I like fighting large wargames ... but they are only something that I can do infrequently, whereas a Morschauser-style game can be staged, fought, and packed away in no time at all.<br /><br />Good luck with your Napoleonic project.<br /><br />All the best,<br /><br />BobRobert (Bob) Corderyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13109130990434792266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6933470253715910366.post-28715924619076586002014-02-02T20:58:39.446+00:002014-02-02T20:58:39.446+00:00Almost a couple of years back now, I had major hou...Almost a couple of years back now, I had major house repairs done to earthquake damage, and scored a couple of sizable sheets of 5-ply. The larger was left rather irregularly shaped, but trimmed down to the shape of a house's gable end and painted green on one face, looked to be just the deal for small games. The gable bit adds a little extra ground in the centre, or might be used to stand dice, drinks and other wargaming detritus.<br /><br />It has been sitting in my shed ever since. The smaller piece is standing yet against the side of the house, and probably ought to get itself rescued!<br /><br />I mention this because your 'Itchy and Scratchy' and OP14 rule sets, and the Joe Morshauser epistle I have just read inspires me to revisit these serendipitous acquisitions, perhaps pretty them up a bit and lay out a 3"x3" grid.<br /><br />Something to think about at any rate! t'would be a pity to waste them.Archduke Piccolohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15533325665451889661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6933470253715910366.post-59473847813505452092014-02-02T20:14:35.201+00:002014-02-02T20:14:35.201+00:00That short article had an eerily similar effect on...That short article had an eerily similar effect on me. I was about to fight a large-ish Peninsular War battle when all of a sudden I was dragged back by Morschauser into thinking "but what I *really* need to be doing is designing a series of Napoleonic rules all playable on a small gridded board to cover everything from a 'Sharpe'-type skirmish to huge Leipzig/Dresden type games..."<br /><br />Regards<br /><br />JohnJWHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01637785437909299947noreply@blogger.com
