Title: Peninsular War using Rebels and Patriots
Post by: TWD on 26 April 2020, 08:25:26 PM

 took my slowly expanding Napoleonic collection for a spin  in a small game using Dan Mersey's Rebels and Patriots rules.

Small forces (16 pts a side) and using the first scenario in the book that involves capturing a hill.

Interesting game.  I agree R & P is a good general purpose set of "light" rules. We have had a lot of fun with it but not tried it for Naps yet.

A nice sized action. I think it is important to get games going once you have enough troops (I am happy to put unpainted down to do that), to help with the collecting and painting motivation and do decide on rules and basing etc early on.

That all seemed to work well and it's a nice looking game too.

With your recruitment drive Vodkafan it will not be long (lock-down allowing)
before you do.

Thank you all.
Yes Norm, getting small forces down was a good idea to maintain interest. I've got all the Redcoats I need (and more) but this has fired me up to finish some more French for a bigger game.
A plan that has been slightly stymied by rain meaning I can't get them undercoated.
