Hey guys,

This is slightly old news, but I didn't see it posted here and I hadn't checked Sam Mustafa's website for awhile. Anyway, his latest game in the Honour series, Maurice, has been released. It's a 18th century Enlightenment-era game (basically Pre-Napoleonic horse and musket). Has anyone been following this or played it yet? I'm a big fan of his Lasalle rules, and I noticed the current release deals on his website and went ahead and ordered a copy of Maurice. There is a sale going on now until the end of May 13th, so if anyone was planning on getting this, now is probably the best time.

I haven't read through the entire PDF yet, but on the surface it looks pretty slick. The game uses cards and there's also a "Succession Wars" campaign system, and the game is supposed to be ideal for both historical scenarios and Imagi-Nations type games. I'll post my thoughts when I get a chance to read a bit more, and when I get my hands on the physical book and cards I'll provide some details about them as well (won't be for a couple months though, unfortunately ).

There is also a free Maurice Lite ruleset along with cards available for free on the website here.

I'll be playing it next month, saw the cards and book today and it looked like a quality product.

I've got his older big Napoleonic battle rules -- can't remember the name ATM.

They are well written and full of interesting ideas.

Is it Grand Armee? I've heard it's a pretty solid grand tactical ruleset. Does it have flexible basing rules, like his other games? I wouldn't mind picking up a copy at some point, but I'm trying to get a Lasalle force together first. Of course, if the basing flexible, then it'd be easy to make the switch (something I really like about Lasalle and Maurice).

Grand Armee, yes. It is designed for very large battles.

The bases are 3 inch square, representing a brigade. All my 6mm Naps are based on 60mm square for Baccus's Marechal de l'Empire.

It just needs a bit of adjustment to the distance scale to use them with Grande Armee.

When it comes to Napoleonics I am mainly interested in large battles with grand tactical movement.
