I really appreciate your videos. I enjoy your slow pace, good structure and interesting topics. Thanks so much for making your videos. I'm entering Napoleonics with 6mm scale from Baccus6mm. This video is a great source of information.
Thx. 🙏 Ah Baccus.. hadn't Warlord released Epic P&S I would have entered the 30YW with 6mm. 😋 A Polemos review may be possible. The rules are on shelf. 😉
Thanks for all these videos. I would really appreciate if you could do an introduction to each of the main Napoleonics armies, especially the various German states, Prussia and Austria. Their history, unit organization and relative performance/ reputation on the battlefield etc. I’m currently building a Spanish army of 1808 vintage and the French VI corps Italian divisions to oppose them, but thinking of the 1813 campaign next and maybe starting with a mixed Prussian/Russian force (or maybe swap the Russians for Swedes…but just don’t want to deal with Bernadotte!).
@@astonbridgman185 That wouldn't be an easy task... but I'll think about it. A lot of it is a question of morale and leadership... but that's almost where I could start. Thx for watching and this thought approach. 🙏
An excellent video. I enjoyed many fun Napoleonic games with only cardboard counters in the early 90s using Napoleon's Battles. Where would you place Sharpe Practice in your list or an older game like Shako? Have you tried the rules called "Over the Hills"? There seems to be so many Napoleonic rule sets over the years, it is no wonder people can find it overwhelming. 🙂 Thank you once again for your thoughtful presentation .
I tried to limit myself to the corps and division level games, so Sharps is out of competition. (And I still haven't tried it, even though I've own the rules for 2 years.) 🙄 I like Shako. AE prepares well for Shako as a second step... if you like old school. ☺️ I don't know "Over the Hills" yet, I'll have to take a look and "Napoleon's Battle" is still a to-do on the shelf. 😁 So much choice and possibilities! 😋
This may just be me since this does not seem common, but I enjoy single basing my miniatures for skirmish, then using movement trays for the larger battles. This allows me to start with a small amount of units for Sharps Practice, then build the army up to a division in General D’Armee
Actually a good idea. I have to admit that when I think of Sharps I think of 28 figures, but. in battles on smaller scales. 🤔 Your style is a good shortcut. Thanks for joining the discussion. 🫡
I really enjoy Black Powder. I have tried a lot of other sets, but if I am being honest, I find Black Powder to be the fast for large battles, which I enjoy, and gives very good results. Its just, well, fun. Valor and Fortitude look very good. For armies, the Perry army deals are such an amazing deal for a starter army. Its a lot of miniatures at once, but honestly, outside of skirmish games, Napoleonic's are sort of a hobby which is suited towards massive battles, in my opinion.
Yes, one thinks more of the big battles, of which there were quite a few. You can also stick with a system of rules if you like it. 😉 The more experienced you become at it. The nice thing is that we have the choice and can do what we enjoy. ☺️
I think a good introduction to historical or simple games is "Sharp Practice" by TooFatLardies. You only need between 40 and 50 miniatures per side (or less) and not as many as with Black Powder. So one or two unit boxes, for comparison, the starter armies from Black Powder have around 100-120 miniatures. Which I personally find to be too much to "quickly" put together and maybe just paint to try something new. ((and another point for ME, if I want to try out a new game or setting, I stay at around €100-max €150 for two players)) What I like about the game, apart from the size, is that it's basically a game about the leaders of armies or units. You don't activate a unit of line infantry, but its sergeant and he gives the unit an order. Higher ranks outrank lower NCOs or officers, so for example my lieutenant can command two sergeants and order him to move his unit or open fire. The rulebook is available free online, and you can buy a hardback book directly from TooFatLardies, whose website also has extended army lists. The rulebook contains all the "important" armies and wars from the French-Indian War in 1754 to the Indian Mutiny in 1857.
