Mr. D. Brown has produced two OUTSTANDING rules sets, General d' Armee and Pickets Charge. Both sets of rules bring out the flavour of the periods. It can be seen that a great deal of thought has gone into developing these rules. Here's wishful thinking. I hope he brings out two sets of rules covering the Mexican American war and the Franco Prussian war.
Just watched this and I am in agreement with Pedro. This brief go though of the rules is great! I am not currently a Napoleonics gamer but I am hooked now...GOD help me!! 😎
I'm really impressed with Dave's rules. I bought the General d' Armee rules a few weeks ago. I'm building up a Waterloo British and French armies. There's much to take in with the rules, but I'll study your battle numerous times. Dave Oman
The more you play and explore GdA, the more you realize that's it a deep rule set that requires experience and understanding to better exploit its potential. It's not a "pick up and play game" and Dave's excellent video - and the future one he is already planning - is a great aid as you learn your way around. Well done!
Hi Dave 👋 I noticed that you stated here that in a cavalry v cavalry melee if cavalry is routed and have no supports (close order friends) to their rear they ‘disperse’ . Does a garrison count as a close order friend? In other words can routed units rally behind a garrisoned BUA? Asking for a friend?
Only use of rockets was Waterloo and they were worthless as I recall. Howitzers (and liciornes) are part of the existing batteries - for example a 6 gun battery was 5 long guns and one howitzer.

I love the music of the intro, anybody know what it is?
I’m sold on this rule set. Historically accurate without bogging the game down with technicalities, it’s all very simple and intuitive. 10/10
How do you like it so far? I've just ordered the rule set with the markers. Can't wait for them to get over here.
This is a great video. Thanks for taking the time to produce and post this.
When attacking troops who are stationed on a hill. Would they receive a bonus for fighting uphill. Dave Oman.
Great video & and rule set. When are you going to put out an AWI version?
Excellent. Thank you for the video.

First class video , very helpful , could we see a mass infantry column assault please
mark
very good .hope there's more in the future.
Already in the planning stage James. Dave and I plan to get together to record a whole game.
Great video. Look forward to the full playthrough
Am I right in where in the charge phase you can only move and attach a general only to lead a charge and not to receive a charge?

A garrison is technically a close order unit, so yes, a routed unit can rally behind.
Very interesting vid ☺
As a staring player, I am wondering why there are no howitzers and rocket launchers in the rules? Btw a very nice video.
