'Valour & Fortitude' Scenario

12/19/2022

We've really enjoyed the free Napoleonic rules released by Perry Miniatures called "Valour & Fortitude." This free rule set allows you to play division (or small corps) sized actions with buckets of six-sided dice and a single page QRS. Today, we're offering up a historical scenario we created in the club for the Battle of Montebello in June 1800. The scenario includes a map, OOBs, special rules, and base labels. 

And, in addition to the scenario, we also present our revised Quick Reference Sheet for the rules. This is the QRS we use in the club...it's more comprehensive and user friendly (we think). Don't forget, "Valour & Fortitude" is available 100% free from the Perry website for you to play the full game!

As part of our 60,000 subscriber celebration (THANK YOU to everyone who subscribes to the channel!) we played a unique scenario, running the same engagement back-to-back with different rule sets. We revisited our E102 Foy episode from 2018 and zoomed out to battalion level to play Crossfire and Fireball Forward. In the video, you saw both rule sets in action! And now, we're offering up the details of the Crossfire scenario for you to try at home.

As part of our "On to Richmond" series we set up a tabletop wargame for a small but iconic action on the Virginia Peninsula called The Battle of Eltham's Landing. A confused meeting engagement, this battle saw Hood's Texans begin their meteoric rise as one of the crack units in the Confederate army. And now you can play our scenario for free! It's set up for Regimental Fire & Fury but easily converted to your rules of choice.

Age of Sail, Vikings & Sharp Practice

It's just days until Christmas, making this our fourth and final scenario giveaway! This week we have three fantastic new scenarios for you and your friends to try. Miles wrote an Age of Sail scenario for the only major French naval victory of the Napoleonic Wars, the Battle of Grand Port. This is a small frigate action presented in a way for you to tailor it to your ruleset of choice (ours, for the record, is Fire as She Bears).

Tom wrote a Sharp Practice AWI scenario focusing on the intense skirmishing in New Jersey during the winter forage wars. You can download his scenario below! And finally, Keith prepared a brand new Ravenfeast scenario for a Viking raid on a monastery. "Ring the Bells" can be found on the official Ravenfeast website right here!

Free AWI Scenario!

9/20/2021

Last week we aired our epic, 4-table Brandywine wargame with the American Battlefield Trust! We had a blast playing this game on the battlefield using a streamlined set of rules we developed called Live Free or Die. The game was originally based on Andy Callan's brilliant 1987 article, Loose Files & American Scramble. If you find the homebrew and rule writing process interesting, we think you'll love our current podcast series tracking the writing and playtesting in real time. 

You can learn more about Live Free or Die here, and we have a FREE Princeton scenario for you to check out!

The Princeton scenario appears in the main rule book and we also have a scenario booked called Victory or Death with 10 more famous battles of the war. We hope you guys enjoy the sneak peek at Princeton, which is a small game playable with very few figures. 

We'll have rule tutorials and more coverage of Live Free or Die coming soon. We're splitting the proceeds with our friends at the non-profit American Battlefield Trust, so you'll be directly helping their mission if you check out the rules or scenarios.

If you saw our "choose your own ending" Austerlitz wargame on YouTube, then you know we played this epic battle on a 12' long custom table, divided into three sections. And to resolve the battle, we used Dave Brown's General d'Armee rules, modified for brigade-sized formations instead of battalions. Our map, orders of battle, scenario notes, and General d'Armee rosters are available for free right here! Just grab yourself the free PDF below and check it out! Thanks for joining us on the "Free Stuff" page, where we do our best to share every single scenario we play on the channel!
