to coincide with a Halloween release.

I welcome it...I have the Anglo Allied German minor counters in grey.Thought about putting the Prussians in black.....will experiment each time I make a printing....I chose green for the Prussians only because the Avalon Hill Waterloo game has them in green...I may end up doing like I did the Dutch Belgians....only have the counters in black with green symbol boxes in the center.

Status: offline 		Just read this thread for the first time. Nice going. My first look at the map and then seeing u making a btn lvl game i thot thats gona be alot of counters on that map, but i see to upped it. Have u considered making the cav regiments into bde too?
Still seems alot of counters on that map once the prussians gets there too.


Aurelian, some prussians wore green.... ok, ok it was only the Jăgers and Freiwillinge Jăgers any how i would make a deep blue for their counters. Uniforms being a darker blue than the french.

Kind regards,

Rasmus

Of course, but that is not much fun on a board game surely. That being the case, grey seems a sensible (if a little ahistorical) compromise to ensure the counters are easily identifiable.

I accept I am probably in a minority, but for me aesthetics plays a big role in whether or not to invest in a game. Bright, colourful and interesting counters are a big part of that consideration.

Edit: can't spell

Some British Army units wore green too - the 95th Riflemen for one - but having the British Army in anything but red? Nooooo!!! Oh the humanity

Status: offline 		Here are the two charts for combat after another round of revision.Also a cell phone shots of the game as it currently looks on the table....wish I had a better camera.For myself the game is finished enough to suit me...Getting the second copy to send out for play testing will take some more work.Mainly I have just quick reference charts for the rules to put together....One problem I have is I do not have a local source for the proper backing material for the counters,hence the thicker foam board counters.

Status: offline 		It is great to find someone interested in the game.....I am figuring I should have a copy to you right around the first of the year...Basically what I have right now is what I will be sending you.Rules for the game are just on quick reference charts and tables...Besides a bit of work on the charts all I need is the right cardboard backing for the counters...The thick foam board counters are a little too clumsy to manipulate and they do not stack very good.
