It's Adjutant Introvable, adapted to V&F, if you search across my videos there is one dedicatet to it and how to use it in the game.

@@TabletopHistory-ex7qn I'll search, thank you for the reply!

Thank you!!

Sorry, not seen the comment before... It's an interesting idea!

They are the casualty marker present in an old Black powder box. I made more colored copy, gluen on a thin foam sheet and that's it!

Thank you very much for the appreciations

OMG cannot remember it... It's a spanish firm, looks for the name on the bag, I'm not at home for few days at the moment

In peninsular war, dragoon operate as heavy cavalry. I added to my light brigade only because I have not enough heavy cavalry to operate as a single brigade, usually they work as Medium Heavy cavalry, even when more hevier cavalry (such as Courassiers and Carabiniers were present. Maybe later on I will add a second unit of dragoon, not sure at the moment... to many stuff to paint before

@@TabletopHistory-ex7qn Yes sir...lots of lead and plastic for sure. I have a ton of 15mm Naps from back in the day when we played other rule systems. I was able to break them out for V&F, which worked well as mentioned before. Now I have a nice collection of 28mm Naps for "Sharp's Practice" gaming. My units are for the Peninsular area and have a nice collection of French Dragoons with dismounted options. I have British to include the fictitious "South Essex" regiment along with 95th rifles and of course Spanish Guerillas. I have a couple of boxes of Portuguese along with some Perry Cazadores to match. I need to break them out on the table and see if I can field enough for a good game of V&F. Have you worked anything out "special" for the Peninsular campaign?

Yes it should work. Whit the new Character PDF you will be able to get a proper officer for a brigade made all of artilley battery and recreate at need La Grand Batteire: which is essentialy what I really want on the field...

I try to be clear and if I wrote something evident to you, sorry about that. First of all the rules you need for battery and artillery are on the data sheets of your army. Second: when we deploy a single gun, it will represents about 6 guns in real life, for this reason we spoke about artillery battery. Than French and Russian (and also Austrian in my hopinion shoud) have the rule "Battery". This rule was made to emulate a large concentration of guns such as the Grand Batterie. The rule allow to add more fire support at long range (usually you may add only one gun becuase each gun count two units and the max for fire support are three units). Finally for the melee, the rule that you have tu master is Canister: this add two dice to the unit melee value. So you have 2 basic attacks, plus two more attacks for canister (this will emulates the rounds of shrapnel shoot at close range against the attackers) for a total of 4 attack for a single gun and 6 from two guns (4 + 2 for the melee support)and so on. For this reason I said that is not sure that a charge against an artillery battery will end in a succes. I hope that now these rules are more clear, feel free to ask anything else. PS: have a look at the new rules for the commander traits. Have a brigade made only of guns with a Commander with the artillerist trait allow us to truly recreate the Grand Batterie. If you have not seen the PDF yet, s a 3 page rules made by JJ to create your army and brigade commander giveing them traits and "Artillerist" allow your artillery to shoot to whatever you whant and not the closest one. Cheers

@@TabletopHistory-ex7qn Wow...what a great response back...Much appreciated! I now understand the term battery for a single gun...makes sense for this level of gaming. I'm still a bit confused on how to calculate up the artillery "Fire" number if I have two cannons. I guess one would be the primary shooter, while the second would be support, thus giving a "1" extra for fire? I've played both Napoleonic's (French vs Prussians) and this past weekend, American Civil War. The organization is a bit different, with more infantry and artillery, versus cavalry like the NAP period. Still working on sample Brigade rosters for that. I did downloaded the latest version of the rules, and you're correct, I have to look at the Army rosters for more rules for that army. As you mentioned, if Napoleon is commanding...whew, Artillery can be really powerful. Again, thank you for the fast response back. Take care.

@@redmist1122 If you have two cannon (for example) that want to shoot to a cavalry unit, one will be the Main Attacker and will shoot one shot over 12" ar two if in canister range. The other gun will lend support with one dice, no matter the distance. You may add a max off 3 support fire dice, but because artillery count two units when do this, you may, at best have one die of support although you are a French or a Russina with the rule BATTERY, which allow you to have up to 5 support fire dice from the other guns in the BATTERY (deployed no more than 6" apart and never moved since deployment)

@@TabletopHistory-ex7qn Aaaaah...okay, makes sense now. I really appreciate your response and helping me understand the rules for artillery. Shooting canister is definitely devastating. Thank you again!

Indeed yes

Thank you

They looks cool on the field, but I need to learn how make them works...

Indeed yes

I bought them from a spanish firm MKZ bases

Sorry, what do you mean?

