Black Powder on a small table - all videos done
« on: November 18, 2016, 09:58:47 AM »
Getting Black Powder onto a (very) small gaming space. The following links follow an AAR with examples of game mechanics demonstrated. The videos were uploaded daily as a serialised project, but here are all the links to a job done !

Video trailer - 1 minute fun intro - LINK 

Video 1 - an introduction to the battle, a discussion of the rules, situation and forces involved (uploaded 15th November 2016).  - LINK

Video 2 - Covering troop deployment and the first turn. Includes examples of issuing orders and shooting. (Uploaded 16th November 2016) - LINK

Video 3  - Covering Turn 2 and giving examples of charging to combat and the hand - to - hand phase. (Uploaded 17th November 2016) - LINK

Video 4 - Covering Turns 3 to the end of the game, with examples of enfilade fire and other mechanics shown, together with quite a lot of nuances that create a bit of decision making. (Uploaded 18th November 2016) - LINK

Link to the blog article that covers the whole thing, including scenario details etc - LINK http://battlefieldswarriors.blogspot.co.uk/2016/11/black-powder-on-pinboard.html
