I believe I have that somewhere, like yours, a print of the digital version. It was a set I considered a few years back when I started painting 10mm for 7YW. Another abandoned project. I seem to recall that Sam Mustapha had written and researched extensively about Westphalia, as it existed during the Napoleonic period.
It’s awesome to see this ruleset pop up again! More publishers and rules writers should make campaign systems as a standard feature for their rules and not a supplement or an afterthought.
I have both Maurice and M&R on my shelf, of the two Maurice is the one that has hit the table more often. M&R has a supplement for early 18th century conflicts which are more my cup of tea than the WAS/SYW period, but the scale being so high makes it not that great for the Great Northern war. Maurice also requires less table space, being written for units of four bases of 40mm width on a 6'x4' table. M&R is written with an 8'x4' table in mind for the "standard" point armies with 2x50mm BW, and as all of my 18th century stuff is on 60mm bases that makes tables even more cramped. The lack of cards in M&R is nice, and the system is relatively easy to get into for new people. But at the scale it represents I find the Twilight rulesets even simpler. Maurice fills that slightly lower level itch as the heavy abstraction allows it to go down to a lower unit scale. Hope you get to play M&R soon, it's still a good game system!
@@Caladine That’s good to know about the space. I was thinking maybe the required table space for M&R could go down if you used smaller base widths, since it is variable
@@Corvinuswargaming1444 Definitely. I'm just not going to be rebasing all of my models to accomodate this particular ruleset. There're also varied sizes in which you can build your armies of small-regular-large, and playing with the smaller ones you can definitely use a smaller table as well.

@@mitchsminis yeah I think its a nice solid set of rules, hoping to run it eventually for some Russo-Turkish wars of the eighteenth century
@@Corvinuswargaming1444 looking forward to those videos!
@@mitchsminis Thanks, probably not for a while but we will see
Good Thursday morning 🌄
Interesting walkthrough. I also do not like having decks of cards. Still it might be worth checking some of the other sets out.
@@thomaswilliams5005 Hopefully I can get it onto the table here soon and play through a bit of it

Down with cards! Three cheers for cards! :) Relative I guess.
@@tolemykus4805 hah! Its just a personal preference of course
