I think, for me, my preference ...Hi Jon, thank you.<br />I think, for me, my preference would be to use C&G because I think I get more out of the game given all the things that C&G can do painlessly. Namely, fatigue, command & control and the associated friction whilst keeping a running score of where both armies are at during the game together with a clear picture of the after effects. That aspect is just brilliant.<br /><br />However on those occasions when I'm playing with friends who want to roll dice and play Napoleonics or when I want to throw a quick game together without the preparation that comes with C&G, I am looking for a set of rules that work with my collection and that give a fun simulation that is easy to pick up any time.<br /><br />I do think these are the best second option that I have tried so far and am inclined to persist with them. What I particularly like is that given they have developed out of other players wanting to put their own rules together using tried and trusted mechanisms, I think they are very easily adapted to some of my own inclinations, which we tried out in this game. I need to play them again to give a more definitive answer, but first impressions are favourable.carojonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11826580638291659193noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2328566982075412654.post-64891012036456883152015-05-12T21:32:03.801+01:002015-05-12T21:32:03.801+01:00Very enjoyable BatRep, Jonathan!

Looks like your C&G/NapWars basing fits fine with this new set of rules. Is it a system in which you would more study and play or is C&G your final answer?<br /><br />Great work as always.Jonathan Freitaghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07862373894196924886noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2328566982075412654.post-84644295466148972762015-05-12T20:29:02.982+01:002015-05-12T20:29:02.982+01:00This comment has been removed by the author.Jonathan Freitaghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07862373894196924886noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2328566982075412654.post-60105528670300744782015-05-10T19:19:52.202+01:002015-05-10T19:19:52.202+01:00Hi Jeremy, you got it one.

Yes I too saw the reference to the new look Gilder rules which caught my eye being a former Grand Manner man - they look very interesting.<br />Yes those Germans have been very patient waiting for the Spanish to get the attention of the brush so it was really nice to get them blooded at last.carojonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11826580638291659193noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2328566982075412654.post-62002866995080054662015-05-10T16:28:50.092+01:002015-05-10T16:28:50.092+01:00This has all of the hallmarks of a great wargame, ...This has all of the hallmarks of a great wargame, pretty toys, pretty scenery, a well planned scenario and good chums trying out something new before heading to the pub! <br />As you know we Marauders favour General de Brigade but like you I am always looking around for something new, this week Elite Minis publish a new set and this C&C set seem intriguing too.<br />Lastly, has it really been 9 months since you started the French ally contingent?
