Au fil de l'épée is a game series, at a tactical level, dedicated to Middle-Ages created by Frederic Bey.
It already exists 27 battles, published in four different Vae Victis issues and in four Canons en Carton DTP games. Others will follow, as well in DTP (Canons en Cartons), as in Vae Victis using the same series rules (current version is #7.1).

I'm interested in this series. Could you offer some insight as to which ones you like or dislike and for what reason?

Thanks,

As designer, I will give you my insight

In my series, you could find some straight going and "classical" modules, with limited sieze battles. That mainly the one related to Hundred Years War : Vae Victis n°26, Epées de France (Swords of France) and Epées et Couronne (Swords and Crown).
Swiss battles (Sword and Helberds) of VV 81 are of this side but a little bit more complex due to Swiss special rules

You can also find big or very big battles, bigger maps and lot of counters. That's the case of Las Navas de Tolosa (VV), of Bouvines battles of VV 46, of two battles from Epées Royales (Mons en Pévèle et Cassel) and of our last modules Swords and Crusades (Dorylaeum and Ascalon)

At the end there also small battles : Lake Peïpus and Muret from VV 46, two battles of Epées Royales (Brémule and Taillebourg) and the xetra battles of VV Hors série (Anthon and Otterburn).

You can find some replay on this Consiworld folder either: http://talk.consimworld.com/WebX?13@757.RDKsenlds3E.47677110...

I own and love all the Markham quads aka Crossbow and Cannon series and the 100 yrs war series I think that this system is superior in many ways Smaller battles make it accessable to start small and learn...and the number of battles done make it a great system that will just grow and grow....Its well worth getting into
