Commands and Colors Napoleonics

 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.
