MY GAMING
With so well done 1870 of Bruce Weigle.
actually remix of 1870 and 1871 editions.
10 mm figures.
Exploring the idea of using the just bought excellent Age of Eagles (AOE) II with its adaptation Age of valor, coupled with 1870 command system, plus events cards. More soon.
15/18mm figures; scale 1" /=100m; units are batteries, cavalry brigades, infantry 1/2 divisions/ brigades or if big enough, down to regiments. Scales and representation fully adaptable.My creation, my long matured baby!
Used to play, very much in general reserve nowadays. Occasinnal battlefront game with a friend who has...everything for it. I d have most of the terrain though. Tipically;)
1/6000th ships and 1/12000 air from last Square /Magister Militum.
I enjoyed it very much...but one cannot play everything especially when others around..well don't play so much. And this one is not much solo and when I moved, selling the whole bunch to a friend (who is supposed to play well...) it filled my whole car. little skirmish game but well, you need country houses, then urban types, then these vehicles, then this orchards, then...
This was a test of Blücher rules with cards. I could not stand the disapearance of that very important and newish (when you do the revolution vs 18th century minded columns) organisational step: the division . And this 1815 prussians who could put all their Landwher on one side, ignoring real organization. A good game but lacking in history. Obviously I modified it, but still would not go further with it.
15/18 mm figs. So far I learned it more or less 3 times! no one wants to play and I allowed myself to forget it three times. Still very willing and have added even more troops. Soon....
15/18mm figs, mostly because I already had so much available, sometimes salivating looking at the enormous mass of good stuff in 28!
