Perhaps the LWS rules that Musket and Marshals is based on, or perhaps Bruce Quarrie’s or Charles Grant’s Napoleonic Wargaming rules (or maybe a variant of “The Wargame” by Grant), or maybe Donald Featherstone’s Wargames rules, or “Charge!” by Lawford and Young. Lots to choose from, even back in the day. And don’t forget, lots of folks wrote their own rules, so it might be your local club’s rules, or even your own.

The conversions I am most proud of are the Swedish cuirassiers which are from mainly Alberken British heavy dragoons and some HH household cavalry. The HH are, I think piratical, because they have a mould line down the face that looks like they had survived a sabre slash from a Danish light dragoon early in their career. Still I love them vecause I had to create new holster caps for them from dripped and hammered molten solder! <br />I am touched by WM's felicitous comments . Matt and I were awed by WM's gorgeous hussars, Prussians are not generally rated in the beauty stakes, but these were stunning.lewisgunnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01935143236897047636noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4242408484763644333.post-56853954515749122452018-06-11T20:23:41.352+12:002018-06-11T20:23:41.352+12:00Gorgeous game - just wondering, with all these old...Gorgeous game - just wondering, with all these old-school troops on the table, what rules would the originals have been using back in the day?Robnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4242408484763644333.post-6809296185317741542018-06-11T09:42:54.779+12:002018-06-11T09:42:54.779+12:00A fantastic looking game...
