FP019 - Napoleon (Miniature Wargames Rule Book)
Napoleon is not just another set of rules, it is packed full of information on one of the most colourful and dramatic periods in European history.
232 pages (see below) full colour, A4 sized hardback, over 400 colour photographs and illustrations, including many Knotël prints, plus numerous diagrams, maps and other illustrations.
Napoleon contains a unique set of entertaining rules that are flexible enough to be used with almost any basing conventions. It also includes many army lists for the most popular Napoleonic armies, plus advanced rules covering such diverse subjects as pontoon bridges, grand battery fire, ground conditions, setting fire to buildings, friendly fire and ambulances!
Napoleon also features articles on painting and collecting Napoleonic models plus many other sections detailing uniforms and historical background. For the miniature painters and collectors, Kevin Dallimore has added his own article on painting Napoleonic models using his unique style.
If you are interested in painting, collecting or wargaming with toy soldiers, or interested in the Napoleonic era any way, then this book is for you.
We also are focusing on the Black Powder rule set by Warlord games and have copys in stock now;Black Powder is a game for the militarily inclined gentlemen with straight backs, bristling beards and rheumy eyes that have seen a thing or two. If tales of battle and glory in days-gone-by stir nothing in your breast, if the roar of cannon does not quicken the pulse and set fire in the belly, then this is not the rule set for you. These rules are not a light hearted adventure but one to be tackled by the strong heart.
