Its nice to be appreciated! I am very laid back about my nomenclature and am happy to be referred to in blog land simply as Mr Trousers.<br /><br />I thought Grande Armee was one of the most intellectually rigorous sets of rules I had ever encountered. FPGA was for me a more exciting prospect simply because of its scale. A pity it wasn't developed further. Almost a DBA for Napoleonics!<br /><br />It is most unfortunate that you have stirred me up about Blucher. I have listened to the podcasts and taken another look at Scharnhorst the campaign system. I'm very taken by this especially the 8 by 6 format of the maps which, as you know, is one of my touchstones. <br /><br />I can't see myself buying anything other than the big book so I'll start saving now!<br /><br />All the best<br /><br />JayOld Trousershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16866101372406631079noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7111053985478999734.post-13933402104599742392015-01-23T19:34:44.632+00:002015-01-23T19:34:44.632+00:00Michael - not only do I read your blog regularly, ...Michael - not only do I read your blog regularly, but I would gladly follow it officially if I did not have to convert to the Church of Google+ to do so.MSFoyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14470241067504971068noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7111053985478999734.post-36055709798982790452015-01-23T19:17:11.465+00:002015-01-23T19:17:11.465+00:00I confess that I am growing rather keen to get my ...I confess that I am growing rather keen to get my hands on Blucher. As I think you've noticed, I've been commenting as I go on a test drive of Dr. Mustafa's Longstreet rules and generally finding them worth the go. Today I waffled on a bit in response to a rather generous but reserved comment from the estimable Ross Mac about new fangled card-driven games and how one might rationalize the degree of card play in these systems. Are the cards a sop to younger players who enjoy a "gotcha" moment or do they actually conceal thoughtful core mechanisms of the rules? My answer is a judicious both, I think. By the way, since this post is all about me, thank you for including my humble little blog in your list of "Blogs I Enjoy". Quite touched, don't you know. More than that rotter Kinch has done, I can assure you.
