Can I use CS&C with other than 15mm miniatures?

Yes!  We recommend you adjust the grid size appropriately (6” for 25mm, 2” for 5 or 10mm troops).  There is no need to adjust “ranges” with a grid based system.

Do you sell directly to the pubic?

Yes!  Via our new ebay store front!    deckergames

My hobby store does not stock CS&C, how would they obtain copies for me and all my friends?

Have your local shop owner contact us (retail contact information is on this site!).  We offer information packages and can accommodate very small retail orders.  CS&C is also available through on-line stores:

Are you creating more Player Handbooks and Scenarios?  When will they be for sale?

You Bet!  Handbooks to round out 1809 are already being drafted.  They include British, Spain & Portuguese for the peninsular campaigns and Napoleon's Allies.  We’re not sure yet how many books this will end up being as there are quite a few units to cover with both the Brit and French allies.  Definitely two books with as many as five or six under consideration to cover all of 1809.

We included the Austrian and French 1809 handbooks in the basic rule set to get you started.  We anticipate we’ll release additional handbooks in pairs with the addition of a scenario book with 8-10 new games.

When are going to put out a handbook for my favorite period of the Napoleonic Wars?  Why did you start with 1809?

We all have our favorite periods of the war whether it’s the early Northern Italian Campaigns where Napoleon made his rise to fame, the more obscure Russo-Swedish or Ottoman wars, or pounding the paths of the vast Russian Invasion of 1812.  For now we are working our way through 1809.  We started there as it was a mid point of the era and quite frankly, one we personally game quite a bit.

Just having the 1809 “official” handbooks should not stop you from gaming any Napoleonic period with CS&C rules.  You will just need to use your judgment on troop qualities in the field at that time and adjust any formation sizes (i.e. French Bns got smaller after 1808) to fit the time you are gaming. 

 

 

 

 

Do Infantry Battalions, Artillery Batteries, or Cavalry Regiments using road movement (in road march formation, following a marked road) incur an action point to “change facing” and follow the road?

No, if your unit is in road formation, which includes “limbered” for Artillery Batteries, you do NOT pay any additional action points to change facing during your movement, if you are following a road.  This includes making directional changes at road intersections. 

When determining if units are within Command & Control Range must you take into account terrain costs?

No, when tracing Command and Control distance terrain costs do not count.  The only exception is you may not trace Command and Control through terrain that is impassable (for all types of units).  Example, you may not trace Command & Control across an unaffordable river, except across a bridge or designated ford site.
