Mid 18th century siege rules?
« on: 17 March 2011, 08:29:24 AM »
Anyone know of any decent, fast play, siege rules for this period?  I like to get the toys on the table, and a siege looks fabulous from an eye candy point of view, but I want to mKe it exciting.  This means plenty of small scale actions as well as the backdrop of the formal 'big' siege context.  Any or all thoughts gratefully received.

Thanks

Steve

All limitations are self imposed.  Work hard and dream big.

I know what you mean, but neither do I want a realtime game of the Turkish siege of Crete, which lasted forty years... lol
