Evening,

Something I have been threatening for a while, my rules for adding in National Characteristics to General de Brigade.

Now I know that National Characteristics aren't everyones cup of tea and I am quite happy that they are a throwback to the nostalgia of my early gaming days in the 1980s rather than having a basis in hard historical fact, but I like them.

So this is my Conversion Kit, it isn't a stand alone set of rules, you need GdeB as well, a good knowledge of Quarrie would be a benefit.

If you are of a certain age and fancy some NCs back in your life this could be for you.

Comments and playtests most welcome.

Regards Ken

K,

Interesting stuff - especially I came from the Quarrie Napoleon's Campaigns in Miniature world as well!

You may wish to take a look at the General de Brigade Scenarios Vol 1 - I've included a section on National Characteristics similar to Quarrie - so may be useful for you to compare and contrast.

Cheers for the reply,

I think everyone of a certain age had some form of contact with Quarrie.

I do have all the Scenario books but don't remember that section in Vol 1, I will have to dig it out and look.
