Print-n-Play Wargames and Miniatures Rules www.wargamedownloads.com

My first Blog post will be wargame boardgame played with miniatures.
The usual miniatures gaming group decided to play Commands & Colors: Napoleonics (CC:N ) with miniatures. One of the members (Ken) already had a bunch of 15mm Napoleonics figs ready to go. The host (Jaye) has a 6x8 foot gaming table with hexes already on the green table top. Ken choose scenario #3 from the CC:N scenarios booklet.
Here is a picture of the scenario right after setting it up. French on left.
We had 7 people, 6 players with Ken "running" the game. Each side had a commander, whom was in the center section. The commander holds the cards and chooses which one to play. The sub-commanders would then choose what to do if their section received any activations.
The French pressed on the right flank and then on left. The center turned out to be a shooting gallery for the British. The town of Ventosa (left section) fell to the French and eventually half of Vimiero (right section) was occupied by the French. The final blow came from a Bombardment (card) that blast some infantry. The game ended with a French 6 to 4 victory.

) about the hobby, anything that makes it easier to put on games, get them finished in the available time, and can help reduce issues over rules interpretations is top on my to-do list. Some minis gamers can't stand hexes on the tabletop (I used to be one of them), now I won't play a game unless it has hexes or zones of some sort to manage movement (and speed up play at the same time).
