Hello,

I recently looked at another set of wargame rules that I’m comparing to Black Powder. What drew me to it was that it really creates the ambiguity of initiative in war that turn/phase based games don’t really capture. However, one of it’s drawbacks to me is its “pursuit” rules.

The game designer, a very nice man who always answers…[Read more]

Hello,

I designed my own markers for Black Powder rules. They are on 3/4″ round labels that you can print and put on a larger, 1″ plastic counter that I found online and at teacher supply stores. They normally come in 4 colors (red, blue, green, and yellow) but other colors are available.

You can find them on my blog post…[Read more]

Thank you, Mike.

Hello,

I played a 3rd solitaire battle. A leader was killed when the cavalry unit he joined was defeated in hand to hand combat. It took 4 casualties and had to retreat a move. The leader took 4 loss rolls and one of them was a 6. Therefore, the brigadier general is killed, wounded, or captured.

So, what I’m not finding in the rules is what now…[Read more]

George replied to the topic Beginners Question About Frontages in the forum Black Powder 4 years, 8 months ago

Hello, I’m a new player too but I’ve learned some things. One thing to keep in mind when building an army is how much playing space do you have. If you have a 6’x4′ table as I do you won’t be able to play large engagements in 28 mm unless you use 3 or 2 base units. Perhaps even 1 base for small and individual for tiny units! Also, you then need to…[Read more]

Hello,

I fought a 2nd battle this week. The report can be found on my blog at:

I called my battle “The Battle of Many Mistakes” because I sure made a lot of them. Not upset though. These are test games to learn. I plan to take my game to school this week to…[Read more]

Thanks Big Al but back to you said. What is the uphill advantage? I’m not reading it in the BP 2nd Ed. rules.

I’m American, too. I’m wondering if we can request, if on is willing to pay for it, for a professional carrier such as DHL, UPS, or FedEx to deliver packages?

George replied to the topic Warlord Games a DISGRACE: Epic Battles ACW Pre-order received in the forum General Discussion 4 years, 9 months ago

Wow. I’m sorry that happened to your order. Just thinking this through a little though. Are you in England? If not, did your package go through customs and get inspected? I’ve gotten packages opened before and resealed by customs.

George replied to the topic Questions from After My First Test Battle in the forum Black Powder 4 years, 9 months ago

Big Al, you say “There is an uphill advantage during combat which you lose if you are pushed back.” I’m going into the rules trying to find that uphill advantage. I can’t find it. What is that advantage?

George replied to the topic Questions from After My First Test Battle in the forum Black Powder 4 years, 9 months ago

Okay, more to ask.

6. There seem to be no movement penalties for moving up a hill or down one. Am I missing something? Shouldn’t I slow down a bit going up a hill?

Thank you Big Al.

Hello,

Well I got two armies now. One is Dutch (under a British COC) and the the other is Bavarian (under a French COC). Each army has a 3 regiment brigade of cavalry, a 3 battalion brigade of infantry, and a battery of 8lb smoothbore artillery.

So, I played a solitaire first game with Black Powder rules. I enjoyed testing the rules but came up…[Read more]
