Discuss the Honour system.

   I really love this ruleset and trust me I have tried many. My only gripe is with the army lists, I would just have prefered them to be points driven instead of fixed as now I am forced to put together 4 Light Cavalry Regiments for example. So if you play in 28mm it can be very time consuming and expensive to get a basic army together. Why not do a seperate Points system as a PDF download for those that prefer. Just a thought....

   Secondly why not take a very successful set of rules and rather role it out for other periods such as WSS, 7 yrs War, ACW etc instead of trying to create a whole new set in a different scale. IMHO

   Rod,

   Here in Auckland we have already developed a proposed points system that Cam devised - see here:
   http://awc.wargaming.info/napoleonics-1790-1840/in-search-of-points-lasalle
   And yes you are kinda right - some of the lists are obviously generic scaled versions of proportions of troops in the army - e.g. British Light Cavalry Brigades never had 4 Regiments in them AFAIK - but do in the Lasalle AB Lists (usually they were 2 and on rare occasions 3) - but clearly Sam had to make some compromises to get some form of play balance, etc...

   Re: Your second point I believe that is a long-term plan of Sam's eventually...

   I will make an "official" announcement in about a month, most likely. The game is in the final play testing phases, and I'm already working on the art for the book.

   I expect to release it in late Summer or Autumn of 2012.

   As for the period/theme/topic... well, you'll see soon!

    Hopefully it has a points driven option?

    The artwork and layout for the book usually takes at least three months. Unfortunately I've lost my wonderful photographer from Lasalle, so I'll have to find a new one. I'll also solicit photos from you guys when the time comes.

    Once the printing contract is signed, there's another 3-4 month period during which they print and ship (books are always surface freight, which adds another month in transit.)

    So, realistically, I expect to be done with the play testing in a month, and I'm getting started shopping photographers and printers, so... some time @8 months after November means something like July/August.

    The game is definitely coming. I just want to roll out the announcement in style, with a proper, nicely-illustrated e-brochure that will answer a lot of questions and not create confusion.

    I just haven't had the time yet to do that, but I will soon.
