95th - Last Man Standing

Here is one of my rare battle reports.  I put some effort in as I was inspired by a previous post.

Well done bat rep. The paper counters look great in the photos. This game is on my list to play soon. 


What app did you use?

I used Comic Life 3.  An iPad app I bought years ago.  It used to be quite challenging to run but my new iPad handles it easily.  That said it was quite a bit of work to get it right.

I was inspired by your excellent FNG report.  I looked at the app you used.  It looks good but its a bit expensive. 

Ed pointed me towards the Sharpes Rifles TV series when I bought 95th.  If you haven't seen it I recommend it as it brings the game to life.  I don’t really know Napoleonic history so it’s a great primer!

Looks like you had fun and as usual the game mechanics took you down an unexpected road, this one tough.

In the past I have tended to slow my game down by adding story elements as I go. I did it different this time. I just played the game straight and then noted down little narratives sparingly to give it some life. It worked well. I played the entire campaign pretty quickly. Its all too easy for me to get lost in the detail but I’m getting better at it.

I do like the comic book AAR's, obviously. For the reader, it's quick and interesting. For the writer, "a long and winding road". ;-)

Indeed!
