Anyone got these rules? 'Charge' by Athena

Has anyone got a copy of these rules please? I think they may have been written by Stuart Asquith and will be very ancient.

Athena Publishing: 'Charge' Napoleonic Wargames Rules.

These are not 'the' Charge rules, but may have been based upon them.

Many thanks.

There are 2 versions published by Athena.

The one you are looking for is the 1979 version. I don't have a copy of this version. There are details here.

http://www.figuren.miniatures.de/wargam ... rules.html

This version has extra rules covering a range of conflicts including Napoleonic. I have been sent a summary of these amendments.

The 2nd Athena version is a facsimile of the original Charge published in 1986.

Them's the one, Mark. Well done. I thought they were specifically Napoleonic - evidently not.

I don't suppose you could send me a copy of the summary?

Are they the same amendments you use?

I have popped you an email

But broadly yes I use these amendments plus a few of my own thrown in.

I started wargaming with the facsimile edition of the original Young & Lawford 'Charge!' from Athena, but it was 1985.
