Clash of Arms/La Bataille series

[Coniglius]

Lou,

I have several LB games.  Every year or so I pull them out, marvel at the beauty of the games and then, again, run into the "which rules do I use issue.  I did notice that Steve Carr has listed several of the ME big box games on CSW Marketplace.  I think Leipzig is one of those.  Steve is in Canada but I have heard that he is easy to work with.  

Good luck!

Thanks Matt, I'll look him up.

I toyed with the 'which rules do I use' issue for a while myself, and eventually resigned myself to learning the 4th edition. The Marie Louise (simplified) version is too simple for someone who has been playing these for 20+ years.  I do marvel at the sheer beauty of the maps and counters and I have played many a fictional battle on some of those maps, mixing and matching along the way. As I said, it is my favorite Napoleonic series of all time, and I've been playing Napoleonic boardgames for 35+ years now!!!
