Besides Lasalle and Black Powder, any other good rulesets for 28mm Napoleonic available ?

League of Augsberg's Republic to Empire is worth a look, but I'm quite happy with Black Powder. I just wish they'd do a Continental Europe supplement to cover Russia and Austria.

I really like General de Brigade. It has a good balance between realistic portrayal of Napoleonic warfare and speed of play.

I have played La Salle, Shako and Black Powder and I think these games while good for those who like fast play. However,  IMHO they sacrifice to much realism for  faster and shorter length games.

Also,  GdeB has its own Blog site where there is much discussion and friendly banter about the use of GdeB. Also the creator of GdeB, David Brown, administers the site and offers clarification on the rules.

Dear Boy,
I would use  BP. You have an advantage of adapting the troops to the
flavour of the conflict. Greeks steadfast in defense, Turks bloodthirsty ,
Egyptians  maybe wavering .

Clarence has be taken by Victorian Steel . This is a new set and he
thinks this would be just right . It is at company level.


Keep it up
Cecil
