Auerstadt 1806 Using Diceless Rules (Ein Ritter Spiel)

[Dale Hurtt]

After reviewing Chris Engle's four sets of miniatures rules – Jabberywocky, Ritter, Fusilier, and Ein Ritter Spiel – I decided to record a test battle using Ein Ritter Spiel using 6mm Napoleonics miniatures and a homemade game board for Command & Colors: Napoleonics. It is the battle of Auerstadt 1806 using the setup and terrain from the information from the Command & Colors: Napoleonics scenario booklet.

I had a lot of fun with these rules – more so because I had a solid scenario – and they definitely provided a decisive game in less than an hour.

If you have not read the rules review I recommend you start there. It might provide more insight into the battle report.

Here is the game at the start:
