Musket and Saber Napoleonics
Rules Napoleonics
Musket and Saber is a set of free wargames rules for the Napoleonic Era. From teh introduction:
Introduction: This is a game of warfare in Napoleonic warfare in Europe using 15mm size model soldiers. Each model = 50 infantry in 3 ranks, 40 cavalry in 2-3 ranks, 8 artillerists, or 2 cannon. 1” = 30 paces (about 25 yards). Time scale is undefined.
Dice: 6-sided (D6). Distances: Inches. Troops: Infantry, heavy cav (HC), med. cav (MC), light cav (LC), and light, field, or heavy artillery. Light and field artillery may also be horse guns. Units are battalions of infantry, groups of 1-4 squadrons of cavalry, or batteries of 2-4 gun models, each with 4 crew models. Morale grades: A, B, C, or D. The rules measure damage by removing models (hits). Units are in play until down to 25% strength (shattered). Formations: Column (1-4 inf or 1-3 cav models wide), line (wider), square, limbered, manhandled. Pre-measuring distances is Ok. The rules will work with any reasonable basing system. However, if you mount your models at 3/8” width per infantry figure and 1/2” per cavalry figure, this will be the correct frontage for the ground scale. Each gun model should have a 1” frontage. Bases are usually 1/2” deep for infantry, 1” deep for cavalry, and 1.5” deep for guns. This is a 2-page set of rules; apply common sense.
