Playing Tin Soldiers in Action using Wooden Napoleonic Figures
« on: 28 November 2016, 08:36:05 PM »
Ironically, I am playing a test game of Tin Soldiers in Action using my handmade 42mm wooden Napoleonic soldiers. You can read the first part of the battle report on my blog. http://daleswargames.blogspot.com/2016/11/test-battle-for-tin-soldiers-in-action.html

So far the rules have produced an interesting game to fit my particular problem, which is large figure size with small unit size.



Anyone else using these rules? (The authors apparently playtested with the group Zinnsoldatan Hessen and Tin Soldiers of Antwerp.)

Regards,

Dale

And the conclusion of the battle, commentary on the comments from various forums, discussions with the author, and my game rating of the rules.

Plus a little eye candy to go with that.

Wow - I love these Dale! Have just found your Wooden Warriors blog and am now going to try and make some for my new-born son to get help get him sucked into wargaming a bit down the line. I've got a few years to build up the skills! Oh who am I kidding, they'll be as much for me as for him!

Best