It is my home rule for lancers :).when lancers charge,they reduce enemy back attacks on one.so cost lancers may be increased on couple points :)

@@ТарасПуценко Now I've understand. Jervis Johnson said during playtest that extra ability cost 1 more point. I did the same for the French Dragoon paying Carbine for them

O.k.I will proceed like this!

One more question! What you think about charge?To make more dramma on battlefield ,l do not use fix distance (12 and 18 inches). instead for infantry 2d6,for cavalry 3d6

I'm working on new tutorials, be more specific, what is your interest?

Well, I try to play historical as much as I can with my models (I haven't enough of them to field two division in 28mm. Detachments in my view of the game are small units made from the voltigers and deployed in front of the brigade, or Riflemen units similarly deployed by the Brtish, so I don't see them ass unhistorical. I tested both the options: Use light infantry from the same brigade in cooperation with their Line batalions or deployed in a large Brigade made all of light infantry. Playing a lot both the options and I felt that the first solution works better for the French wile the second suits better the British... Still testing, every game is a "per se" game...

@@TabletopHistory-ex7qn That's true. I also see detachments on the French side as historically appropriate. Especially at Austria you are strongly tied to historical lineups. Like their commanders at the time. 😉

Thank you very much, sorry for the delay, I've missed the message.

Thank you

Thank you very much, sorry for the delay, I've missed the message.

In the end, if you have seen I changed their heands and transformend in regular heavy dragoon... Thank you.

@@TabletopHistory-ex7qn It's a shame, I think it's better to paint something new and maybe you'll get to 1815 soon. Thanks for the answer.

@@totalburnout5424 Well, I started with the 100 days, mostly because the first part of my collection was inherited from a fried who had already assembled them in such way. But I decided to move to the Peninsula due to the possibility to have more variation in the casual games. At that time (and still at the moment) my pile of shame was so huge that the idea of new models and more painting job scared me 😀😀😀

@@TabletopHistory-ex7qn I understand. 😀 The 100 days are iconic, but really don't offer enough options. Also started with the French for Quatre Bras. Then my teammate jumped off. Later built Austria as a second army.

Thank you. If you need the cards file feel free to contact me on FB. You will find my contact on Valor & Fortitude page. Scroll for may post and will see the contact.

@@TabletopHistory-ex7qn I'm not a FB member, but thx for the offer.

But my son is on FB... 🤔

@@totalburnout5424 than tell him to look for me on V&F page or Napoleonic miniatures wargaming or The napoleonic wargamer...

Thank you

Yes sure that it has, and not only for napoleonic, chet them out on the Perry Miniatures website. look for V&F rules and armysheet. They are all free to download.

I'm sorry my friend, the God of dice are clearly aginst you, despite your effort. you play well. Mancò la fortuna, non l'ardore!

Back and forth, not the bestiality that I've muttered, but I miss the words at the right moment... 🤣🤣. But yes the battle for the small hill was a real slaughter. My friend's dice were pitiful, but in the end it was a very great game. I cannot say fun, because I think that with a so bad rolls, in the end he didn't have so much fun and even I would have preferred a more balanced game. It was what it was, in the end a quite good reenactment of Salamanca...

Try it, it's a great game, simple and fast, simple, but not simplicistic.

If you need the files try to contact me on Facebook V&F page, I'll glad to share them with you.

Thank you

@@TabletopHistory-ex7qn ❤️❤️❤️

Thank you for your words

Yes the pain is overwhelming indeed. He's a wonderful friend, now is an angel...

Thanks

I'm sure of this, but I hope that the pain will leave, because at the moment is so overwhelming that I can barely breath

@@TabletopHistory-ex7qn Fully understand that feeling, roughly 3 years ago i also had to say goodbye to my buddy that was with me for almost 21 years, what helped me a bit is going to a shelter(after some time had passed) and give 2 sad fluffers a wonderful life. Even though i still, horribly miss him and he obviously has a special place in my heart, this massively helped me to get over it.

Surely I will do, need time to recover, especially my wife.

Thanks

Indeed no, it's too hard

Thanks, it's a huge loss.

Thanks

Thank you, it was a great game indeed...

It's the "N" of Napoleon and a stylized Union Jack. both found on internet. The french set of dice was made by a Spanish firm "Mokko" which made customized dice, you have to upload your image and they will carved it into the dice set, the second set were made in the past in a British firm which a forgot the name, I made them for Flames of War more than 10 years ago...

Thanks

It's adjutant introvable. But I had to work out some adaptation to use it with V&F. I may send you the home rules and the PDF of the "defense card" but you need to contact me on Facebook in order to get the files. Adjutant introvable is findable on line for few euros... about 5...
