Hi All,First post here. Some friends and I played our first 'Black Powder' game last weekend. Its a Napoleonic scenario I cobbled together, amalgamating several historical actions which took place during Moore's retreat to Corunna. We kept it relatively tiny and manageable so we could get our heads wrapped around the rule's mechanisms first. I've posted an after-action report on our blog. You can see it here:http://wpggamegeeks.blogspot.c.....rd-on.htmlI had a few fits and starts which were more my fault than the rules but we had a great time and are looking forward to trying BP again in the future.Cheers!

Excellent! A pleasure to read, and a great demonstration that BP can easily be adapted to small scenarios.

Excellent. A real nail biter. Great figs too. Proves that you don't need a house full of miniatures to have an entertaining game. Cheers!