@@totalburnout5424 yes, depending on the setting, you can call it skirmish :) Personally, I would call games like "Shakos & Bayonets" skirmish, and I see Sharps Practice as something in between, especially if you increase the number of units For large, massive battles, definitely Black Powder or "Kugelhagel" by Martin Fellar (although I only really like it because of the hidden deployment and "fake units") Sharps Practice is more fun if you adapt it to the units, so more Chasseur and Fusiliers, a few line infantry. So "bigger" Skirmish Battle, vanguard or rearguard battle before the large armies meet, or to cover the retreat (so yes call it Skirmish Game :) ) or one small Side of an Battlefield I mostly play French and Indian War or American War of Independence, where the division into the three game styles fits better than in the Napoleon era. Attacks on small settlements, Indian raids, etc. But I would definitely advise against Black Powder as an introduction, unless you field 5 miniatures and then say that's a regiment with 24+ miniatures or use some markers. I know a few people who were keen on the game, bought a starter army and then simply failed because of the sheer number of models that were in the box and thought that it wasn't actually enough. The costs and material expenditure are so much higher, and in 28mm I find a 6x4 table almost too small. I associate the Napoleon era with cavalry, large flank movements and there's hardly enough space for that. especially when you consider that Waterloo is considered a relatively small front with "only" just under 4km I currently have Black Powder Epic on my wish list, I think the game will be different in ~15mm... maybe at some point... when the Pile of Shame has been dealt with... or Russia comes as a nation :D
@@lordtiali8572 Yes, I see the problems too. I played BP in 28mm myself, but never built an army. So why my recommendation? For the first time TFL games are not for beginners. Those who come from GW have difficulty with some mechanisms. I really like their systems. BP has structural similarities to GW games, a lower hurdle. There are starter armies and I know of more BP players than players of other Napoleonic games. Active players. Often they then switch from there - because of the problems - to other systems. That's why you'll find teammates with it more quickly, I think. Currently Sharps is the only 28mm game I'm actively planning on playing. Maybe Rebels & Patriots. So if you have some experience, go for Sharps. 👌
@@totalburnout5424 I watched other videos on your channel after I wrote the comments and didn't know that the video was part of a series. And there you talk about exactly these topics, starting slowly, using cardboard markers rather than buying 100 miniatures. So sorry if it sounded too much like criticism. Black Powder is without question a good game. But I've had exactly the oposide experience and it's extremely difficult to motivate new people to play the game, even if I could provide all the figures for 2-4 players. And larger skirmishers are easier at the beginning because everything is more manageable and you can then expand from there.

Aloha he aus der Ecke Solingen ins Ruhrgebiet. Ein kleiner, aber GANZ wichtiger Tipp für deine zukünftigen VIdeos: Stell deine Kamera bitte in das Format mit dem "P" am Ende (also 1080p, 720p, 1440p, etc). Du scheinst im "i" Modus zu filmen (Interlaced - es wird ständig abwechselnd nur jeweils jede zweite Zeile gefilmt). Deswegen hast du bei Bewegungen, Seitenblättern, etc, immer diese Streifen drin. 🙂 Great video, although I would have also looked from 28mm to 15mm - Epic Battles: Waterloo is a great system and allows for truly "epicaly large" battles. 😀With the average Napoleonic "starter army" being a large Warhammer army, I consider 15mm way easier, cheaper - and faster to paint! - than 28mm.
Muss ich mal prüfen. Danke. Es gelang mir zwischendurch mal die Kamera völlig zu verstellen, was Bildaufnahmen wirklich schlecht machte. Laien am Werk mit alter Technik.
I would also recommend Snappy Nappy. I played Austerlitz in 6mm and it went great and fast. I am now playing Ligny (also 6mm) with General d'Armee (zoomed out to army level) and this also plays great, though not as quickly as Snappy Nappy. More details, though.
That's right, especially when you're playing campaigns or the start of a battle - deployment - Snappy Nappy is in its element. But I think you should have some experience in other rules before trying it. Or am I wrong?
