Comparing Black Powder to Field of Battle

Image
A few months ago I bought a new set of rules that really intrigued me. It is called Piquet: Field of Battle, 3rd Edition . (Here on I'll use FOB) You can find the rules at this link here: https://www.piquetwargames.com/ If you want to see a play example here is a YouTube video from Sgt. Stiner's channel. This video really helped to sell me on buying the rules. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VamPhGFcn-4 Warlord Games' Black Powder, 2nd Edition  rules (Here on I'll use BP) are also excellent. You can find their materials at: https://store.warlordgames.com/ BP   is the more well known and popular of the two rules. I judge this by the number of people on forums and gaming videos made. I don't think it necessary to post a video of BP rules in play here. A simple search on YouTube leads to dozens of BP battle report videos on a bunch of different channels to watch examples of play. What I want to do in this post is compare the two systems and talk about what I, personall...

Black Powder Play Sheet Adjustments

 I'm a new player of Black Powder . The playsheet in the back of the rules manual didn't have all that I needed on it for me. I also wanted to incorporate those rules that would go with my War of Spanish Succession that use The Last Argument of Kings Supplement. So I went ahead and made my own. I It isn't a single page as the BP one is. In fact, mine is 8 pages but it goes in sequence and helps me avoid the missteps and things I forget when I play. Getting old I guess. Anyways, here it is. Again, it has been modified for use with the War of Spanish Succession and the rules that would go with it. Perhaps you'll make your own modifications from it to suit your campaign/era?  https://drive.google.com/file/d/1thnRf5sDxPrntmPwHrPbQvRjK4xlDgB7/view?usp=sharing

Comparing 3 Civil War Miniature Manufacturers

Hello, It's been a long time since I have made a post on Tin Soldier Guy. I guess it's been because I don't feel like many people read it. So, please subscribe so I know you're interested and that will encourage me to keep posting. I have jumped into 15mm American Civil War Minis this year. I found several companies that I have bought minis from and I'd like to share about them. 1. Stone Mountain Miniatures Stone Mountain is a company in Brighton, Colorado. I have made several orders with them and one I even had professionally painted. http://www.wargamingminiatures.com/     A. What I Like About Stone Mountain: Their figures have many variable poses and there is a wide variety of units, brigades and lots and lots of flags. They are always good at fixing any mistakes made in their orders which I appreciate.      B. What Needs Improvement: Customer service needs to be better. They hardly ever pick up the phone when called and they don't always reply to their email...
