After Napoleonic and Renaissance rules come out then what?

[CharlesRobinson]

British In Africa & ACW

[Pitt]

Franco-Prussian War !

I'd suggest Colonial and ACW. They can actually both be done with the same core rules set.

The wargames world is in desperate need of a decent set of rules for Italian Unification 1849-66

Bruce Weigle's 1859 and 1866 at http://www.mediaevalmisc.com/gtr/1859.htm and http://www.mediaevalmisc.com/gtr/1866.htm are worth a look

I've had a decent 1859 game using Future War Commander http://www.flickr.com/photos/alanmillic ... 950074405/

There are some rules ("Savoia" is one) but all af them not properly supported by producers. I'd like FOG Risorgimento in order to play Italian and Prussian war for this period.

..and why stop with the British in Africa? All other colonial wars can be included! That would get my vote!

ACW and War of Spanish Succession if not in FoGR

I've always had a soft spot for the wars of Marlborough.

Possibly that could be just a tweek from the Napoleonic rules though.

Imho, there will be still a gap between Rennaisance and Napoleonic which would be nice to be closed. I think that nap. rules with some more armylists would do it. just to represent for example prussian superiority in reloding the musket.


The Wars of ninteenth century, especialy the later, differ a lot. needle gun and of course rapid fire guns like gatling and agar changed warfare in many ways. thats what make me think about another rules for this period til WW I...

my 2 cents

My quick reaction (please trust, it's a quick reaction without much knowledge - especially to the post Napoleonic Period) to this would be: wouldn't it be able to be dealt with in army lists - not an entire set of rules? I mean, for example, a Prussian being 'superior' and everyone else being 'average' pretty much accounts for their 'superiority in reloading muskets' wouldn't it? Things like the Gatling gun et al (I honestly don't know the era very well) wouldn't that be effectively the same as a stand of musket rifles?

At least the post Rennaissance-Pre Napoleonic period isn't really hugely different. I think it could be done with 'tweeks' within lists.

I guess that riding against a Gatling gun with 400 rounds a minute makes a little difference whan you are armed with a percussion musket...

Or like in 1866 firing with your muzzleloader (4 rounds a minute, if you are fast) against Breech loading needle guns with 7 rounds a min.

And before Nap.: Making the Pussians superior could not be the way. you cant change the Morale modifier to show that no one in Europe had such a fast loading and fireing army...



P.S.: Like yours, this is a quik reaction and a just got up.., its 6:30 here in germany... i hope in my still sleepy english are no bad mistakes...
