VOLLEY & BAYONET
NAPOLEONIC RULES BY GDW


Written by Frank Chadwick and Greg Novak produced by Game Designers Workshop. This is grand tactical military miniatures rules set for the 18th and 19th Centuries. The multi-color rules booklet has more than 95 pages that cover the basics (movement, fire, and melee) in an effective way. It also includes three sets of scenarios, The Ancien Regimes, The Napoleonic Wars, and Early Modern Wars. The rules suggest some remounting of units but this can be done by cutting stands to fit VOLLEY & BAYONET requirements and placing your units on those. The photographs in the rules show units mounted in this manner. In some respects this rules set seems to be along the lines of a board game with figures, but it IS a miniatures rules set. As in the Command Decision rules there are a set of status markers included with the rules. The rules are workable and complete as is expected form this set of authors. We will be doing a comparison article with this set in the future so we will save the details on the rules until then he set costs $14.00 and can be purchased from GDW or any good hobby store.
