Classic Napoleonics: Wargame Rules in the Age of Scruby by Kenneth Robert MacKie

Description: Classic Napoleonics by Kenneth Robert MacKie Esq, Raymond James Jackson M.A. Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description "Classic Napoleonics allows you to take command of the forces of the Napoleonic Period whether you are trying to recreate the famous battles of that era or are trying your hand at battle situations of your own making. Perhaps more importantly, these rules are FUN!" - Gary Zaharek "Classic Napoleonics" is more than a set of wargame rules. It is a homage to the "Father of American Wargaming", Jack Scruby. And it contains the philosophical reasoning behind a given set of rules - how rules must strike a reasonable balance between a playable, enjoyable game, and historical accounts of actual battles, weapons, troop qualities and capabilities. All too often, this last component is ignored, leading to many a heated discussion during the heat of battle. These rules are being offered to miniature wargamers of all levels of experience, to other types of gamers and to the general public. Experienced miniature wargamers, being either amateur or professional history buffs, will appreciate a set of rules that not only evolved from rules from the "Golden Age" of miniature wargaming (1955 to 1970) but still maintains both the flavor and the feel of that era. "Classic Napoleonics" includes a full set of rules for large-scale wargaming plus "A Hole Runs Through It", rules for small-scale or individual figure gaming. Reproducible templates for rosters and handy reference sheets containing the movement and combat charts allow for quick, easy and fun gaming experiences.
