Title: The Quatre Bras Project -- We Will Remember
Post by: Cyrano on January 18, 2021, 11:02:41 PM
I am mightily displeased that the locals let the last remnant of the Quatre Bras battlefield be torn down.

And I now realize that I have Quatre Bras built or available for the following systems:

1.  Black Powder 2
2.  Blucher
3.  Commands and Colors: Napoleonics (weirdly, no epic or LGB version available, even unofficial)
4.  Lasalle 2 (rules due out soon)
5.  Napoleon's Last Battles
6.  Shako 2
7.  Snappy Nappy (almost)
8.  Volley and Bayonet (also almost)

With the decision not to release v. 2, I've scratched my LPE project.

I have embraced the notion of playing through them all. and declaring which of them is our favorite.   Or, put differently, which we prefer?  Thing of it is, each game has a different player count.  Shako, for example, could readily seat 4-6.  C&C is pretty well two.  So, with that in mind, who wants to be on the test team such that I'll seek you out come either Wednesday (more likely) and Saturday (for the bigger games)?

Also open to hearing which you'd like to learn or test.

Jeff already knows he's explaining "BP2".

If you can set some on Euro-friendly times, count me in. Noob to all but C&C:N.

I'd be up for another game of blucher and as always a bit of a wildcard if you need a player on anything else :)

Hrmmm...this is interesting.

I may get to Polemus and it has a scenario, but MN doesn't support scenarios.

I was actually going to suggest something like this, Leipzig for Snappy Nappy, say.

No.

Just, no.

OK, maybe...

But probably not.

You know you want to. You're already missing that sweet, sweet Leipzig action.

When is our first game
Title: Re: The Quatre Bras Project -- We Will Remember
Post by: Cyrano on January 27, 2021, 03:05:59 PM
Soon, but not yet.

I want to put out a small narrative about it before we start.

We will begin, however, with C&C Napoleonics and "Napoleon's Last Battles", both of which, I think would be fine Wednesday fodder.  Each requires only two players.
