Ooh nice upload. Just saw this was coming out yesterday, right as I'm finishing my 6mm ACW :D

Definitely worth taking a look at

Great review and looks an interesting set of rules. I had never looked at Osprey rules till a couple of weeks ago when I played The Men Who Would Be Kings in 20mm. Great rule set for a club night, and sounds like these will be the same easy to pick up the basics and fun to play :). I am trying not to be distracted from painting DAK for the game in a few weeks' time 😂

😆 Stay on target! …this applies to me as well 😅

@@MiniatureRealms I’m already distracted ! I was painting a Brit 1940 Battalion in 15mm. But as usual it stalled looking for Matilda’s and Vickers tanks and a carrier company (or more) then Bedford or Morris 15cwt GS trucks this is for O Group. And Chain of Command And I Ain’t Been Shot Mum. At least I tell myself that I’m reducing projects but if that was true why is my lead pile getting bigger…

😆 You describe the predicament of many a wargamer very well.

I’m very glad I preordered the rules after seeing this 👍

Thx for the review. The Blue Series is usually of a high standard. I'm no longer a fan of base removal, but will give this probably a go.

@MiniatureRealms 9 ай бұрын

I’ve heard good things about most of the blue series, need to try out a few more.

Excited to check it out! Love using a D10, D6 can be so swingy.

@MiniatureRealms 9 ай бұрын

Can’t remember the last time I used D10 in a wargame, looking forward to it too.

@samb2052 9 ай бұрын

Depends how you use the D10. In some systems it’s worse than the D6.

@leonleese4919 9 ай бұрын

@@MiniatureRealms I use a D20 to convert casualties in men to figure removal Say you kill 25men with a musket volley remove 1 figure a throw a d 20 if the men lost is 5 add this to the die roll if the total is 20 or more you kill another figure. Roll your d6 and d20 together to save time. I use the d20 score as 0 to 19 added to the odd men killed so that if 19 men are killed you must roll 1 or more. Just saves writing down casualties.

I will buy these in paperback format. I would ha hoped that I could get a much discounted kindle version if ordered at the same time especially if pre ordered 😁 A great review Stewart perhaps I may buy some Epic minis, I have old strip minifigs that would mix in ..

I wish more companies did a discounted digital copy when you bought a physical product.

It would be interesting to use the Unexpected Event Table for blunders in a game of Black Powder. And try having an artillery phase as well.

@MiniatureRealms 9 ай бұрын

Absolutely, you probably try those with a few adjustments

@asgaard636 7 ай бұрын

Looks like a combination of "Black Powder" and "Pickett's Charge".....

@MiniatureRealms 7 ай бұрын

I heard a few people say that, sounds like a good mix.

@stevetjames7922 5 ай бұрын

Is it intended for a 6x4 table?

@MiniatureRealms 5 ай бұрын

It can definitely be played on a 6x4, much will depend on figure scale and number of miniatures. I think the rulebook suggests 6x4 minimum.

@erics745 9 ай бұрын

Would this really be compatible with warlord epic ? Thanks

@MiniatureRealms 9 ай бұрын

It’s compatible with any scale really, depending on basing you may need to record casualties with a dice/tokens until enough are removed to remove a base.
