Do you play "the only officially sanctioned Napoleonic variant of Rich Hasenauer's Fire & Fury ACW rules"?

JMcCarroll17 Apr 2024 2:44 p.m. PST

No.

Personal logo 20thmaine Supporting Member of TMP17 Apr 2024 2:49 p.m. PST

Nope, never.

Personal logo Mister Tibbles Supporting Member of TMP17 Apr 2024 2:55 p.m. PST

No, and I've never seen it played at the local cons I've been attending.

If you have a "don't play Napoleonics" I would guess that would be the dominant answer. Perhaps limit it to people who play or have played Napoleonics?

myxemail17 Apr 2024 3:26 p.m. PST

Yes. I have not been able to play Napoleonics very often, but the last few times has been with Age of Eagles

Cardinal Ximenez17 Apr 2024 3:49 p.m. PST

Nope … and never will.

KevinV17 Apr 2024 4:27 p.m. PST

Play all the time.

Personal logo aegiscg47 Supporting Member of TMP17 Apr 2024 5:27 p.m. PST

Yes. I would like to try the Age of Tigers variant on his web site for the Sikh Wars, but that looks like a ton of painting!

YogiBearMinis Supporting Member of TMP17 Apr 2024 6:04 p.m. PST

I have played several games of it at conventions and always enjoyed it, both Napoleonic as well as 18th and 19th century versions. Gave a good and fun game.

Rakkasan17 Apr 2024 6:37 p.m. PST

Yes

Personal logo Old Contemptible Supporting Member of TMP17 Apr 2024 8:24 p.m. PST

Yes, but only because everyone else plays it here.

Personal logo Wolfshanza Supporting Member of TMP17 Apr 2024 10:28 p.m. PST

Have played a few times. Not bad. Then, again, ah like F&F :)

advocate17 Apr 2024 11:49 p.m. PST

No

Personal logo Saber6 Supporting Member of TMP Fezian18 Apr 2024 4:16 a.m. PST

Yes, prefferred set

Joes Shop Supporting Member of TMP18 Apr 2024 5:50 a.m. PST

No

bobspruster18 Apr 2024 8:05 a.m. PST

Yes, always a good game to be had.

Frederick Supporting Member of TMP18 Apr 2024 8:37 a.m. PST

Yes – alternate with Black Powder depending on the whim of my fellow gamers

Micman Supporting Member of TMP18 Apr 2024 9:47 a.m. PST

No

I have played it a few years ago and liked it, but current group use Napoleon's Battles for this level of game, so unlikely to play again, except as a solo game. . We do sometimes adopt AoE scenarios for NB games.
Rules are well supported.

dantheman18 Apr 2024 10:33 a.m. PST

Yes, but not often. Requires lots of figures, labels, and time to set up and play. Therefore, only good for a weekend get together with several friends.

I just don't have the time, figures, or friends willing to do this these days. Otherwise I would play more often.

Same with Napoleon's Battles which is a similar scale.

ZULUPAUL Supporting Member of TMP18 Apr 2024 11:08 a.m. PST

No

robert piepenbrink Supporting Member of TMP18 Apr 2024 11:58 a.m. PST

No. Either 30mm CLS, any of several individual-figure based games of the Charge! variety in 28mm or a modified Wessencraft in 6mm. As dantheman points out, quite a bit of prep required for F&F and any of the clones, and printing out labels (which will be different for the next game) is not my idea of entertainment. Quite a bit of table clutter required, too. Not wrong, any of it--just not my idea of fun game prep or a good-looking table.

Personal logo Sgt Slag Supporting Member of TMP18 Apr 2024 12:19 p.m. PST

No. Haven't played Napoleonics since the mid-90's. Cheers!

Personal logo Parzival Supporting Member of TMP18 Apr 2024 12:21 p.m. PST

No. Never heard of it, don't play Napoleonics even if I had.

3rd5ODeuce Supporting Member of TMP18 Apr 2024 2:16 p.m. PST

Yes. Playing Sunday the 21st.

michaelw989 Supporting Member of TMP18 Apr 2024 6:04 p.m. PST

Yes, often…

Scott MacPhee18 Apr 2024 9:53 p.m. PST

Yes, many times. It's a great way to play the bigger battles.

rmcaras Supporting Member of TMP18 Apr 2024 10:39 p.m. PST

Just got done playing the Berezina scenario with AoE.

Next up is la Souffel 28 June 1815, which is a very small scenario [12-13 brigades per side]. Might make a good convention scenario.

Allan F Mountford20 Apr 2024 4:15 p.m. PST

Yes. Regularly since 2008.

The Tyn Man23 Apr 2024 12:38 p.m. PST

I have the rules and base all my figs for their system but have yet to try them out.

Last Hussar23 Apr 2024 4:08 p.m. PST

I'd like to give it a couple of games, but never actually had a chance.
