I had to chuckle at your explanation of "Obscured" units at 8:55 or so. I kept hearing the classic Monty Python skit, "How NOT to Be Seen" in my head as you outlined that special rule... 😆
8:42 this is more a question for the next video, but for the units in the first brigade that are set up across the river, aren’t they out of Steinmetz’s command span? Is Ziethen able to active them?
@@EricsTableNapoleonicBattles I am not a Napoleonic gamer, but there is always a chance for conversion. Have one. AH small box game Battle for Italy. I know it's not a good representation of quality Napoleonic game.
@@EricsTableNapoleonicBattles @ Well what you have done is of high quality and appreciated. About to take my first leap into Napoleonics with La Bataille Quatre Bras.
Hi Woody, not sure what happened. You need to contact Clash of Arms directly. Last year I ordered two BAR games from them. They came in ziplock, but I wasn’t surprised since it said they would on their website. Apparently, they had used up their supply of printed boxes. All the components were perfect otherwise. I was glad to get the games and they were $10 cheaper. @@@. I just checked their website, it states that “only box less copies remain”
@@EricsTableNapoleonicBattles I think that one is paying for the art work that would come with a game. I knew a couple of the fellows up there years ago. Regulations were always first class. I wish had not of bought IT and got Winter's Victory from NES.
I have a question about the 100 days collection of games, I observe there is a Mont St Jean luxury edition. How does this differ from the Standard edition, which is one third the price ?. I am trying to work out what I need to complete the set for the 3 main battles (not sure if Wavre is in the mix at the moment).
With the first edition of the battles, there was Quatre Bras, Ligny, Mont St Jean and Wavre. MSJ standard edition and Wavre only contained the scenario booklet and maps. You needed to own QB and Ligny in order to have the counters to play all four games. The deluxe edition of Mont St Jean was meant to be a stand alone version; scenario booklet, rules, maps AND counters. I believe with the second edition printing of MSJ it will be similar, a standard set for players who already own QB & Ligny and a deluxe set for those who don’t own the other titles and only wish to play MSJ. You can check with Clash of Arms regarding their upcoming sale of MSJ-2 to see what your options are.

I think I remember that one. Didn’t they blow up bushes until they “found” the person?

Love that map!
Yes, the Clash of Arms maps and counters are stunning! I think it enhances the play experience.

Great video - thanks!
Thank you. Sorry I haven't created much recently. I am looking to start a new series soon.

thank you so much for your show.
It's my pleasure. Please feel free to share links to videos on social media with folks who might enjoy these!
I ordered Ligny, got a ziplock copy and a copier version of the standard rules, has COA gone down hill or just greedy?

I have almost everyone in the series including the BAR series.

@@EricsTableNapoleonicBattles Ah ok thanks, I have actually ordered the separate editions, just to be sure of what I am getting
