I took my original Kingdom of Katzenstein 15mm imagi-nations figures out for a game for the first time since December, 2011.
I have been wanting to try the Commands and Colors Napoleonics rules, so when I got a chance to pick up a set cheaply, I jumped on it. I could use my 15mm figures and the Hexon II terrain for a nice game board. I even splurged on a set of custom cherry wood dice.
I sued the Quatre Bras scenario with a few minor tweaks...Katzenstein defending in the British role.
A fun game...the attacking Imperial forces won the day in a back and forth game by launching a powerful series of cavalry charges after their initial infantry assault was defeated.
A fun game...but just not the same feeling as I have gotten with other rules sets.
I still think Field of Battle is my game (with honorable mentions to: Soldiers of Napoleon, Die Fighting, and Carnage and Glory).
What now? I think I will sell off the games and reinvest in something else.
I use CC:N with minis as well. I've found that the base game isn't as fun as the Epic sized (basically a double map) using the extra cards - I forget what it's called, but each side gets two cards each turn, one from the player's hand, the other from a common deal of five that gets replenished. If you have the terrain, you might give that a go before selling it off.
ReplyDeleteI may give that a shot...the epic expansion was on my purchase list.
