Five kilometres from Leipzig

I picked up this solo rules system for black powder skirmish actions the other day. For a beta version it’s quite good. I’ve played several games with it using 15mm figures because I don’t own anything bigger.

There is an AAR on my blog that covers 2 games  – Napoleonic and French & Indian Wars

I am glad you liked it.
This was basically to test the waters and see if there was interest, so I was trying to make it a “real game” without putting a whole 150 page monster out there.

And how do the waters feel Ivan?  The 5 {insert unit of measurement here} family seems very popular, and the rules seem quite solid, although every new iteration seems a bit cleaner and better.

The games looked really good Alan.  We’ve used 15mm WRG stands for Saga, where each element represented what is usually a single 28mm figure.  We all thought it looked quite striking, much less toy soldier-ish looking than when we used 28mm figures.

I think they feel quite positive. Not a huge splash but definitely caught some attention.

It’s very likely it’ll get an expansion into a full set down the road.
