The rules in this post are our original Napoleonic wargaming rules. Gradually we phased most of these out but they remained the basis for our current rules. Here they are, they make for very fast play:
MOVEMENT:
Infantry - 15cm
Cavalry (all types) - 25cm
Artillery - 10cm
FIRING RANGES:
Muskets - 15cm
Cavalry - 10cm
Artillery - 30cm
When a unit is attacking an enemy unit five rolls of two dice are used to inflict casualties, the system is exactly the same as the one in the previous post Infantry units and their rules. The main difference however is the five volleys. Artillery uses the same system but has a longer range. If infantry or cavalry are positioned on ridges/hills their firing range goes up by 10cm. If artillery is positioned the same way an extra 25cm is added to it's firing range.
BATTLES FOUGHT WITH THESE RULES:
Our most famous battles fought by these rules were Austerlitz, Waterloo (Last year we had a tiny Waterloo with these rules), a tiny battle, The recapture of Field Marshall Jakob von Morris, and countless unnamed others.
