Thanks Barry I can see you are aware of what the TMP polls really mean, not much. However, I still think it is a huge community that can be very helpful in getting more people to try your rules. As to Paul I will have to defend the TMP community which I am actually quite happy to be a part of. Yes t...

AS to free advertising, I bought the rules based on the information I found on TMP and I would hazard a guess that the majority of your US gamers found out about the rules through TMP. As to your use of free advertising. I was referring to after action reports and even put links to your scenarios in...

Hi I can understand being annoyed at the wording of the poll but what paul is doing is just going to piss a lot of people off and it is going to reflect badly on the rules. I know it makes no sense but that is the nature of the beast. I would take a look at the poll and see that in comparison to Bla...

Hi Dave I guess it is the level of detail in battlion formations. I would not use them for larger than Corps size games, probably because I dont have enough people to play that level of game. The reality is even a skrimish game can be used to play Corps level engagements. But you are correct you guy...

Hi Ray Thanks for that and I will try to respond but this will be a little long as there are lots of aspects to this question and various aspects I would like to explain. I apologize for the lenght of this post! Well my rules and Barry’s are very different on many levels first is probably the focus ...

Hi Ray I have written my own they are called From Valmy to Waterloo and where printed by Clash of Arms, published in 1995 and still played by dozens of groups around the world, so I guess the “if you have not written any rules you have no right to comment” argument is dead! Sorry to offend but if th...

Hi Ray Yes we are going around and around. The problem seems to be as per the rules when the cavalry launched it self at infantry did they frequently destroy themselves with futile attempts to break the square. This is what I don’t see happening in the period as often as it seems to happen in the ru...

My point is not that it was a very very rare event, which I have admitted, but rather it did happen. My response was to various comments that a formed square was invulnerable to cavalry, this is obviously false. That is all, not that it should be common occurrence in our games but that under certain...

Thanks Kiwi
I am always amazed at how strong some wargame myths are!

Here are a few with just a quick google search. An Excellent article both about cav being stopped by squares and squares breaking. As you can see it is not that uncommon so it is not possible to say a square is invulnerable. I started to add up the number of squares broken and I was well of 25 so he...

Hi Ray I will dig up the list, the first time I saw it was in an old Strategy and Tactics magazine probably from the early 90s, the second time I saw it was I think in Empries Eagles and Lions. It is one of those myths that we only think a square could be broken if it was caught before it was formed...

I was not going to get into this as when I was doing my research the cavalry was interesting in that it was amazing what was done with the cavalry during the period. The depth of their ability is usually lost in most rules. But I enjoy these rules and love to tinker to make things fit my views of th...

They moved the photos to another thread, here it is.

Hi Well I know most use 28mm but really we all know that those are just toy soldiers :wink: If you want to see wargame figures then take a look at this amazing 10mm range just strarting at Pendraken. http://www.pendrakenforum.co.uk/index.php?topic=2026.15 Scroll down to see some photos. I can just i...

Thanks to all those that have liked them, I will be going over them a little and adding some other reminders and things from the rules that would be helpful. I will if there is enough interest redo them with the 28mm scales if I find the time!
