My favorite designer sharing a game from his favorite designer!

I hadn't built a brand new prototype for way too long. I almost forgot how it felt!

We played Quatre Bras with @mropla.bsky.social and it was awesome! youtu.be/iTW_1ho5oS8?...

I missed this exciting first-person account from the Rivoli battlefield! Thank you @letsplayhistory.bsky.social !

Playtesting the Battlefield of Saalfeld with the Solo Aide-de-camp.

Battlefields of the Napoleonic Wars is a winner. My gaming partner isn't drawn to Napoleonic and/or hexes, but loved this. Yes, it's light, but don't let that or the homespun production fool you. Timing, combined arms use and risk taking when needed make this a smart challenge. @mropla.bsky.social

Thank you Rodney! 🙇🏻

Today’s frivolity is La Coruña 1809 from Battlefields of the Napoleonic Wars, by Ingenioso Hidalgo (Paolo Mori & Alessandro Zucchini). A fast-playing system pitched at about the same scope and complexity as Commands & Colours, but with novel mechanics.
