A new wargaming period?
After much thought, I have at last decided to carry out an old dream: to combine two seemingly incompatible wargaming periods: Napoleonic and Fantasy. Evidently, the idea is no new and there is at least a precedent: Flintloque is an old ruleset featuring British Orcs against French Elves, but it is a skirmish game and I searching for a game at divisional (Lasalle) or Army Corps (Napoleon's Battles).
A careful internet search has been unsuccessful so I am forced to introduce home-rules for my current rulesets. My first efforts will be addressed to integrate dragons as flying artillery: a mix of heavy artillery and light cavalry with more evasion capacities than horse artillery. Th above picture shows my old French dragoons with his new ally, providing them with a more fearful artillery support.
I am open to sugerences: Any idea?
Hello! Slaughterloo is the mass-combat game in the flintloque universe:

How about Prussian Werewolves and Russian Vampires? British Mermaids? ;-)
ReplyDeleteIs this an April Fools thing! Both you and Burkhard got me for a minute. I have always felt that Europeans have a better sense of humor then North Americans.

ReplyDeleteWell, the only 'flying artillery' in the Napoleonic times was the Horse Artillery of the Imperial Guard!
ReplyDeleteInocente, inocente!
My fantasy games indeed include Napoleonic forces in fantasy settings. See more at my blog, Quantrill's Toy Soldiers.
