This sounds great, especially the expansion of the miniature line!

I’m not all that familiar with the Ottoman ships of the time – something I’ll need to correct before the release.

I have both the Rubicon and Italeri/Warlord kits .  Rubicon’s ammo boxes are not to scale or even look the part I’m afraid . The I/W gives you 2 boxes , and although I have cast my own pieces before , lately my results have been less than favorable  edging towards disaster  . I really don’t want to risk it . I think the Shapeways ones might do th…[Read more]

I was going to say that if you could get one of wicker ammo boxes from a Rubicon Models 88 kit, you could reproduce this by making a “modellers mold”. However, the link SteveT give us above might even be an easier and faster solution.

WOW ! Those look great . Thank you for letting me know about those

1) VT… these are national rules for the RN & USN and so dont cost points….

2) If you go to news from the wardroom thread there should be a subs 101 & a cheat sheet … between these two files will help you work out how they work.

I ended up opting to split the infantry bases in half giving bases of 30 x 20mm and stick with 4 bases per battalion.  The cavalry are also based on 30mm wide bases, 3 per base but sticking to the Epic standard of 3 bases per regiment.  The 50% reduction allows for a full Black Powder game on a 6′ x 4′ table (the equivalent of playing on a 12′ x 8…[Read more]

The two most popular seem to be just use cm in place of inches (but that’s always seemed way too short for everything for me) or just half all the inch distances.  Of the two I prefer the latter but we have actually produced our own QRS sheets where we have changed the inches to cm and added 25% to everything, not just the artillery ranges.

You will also sometimes see the +1 / +2 confusingly written as D1 / D2.  So essentially there is just +1 / +2 or D3 (as was pointed out above use a D6 where 1/2 = 1; 3/4 = 2; 5/6 =3).  I actually use a D3 dice.
