Can the 1866 Northstar Prussians be used to the FPW?

Thats the Helion range, yes they can
The Victorian Outpost

Its a new gaming place in Grimsby with new terrain and new scenery, lots of respect for all wargamers and is the best place to game in town.

Anybody who wishes to visit the venue to arrange a game then  just pm me and lets roll those dice.

Thanks for the info.
Do you use full distance movement ?
Do you allow the Heavy Krupps to fire overhead ?
Thanks,

Full distance yes, but the French just stand the ground and the secret of the Prussians is just be prepared to lose battalions and keep pushing as more regiments pile on the game table,Krupps no only on hills, they hardly used the heavy guns to the sound of the battle, just unlimber and fire mass and move forward slowly

I was thinking of giving the chassepot a range of 36cm to 18 cm for the needle.
4 fire dice for up to half range. Normal 3 dice for over half range.
To reflect the higher volume of fire.
To heavy MR Nevermore, or could still give a good game.
As musket fire is 3 dice ,with an 1 extra dice for breechloaders.
I use 6mm so this why it is in cm.
Thanks
