I guess this proves that there are just too many Napoleonics rules sets out there for our own good, but one in particular that i own and have played (and forgot to mention) is the Napoleon's Battles system.
These are traditional rules for 15mm Napoleonic Miniatures. The
basic game covers weather, routing, command & control, movement
& maneuver, defensive reaction, fire, combat, and pursuit. The
basic rules are more complex than most miniature games. Advanced and
optional rules add depth in the areas of fatigue, morale, evasion,
special cavalry rules, supply chains, hidden movement, and generals.
Like most Napoleonic minature games, the basic turn segments are:
- Rally
- Command & Control
- Move
- Fire
- Close combat(called All-out attack in this game)
- Casualties (including routs)
- Morale
Each player in turn determines which units are in control, moves, is
subjected to fire, engages in close combats, the results of combat are
resolved, and then the second player goes through the same sequence.
The winner can be determined by control of scenario objectives, a loss of army morale, and/or casualty counts.
Combats are resolved via the rolling of a d10 and a combat table that
is modified for a large number of factors, ranging from troop quality
to current formation.
Data for a large variety of nationalities and troop types are included.
Includes an introduction to miniature wargaming bookle and cardboard counters that can be used in place of miniature stands.
An updated version of this game (3rd edtion) was released in 2009 by Lost Battalion Games. This edition has been upgraded to a 100 page rules book, 56 page reference book, 12 scenarios and over 180 status cubes and markers.
