I am still enamored with the simplicity and command structure of Black Powder rules and have been using it with 6mm ACW on a solo basis.<br /><br />I have become a fan of rulesets that incorporate a variability of command so that a level of risk / surprise is built into every action. I feel such variability is a must for solo play to keep one interested.<br /><br />My club uses a home grown set of rules for Napoleonics that feature a modified IGO / UGO movement sequence - a deck of cards. One side is red, the other black. If a number card is drawn that side can move one units, if a face card then two units. If the joker is pulled then all units on that side can move. Once one side has moved all it's units or declared the turn complete, the remaining side gets to move any unactivated units. While simple the mechanism adds a nice amount of variability, especially when one is amassing units for an assault.jmilesrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17961624317410579611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7293690195430705478.post-14710803975721139252010-06-19T06:31:38.881-04:002010-06-19T06:31:38.881-04:00Thank you both, I will register at the forum.

Chances are that I will also be playing solo when the time comes for a few games. Some of the mechanisms of the older rules that I have been considering are somewhat 'tired' now and things have moved on so I think its time I took the plunge.<br /><br />The pictures are great too.<br /><br />Looking forward to the battle report.<br /><br />Lee.Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13181989906410822069noreply@blogger.com
