MdE is their one for big actions. Of course we have quite happily used Shako for games from about 20 000 to 200 000 combatants, as you mob have with Field of Battle! I am finishing off the report of Bailén which I think will give you a better idea of how they played. It was the 'deal breaker' for us (for Napoleonics).James Fisherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17897755636246185173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8493556920707083758.post-6671634861742317712013-05-16T08:41:50.477+08:002013-05-16T08:41:50.477+08:00Thanks for the review!

However, it does seem likely that the fact that they are intended for 6mm, fast play means that a Corps is probably a rather small amount of troops for the game, and the focus must be on the "Big Picture". That is inevitably going to mean some com[promises. Overall, I suspect you'd prefer Snappy Nappy for games aimed at this level. For more tactical games, other rules (like Shako2, Field,of Battle, etc) would be more likely to give you the feel that you are looking for. <br /><br />Still, almost every rules set that I try gives me some ideas and/or inspiration for rules concepts! The presence of at least one ready made scenario is always a welcome plus!<br /><br />PeterGonsalvohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16531623280789478092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8493556920707083758.post-51692541966956912062013-05-15T20:10:38.503+08:002013-05-15T20:10:38.503+08:00Nice review!
