They are a home cooked set, with activations a la Rebels and Patriots, etc and other bits borrowed from Volley and Bayonet and other rules. The rules work on a scale of 1'to 50yds with large bases of figures as a battalion of infantry, each with varying strengths, Prussians more than French for example and Austrian regiments being 4 stands while Prussians are 3. With the announcement of the Perry FPW range last year both Graham and I decided this was something we wanted to tackle, on a grand scale. This is a favourite period of mine, along with the 18th, (more on that in a minute). We tested a set of rules which I have worked up for playing multi divisional sized 19th century games and especially the Franco Prussian War. Looking back through my photos it was August.2019! The real world got in the way for a while but with the lifting of restrictions that changed at the weekend. It's been quite a while since Graham H and I have been able to have a game.
