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

On Being a Christian and a Historical Wargamer

Image
Many years ago as a preteen I had a wargame set up on a table when my older brother, Chris, and his friend, Tim, came by. Tim looked at my game and was interested. He said to Chris "Hey, this looks cool. Lets play!" I was quite happy to hear him say this and was hoping I could get a game going. However, Chris just said to him. "No, I don't take pleasure in human suffering." I had a lot of guilt feelings over this comment. I don't take pleasure in human suffering either. That's not why I play. Furthermore, I'm a Christian. I'm not what you call a "cultural Christian" who is a person that follows certain Christian customs out of tradition. No, I believe in Jesus Christ as the son of God who came to earth to sacrifice His life to pay for my sins as many others do, too. I also believe that He is going to return someday (likely very soon by the looks of the world).  So, why the interest in wargaming? Why does it appeal so much to me? How can...
