I have no idea, which is why I asked. I do think the Napoleon supplement is awesome and it got me into wanting to try it.

As far as I am concerned, WAB is sufficient to simulate, effectively, just about any conflict and army up until the Anglo-Boer/second South African War (1899-1902) where the armies fought in loose formation.
It is not the horrors of war that troubles me, but the unseen horrors of peace.

I would agree with you. I think you could get some really good rules and have a lot of fun using The Great War!

I would really like to try The Great War. Failing that, I would probably end up writing a supplement using Warhammer 40,000 as a basis. The same with Kampfgruppe Normandie. I have been wanting to write a 40k based WWII supplement for ages.

We change the system from WAB to WAC and so will change the Napoleon book step by step too. We are very excited by all the opportunities WAC offers to play the napoleonic era and are pretty sure it will be enhanced by that step.

So it became Napoleonic WAC in the not that distant future :)

We change from WAB to war & Conquest and proceed here:
viewtopic.php?f=111&t=11424


WAC seems to be perfect as basic ruleset for the supplement!
And many points are better and some open ones solved.
