Black Powder and One Hour wargames
« on: 24 December 2016, 08:22:49 PM »
Black Powder and One Hour Wargames,

A special Christmas blog post that covers a single scenario that is played twice ... once by each set of rules.

The post is unusually long and has several embedded video clips, it also has links to related articles and taken together will, I hope, provide some wargaming entertainment over the Christmas period.

I am not setting this post up as something that is particularly insightful, but rather the long post has been put together as one bloggers recognition that plenty of people have some spare time on Christmas Day and the internet for wargame content is pretty quiet.

So please wander over, there is probably about an hours worth of new material and countless hours of archived articles.

Just spent a happy hour reading your blog Norm, excellent stuff, two good, stiff fights, that could have gone either way right up to the last dice rolls...
hope you court marshalled that dopey Reb Artillery Occifer in the second game!

Many thanks for the review. I agree, the OHW rules can be augmented to 3-4 pages long to give some extra period flavor. Otherwise, my favorite set of rules!
