With plenty of Napoleonic figures out there I am looking forward to the themed horror releases. I've already painted some Austrians for a Transylvanian theme. Fyi.. in folklore salt can be used vs zombies and sometimes a barrier to demons, and marbled paper was common in books at the time.
I wonder if I can find some American 1812 troops and shoehorn them into the game? Also forget the uniform rule! I will find historical unit uniforms and paint them up as if they're from various units put together for this mission and such.
@@paulmiddleton8487 They used to, but looks like they do not any more, just a standard box of 95th rifles (so at least there is that). However when trying to find what happened to them, I ran into Wargames Atlantic's plastic British Riflemen box comes with a volley gun, so you can have Harper there. The rest of Sharpe's merry band of miscreants mostly had standard gear, other than Sharpe's cavalry sword (and easy swap on plastic, or, as it is small, and no one will notice, don't swap), and you have them.
The 'microscope' look you were talking about was actually something that was done a lot in 18th and 19th century books! It's called paper marbling. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paper_marbling I saw a lot of it during my time as a history student in university!
Uuu, Exciting!!! I love Frostgrave and Rangers of Shadows Deep. Bought Stargrave but haven't gotten around to playing it yet. This seams very interesting, I've never played anything set in this time period so it'll get me to look up some new mini's.
Ah drat - when you discussed the army list page, the Austrian list wasn't shown. I came back to re-watch the vid tonight to see if how many of Eureka's Tyrolean Rebel type figures would be an easy fit into the list. They have always looked like perfect vampire hunters!
There is a book that I completely forget the name of at the moment, but it is about vampires in Moscow after the French army occupies the city. It was a very good book in my opinion.
@@bigbake132 there are and I was hoping to kitbash with things not normally seen on ‘historical’ napoleonics such as swords, books, potions and crucifixes
@@olympiangamers7007 You can find bits out there with exactly those pieces. Plastics are very modular. Not every game needs an "official" model line. Before Games Workshop, games never had official models and you would use whatever you wanted. People need to get away from the GW way of thinking.
@@jambot4621 Osprey used to have a very defined set of rules to the sizes of their books. Some authors had difficulties with the maximum amountbof pages, which is partly why most Osprey games have almost no fluff.
Finally be able to play out Pride and Prejudice and Zombies on the table ... :D
I for one would welcome the Bennett sisters armed to the teeth in miniature form!
@@paulmiddleton8487 sounds like a job for North Star Minis!
@@paulmiddleton8487 Bit late but I second that.
Musket action in a dark fantasy setting. What not to love.
Exactly! It's a fantastic ruleset!
Very excited for this game.
Going to just call it now. Next expansion book will be Egypt themed. With the ottoman being a new faction. Can't miss a chance with Napoleon's Egypt.
Hope there is a nation uniform painting guide somewhere in the book. Looks to be another popular game in the tradition of Frostgrave and Stargrave.
A lot of variation regiment to regiment within the same country.
Gazillion resources for those elsewhere
Osprey makes them lol and have been for decades.
I'm very intrigued! And very much looking forward to you documenting your getting started!
Great video! I am looking forward to your road to the silver bayonett!
Wargames Atlantic is building up a nice plastic Napoleonic line. They also have some giant spiders and lizard men that may work for this game.
That was a very useful walkthrough of the book. Much obliged! 🤝
This is marvelous.
We think so too.

What range would you recommend for this game. I’m not seeing a lot of variety to represent soldier types
the rules are nice, the miniatures too 😊
A great video, pre-ordered my copy after watching this.
We hope you enjoy this cracking game!

Cool idea, I like the mixed band concept. Look up war of 1812 for Americans.
it will look like the movie: Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter ^^
@@waardlafrance110 There's a 50 years difference. I was thinking The Adventures of the Brothers Grimm or something like that.
This looks fantastic! Going to get Sharpe and his chosen men for this I think...
Going for the Warlord models of them? Would be a very thematic force.
@@ostrowulf Warlord do Sharpe?!

Thanks Gareth! Yeah that Atlantic minis box looks pretty awesome!
Happy to help. I am tempted by that box myself, and I was not even planning to do Sharpe based stuff.
Pas besoin d'une version fantastique, les coalisés ont recréé l'horreur, quand ils ont réinstauré la monarchie des bourbons... ^^
Looking forward to it.
Love how you present the content❤️🤩
Glad you enjoy it!
Cant wait to get a copy in my hands!
Tables! This looks great...
We love us some tables!!! :P

Actually learning something from the RUclips comments. Who'd have thought it. :D
That's very interesting! Thanks for passing that knowledge on. :D

Are there solo rules?
I should have waited until end of video
Useful review. Not sure I can use my Flintloque stuff as hoped. Need specialist characters not just dudes with muskets.
Thanks! We're glad you enjoyed the review.
There are plenty of character miniatures in Flintloque which I imagine could work for the various roles of this game.
There is a book that I completely forget the name of at the moment, but it is about vampires in Moscow after the French army occupies the city. It was a very good book in my opinion.
I enjoyed this video.
Nice! If you haven't already, make sure to subscribe for more just like this video!
@@WargamesIllustrated oh I have subscribed
FIGURES R GREAT..
Cool to see a game written by Rich Evans even if it's under a pen name.
What’s going on with the ends of the Spanish muskets?
Special weapons for fighting monsters.
I think it’s metal flash from the casting process
It looked to me like they shoved onions on the end 😂
Damnit, the only thing I'm interested in hearing about was the campaign!!
come this in german !? 😃
So no accompanying plastic release :(
On the bright side, plastic Napolionics are easy to find.
Lol there's a billion Napoleonic figures out there you can use for this game.

I guess no more standard size books
I'm not sure there's ever been standard sized books and *looks at rulesets collected on my shelf* especially not when it comes to wargaming!

@@ostrowulf Oh, with the blue books? They've not followed that format consistently for a while now, thankfully.
The sound sucks it's way too low !!
