For the last couple of weeks I've been looking forward to trying out a new set of Napoleonic rules, entitled Over the Hills, with my fellow addict Nick Turner.
Well today was the day and at the appointed hour I arrived at Turner Hall to find that, good to his word, he had set up a small Austrian v Bavarian game. We each had between 10 and 12 units of his beautifully painted 28mm foot, 4 to 6 of cavalry and half a dozen guns. In Turnerland this is positively tiny and I can but admire his restraint.
The game took about 2 hours, seemed to flow very well and, most importantly, was most enjoyable. I think we have a lot to learn but are looking forward to our next game which i am sure will be larger.
My initial feeling is that they are a first class, fast moving, set of rules where command & control and fatigue are critical.
Now back to re-reading the rules (and marking the QRF with the relevant page numbers)....
Great to hear you enjoyed the battle and the rules. Look forward to hearing and hopefully seeing more of your future engagements.
