I think we tried that one and gave up because the rules were unclear. Happy to give it another try though.

Timings going to be an issue......I'm off on me 'olls from Saturday for a week.

I've played M44 and I'm not a fan. I don't mind a simple game, but M44 is just on the wrong side of the line. I did wonder about C&C Ancients, but the money scares me. I think I inherited the Napoleonic version, but I've never actually checked to see if all the blocks are there......and the rules are missing!

I'm sure that an evening playing a game with a glass or two of g&t or port would be most splendid.......provided the energy levels held up.

I've got the Bridge too far game: Operation Market Garden game, never used which might fit the bill?https://www.boardgamegeek.com/boardgame ... ket-garden

[EDIT: Although looking at the price it goes for, even 'mates rates' might be too expensive ]

I like C&C Napoleonics. I really like C&C Tricorne AWI. The rules are fairly simple and abstract in places but lots of flavour (esp the AWI one). The price is..... high.

Not sure how simple M44 is or whether it was the C&C mechanics you didnt like or that particular implementation. I've never been a fan of its visuals - i dont like using figures in such an abstract way. But thats a personal thing.

Fourteen quid? I'm looking at the wrong price, right?

Fer........fer........ferkin' hell. How much? Too rich for me.........maybe. Perhaps I'll treat myself.

I hate the visual for M44, and there doesn't seem much to the tactics. I've only played four games though so perhaps I need to give it another try.

I wonder if I can get a separate copy of the Napoleonic rules? Presumably the rules list all the playing pieces, and I'd be able to check I have the full set.
