I am pleased that you found this one worth reading. We played a small game based on the Battle of Düna with them. I really liked them, Mark not so much. There is a link to a report of it in the 'Great Northern War' tab above, if you are interested. They are definitely on my list to play again.<br />Combining these two points (past posts and rules for the Great Northern War), only last night I was made aware of 'Twilight of the Sun King' published by the Pike and Shot Society (c/- a game and review on the blog 'Un Marius Sinon Rien!'). This lead me to find some older reviews/playtests and then ordering the rules. Like GaPa, they have a genuinely innovative system. The photos of the games people have played with them look superb. I'll be interested to see how they go and to add them to rules that I'll use for the period.James Fisherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17897755636246185173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8493556920707083758.post-70945859122300295822020-03-07T02:07:27.908+08:002020-03-07T02:07:27.908+08:00Coming (very) late to the party on this.

I might dig them out again, have a read through and see if I feel like giving them a try.nundankethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12895608927860103442noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8493556920707083758.post-32033075781396001032016-10-16T09:28:38.063+08:002016-10-16T09:28:38.063+08:00Thanks David, pleased that it was of interest.

WSS, Waterloo then GNW painting - I am going to be happily busy for years - I just hope I can get Swedes to look even half as good as these!Julian Rochehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17670263328608312736noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8493556920707083758.post-78969553347173446492014-08-04T19:04:05.982+08:002014-08-04T19:04:05.982+08:00Oh no, how embarrassing.

I look forward to reading about the first game with these rules, <br /><br />Being of remotely Danish ancestry, exclamations in Swedish are verbotten! I do rather like the Norwegian expression, "Uhf da!" for when things are going sour, though! :-)Gonsalvohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16531623280789478092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8493556920707083758.post-70321679140411999152014-08-04T08:55:19.100+08:002014-08-04T08:55:19.100+08:00Excellent write-up, I'm almost tempted.Excellent write-up, I'm almost tempted.Sun of Yorkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07315805432481558574noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8493556920707083758.post-86498280875342701892014-08-04T03:41:04.663+08:002014-08-04T03:41:04.663+08:00 Terrific overview of Ga Pa, James!
