game? - 4 players

OK, that unit's off the table, and so are those three.

I want my toys on the field for as long as possible!   ;D  They might be running away but they're still on the field looking pretty...  :D

Well said, it is one of the few times, when playing, that you get to see the front of them  ;) ;D ;D

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

1. Commands and Colours Napoleonics

2. Austria v. France

3. Very quickly got into the way the rules work.

4. This was the first time I'd played this game - more like a wargame in a box. Only the third Napoleonic game I've played in my life, and the most enjoyable. Next time Wagram.

5. Two player game.

Nosher

1. Bolt Action
2. US v german
3. Yes
4. Played loads of games of Bolt Action. Perfect for solo play and hollywood-esque. The close combat rules are sh*te, but I've modified them to suit my own preferences
5. solo. If I were playing an opponent Bolt Action would be shelved for Chain of Command

Sword and Spear
Greeks v. Persians
A great set of rules, really makes you think.
This was our 3rd game and we only needed the rule book once.
4 players with me umpiring.
