Vodkafan, I am sure I have a copy of Paddy Griffith's 'Napoleonic Wargames for fun' I will try & find it, (but you know how 'untidy' my filing system is at the moment)
Republic to Empire is specifically designed for 1:20 Napoleonics with big battalions. No need to try and fudge something else.Battles can go up to mega multiplayer multi day affairs, but the base design is for a Division or supported Brigade level game.4-6 Battalions.The rulebook is currently on overstock sale for just £10 direct from League of Augsburg:https://www.leagueofaugsburg.com/shop/products-cat-1.htmlSuperb book, even if you don't use the rules the sections on organisation and force lists are well worth that money. Not to mention the wonderful pictures. Possibly the prettiest Napoleonic rulebook you will ever find.
robh, I have tried several times two days running but can't reach the website, it keeps timing out.
Could I suggest a slight rethink? 24 figure battalions still look pretty cool in 28mm so why not try for a small division of 8 battalions of 24 rather than 4 battalions of 48? The former would give a much better game and wouldn’t take too long with rules like Black Powder? It would still be do-able on say a 4 x 6 foot table.
Hi Vodkafan I would go with General de Brigade i play it with War of 1812 and having a brigade or 2 max on the table is fine the games dont last long with 4-8 units you can push through the turns quick , and its nice to see 36-40 fig units on the table in 28mm... so with in 2 hours you will have a result. What i do is take the casualties off as we go as well so you get the feel that them units are taking a pounding I hope you stick with your project happy gaming hope this helps LR. P.S General de Brigade is a great set of rules .
