Originally conceived from the mechanisms of the 'Rampant Series' of wargame rules, we wanted to push around our growing collections of Napoleonic cavalry units without all the "baggage" of also using infantry, command control, morale and other annoying stuff. Just straight cavalry charges in sexy 28mm scale.
We offer this game at the 2022 Enfilade Convention to all, especially those who bring their own units. For example, Bob had just picked up a painted hussar unit of 12 at the bring-and-buy so wanted to play with his new purchase. We added this with Ron's and Seth's Brunswicker combined unit together with my units of French, British and converted Dutch-Belgians and Seth's nicely done units, to have some 15 units on the table.
To add some "terrain" to the field of battle (let's call it on the ridge at Waterloo), I placed my large square of Highlanders in the middle for something for the horses to dance around, and placed 'the dead infantry' to be speed bumps (reducing the unit's speed by 3 inches)
A simple 6+ on 2d6 was required for ALL rolls (simple to remember, what!) and random initiative made for chaotic action. For the record the Allies won the action with more surviving units despite the French having more of my cuirassiers in the action....
