We roped in a few of our gaming friends (thanks Bryan, Richard and Ste!) to help push the lead round the table, and so last Sunday afternoon we were finally ready to test the rules in earnest.

So with a minimum of arm-twisting, I persuaded Scott to host a Valour & Fortitude game at his place. My pal Scott Bowman (owner of Kapiti Hobbies) has a very well-equipped wargames room with three tables and an exquisite set of scratch-built terrain tiles. So despite enjoying reading through the rules, I couldn’t actually play a game to test how they worked. But although I have loads of Napoleonic troops, I don’t have a wargames table. Of course, I snapped them up straight away.

Yep, Jervis Johnson and the Perry twins released their free downloadable Valour & Fortitude rules late last year. Judge Dredd™, STRONTIUM DOG™ Rebellion A/S, ©Rebellion A/S, All rights reserved.A set of new Napoleonic rules? Ingeniously simple rules? Only eight pages (and that includes the front cover and a quick reference sheet!)? Written by wargames legends Jervis Johnson, Alan Perry and Michael Perry? And continuously supported and updated by them? Hmm, intriguing. 2000AD® 2000AD is a registered trade mark ® and © Rebellion A/S All rights reserved. K-9 image © BBC/Bob Baker/Dave Martin 1977.
