I am really pleased that you found that they produced a fast moving and exciting game; that is exactly what they were designed to do.<br /><br />The actual tabletop battle might not be portable ... but the rules are in that they can be adapted quite easily to a variety of different historical periods.<br /><br />I look forward to reading future battle reports.<br /><br />All the best,<br /><br />BobRobert (Bob) Corderyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13109130990434792266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6933470253715910366.post-13382064307303989532017-09-15T14:27:00.468+01:002017-09-15T14:27:00.468+01:00Hi Bob

Link below:<br /><br />http://bobthepainter.blogspot.co.uk/search/label/Battle%20of%20Tchernaya%20River<br /><br />The rules provided a very fast moving and exciting game that allowed me to used large numbers of troops, during a short game. I will use them again.<br /><br />Bob<br /><br />Bob The Old Painterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12799920263660656268noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6933470253715910366.post-55785901774946962622017-09-15T11:15:50.894+01:002017-09-15T11:15:50.894+01:00Archduke Piccolo,

I think that they will give a good game, and I will certainly give them a tryout if the opportunity - and the time - arises.<br /><br />All the best,<br /><br />BobRobert (Bob) Corderyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13109130990434792266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6933470253715910366.post-75227476829356161922017-09-14T22:54:04.481+01:002017-09-14T22:54:04.481+01:00I had a quick read.

They seem to indicate the possibility of splitting units between two (or more) grid areas. Still only thinking about them, though...

From what I have seen, you seem to be developing an interesting set of rules, and I wish you good luck with your efforts. I hope that I will be able to give you feed-back in due course, especially as I have been slowly developing my own PORTABLE NAPOLEONIC WARGAME over the past year or so.<br /><br />All the best,<br /><br />BobRobert (Bob) Corderyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13109130990434792266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6933470253715910366.post-71654966676563666652017-09-14T16:27:15.786+01:002017-09-14T16:27:15.786+01:00Bob,

I would greatly appreciate any feedback or criticisms you may have on them. They can be found at compactwargaming.blogspot.com. I have been reading this blog for some time now and really appreciate it.
