me a couple of friends played black powder last night . had a blast . in the battle . the british had to hold off the french army from persueing the rest of their army . so the brits had to slow them down . the brits had a artillary battery ready to go . good bloody mess but the french managed to push up the road on the left but not after taking lots of casleutites . enjoy the pics

Great pictures and models and terrain! Looked like a blast inspired me to want to try it out looked like alot of fun! and truly epic with all the great models!

Are those 20mm miniatures?

Nice. Looks like lots of fun all round.

Look like 28mm Victirx and Perry plastics to me with some metals.

Thanks Big P.

If those are Victrix, I may be looking to buy some of their plastic Austrians (due out next year they say).

But what rules set to use? MattRendar used Black Powder but I'm not sure I like such random rules. What's the word on LaSalle?

Both sets of rules seems to have their 'lovers' and their 'haters'.

I have yet to play laSalle but Im not sure it will suit my preffered laid back style of gaming. Would like to try it, but at that price for the rulebook, Im not sure I will get the chance.

Black Powder works for my group as we are fast and loose with rules at the best of times... Plus all the games we have played have been immense fun.

there the perrys and victrix figs , perry and warlord have prussians coming out soon . and the long awaited plastic british cavlary !! i use the black powder rules there more beer and pretzel warmaster . ive used the wargames foundrys ''napoleon ''rules there pretty good . lasalle's suppost to be good buts more geared to 15mm . once youve seen the black powder rule book , beware you''ll be sucked in . i plan on doing zulu wars in 28mm with the black powder rules..histricals are a blast!

British vs French?! Surely those Frenchies are allowed four times as many points.. its only fair eh chaps?

Who makes the Black Powder rules?
