NH:Black Powder 2nd Feb 2013

[Primarch]

My schedule is free on that day so I'm pretty sure I can make it. I'll say no more than that as I don't want to tempt fate/typhoons/baby stuff etc
Looking forward to it. Can I use an empire cannon for my Prusssians if it's manned by Prussians or will I be decuffed as they say. Historical accuracy interjection: "Wrong colour cuffs on the unit".

Is it Black Powder or will you be running Hail Caesar as well?

@Konrad. Anything Call of Cthulhu related I am interested in. I'm sure I can take it off your hands.

The Black Powder event is for Black Powder. No Hail Caesar this time.

If you want to use an Empire Cannon with Prussian crew, that should be ok. I have no idea what colour cuffs Prussian Artillerymen should wear so I think you are safe on that score.

I hope you can make it.

I'll be coming along to get my hands dirty

[Primarch]

If I have time I want to print out little notes for each unit as we will have a few newish players on the day and I want to keep things simple. For those of you bringing minis, it would be nice if you could let me know how many units you will bring along with the following info:

Unit name
E.g. 95th Rifles
Unit size
E.g. Standard (model count isn't an issue, use the rulebook as a guideline)
Unit type
E.g. Line Infantry (again, use the rulebook as a guideline)
Any special rules you think they should have (not every unit needs a special rule)
E.g. Skirmishers, Sharpshooters, Rifles

As this is a participation event, please bear in mind that you may be controlling some units from outside your collection depending on how brigades are divided. (Ie you may have some extra units to control).

2nd Feb is a Saturday so I'll be working, sadly. I need a job which has regular weekends off

I'm all clear for this one. With bells.
Usual army from me. 2 large units being 1 Landwehr East Prussian pikes and 1 line infantry Grubers guard.
2 standard landwehr Westphalia and Silesia.
One standard unit of skirmish Silesian Landwehr on trail.
1 cannon and crew. East Prussian.
2 commanders. Mad Von Laycock and Wolfgang Heinrich Gruber. Possibly one mounted one stumbling. Or both mounted depending on painting time.
All Landwehr have the unreliable rule and the line infantry can take first fire as an option if needed.
Some Prussian up daisies casualty markers to boot.
Need any scenery? I have buildings and rice fields

Can't wait to play. It's been too long for this awesome game.

Nah thanks, I'm good for terrain. Just bring your army and some dice to roll.

I will bring there following units.

Austrian line infantry 6 standard size unit.
I guess they do not have special rule.

There are no cavalry and artillery, unfortunately.

Also, I bring rule summary in English & Japanese.

[Primarch]

Welcome to the fight Komura san. 6 units of Austrians? Great. The Prussian/Austrian/Russian alliance is looking very scary now.

Thank you for making a Japanese rule summary. That will be very helpful. Could I ask you to bring some spare copies please?

It looks like this will be a very big, exciting game.

[komura]

Sure !
