More Nap rules......I like Naps, but seriously folks do we need more...... :sm_pirate_igitt:

If they serve their purpose - some folks playing and being happy - then why not?
As there are so many already another set won\'t hurt nor will it split the community any further than all the previous ones have done already.

Although some decent rule sets for less well covered eras and areas would be appreciated for sure

There is also no really need in WW2 rules and new ww2 rules are released frequently.

I think the industry knows what the wargamer needs and what he will buy. There are only a few among us who have a right mind.Almost everyone of us collects hobby stuff he actually does not need. And a lot of people will buy this rule set although they know it will be kept in the shelve.

This Napo Project has similarities with Battlefront entering the wargames market. Web design, miniature box design. The hobby section. I am really curious if they are successful.
If so - we will soon see huge Napo- Tournaments. Remember my words - Napo goes mainstream !

Anyway...good luck for a new game.

Naja, eine Standardisierung des Basierungssystems wäre schon eine nette Sache, und wenn das durch ein Mainstream-System passiert, wieso nicht?

Die Regeln lesen sich überdies angenehm. Man hat in einige Aspekten Anleihen bei Flames of War genommen - etwa das System von Erfahrung- und Moralstufen und das vorhandensein besonderer Befehlshaber - allerdings sind die weiteren Regeln doch schon darum bemüht, ein epochenspezifisches Flair zu vermitteln. Es wirkt sich z.B. auf die eigenen Einheiten aus, wenn sie im Feuerbereich der gegnerischen Artillerie sind, oder wenn gegnerische Kavallerie im Umkreis der eigenen Truppen ist und so eine potentielle Bedrohungssituation entsteht.

Very much so.

By this you mean vs Germany then yes absolutely, however there is very little out there on the pacific and so that could use some rule sets.


For myself I\'d like to see some different less covered areas released with some company having an original idea for a change. However, if other people don\'t have enough Nap rules then I\'m happy for them.

Gibts einen speziellen Grund warum die Figuren in 18mm Grösse sind?

18mm is the new 15mm due to scale creep I think. Also, like some others have suggested I think they are doing Nap version of FOW in product distribution and game organizatzion.

Gibts einen speziellen Grund warum die Figuren in 18mm Grösse sind?

Das ist so eine komische neue Tendenz in der Figurenherstellung die Figuren etwas größer zu machen.
Deshalb spricht man von 15mm (was aber auch 18mm sein kann...) und \"true 15mm\".

Xyston´s Figuren werden auch von Reihe zu Reihe immer größer... AB-Miniatures hat riesige Figuren, Venexia hat
große Figuren und bestimmt noch viele mehr...die mir jetzt nicht einfallen.

Ansonsten ist das Regelwerk mir sowas von egal ! Es gibt viele und sehr schöne Regelwerke für jeden
Geschmack. Von umsonst bis superteuer.. von PDF-Dateien zum downloaden bis zu wunderschönen Hardcover-Büchern.
Mit und ohne Bildern...Regelwerke für Skirmishes, Battalionsebene, Divisionsebene, für Corps und ganze Armeen...

Aber warum nicht ein neues, hübsch aufgemachtes mit eigener Figurenrange ? Mir kanns nur recht sein, wenn sich
mehr Leute dafür interessieren  

Mal abwarten , ob sich genügend Interessenten dafür finden.

Sehe ich ähnlich, \"The more, the merrier\", es wird schließlich niemand zum Kaufen gezwungen. Wenn es zudem das Potenzial hat, neue Leute ins Hobby zu holen, dann umso besser.

No question that\'s always a good thing which shouldn\'t be confused with not wanting more games. Personally for myself, I just cannot absorb so many different rule sets of the same period in so short a space of time. I was just getting my head around Lasalle when 3-4 Nap rules have hit in succession afterwards. I really wish they would space things out a bit more was my point. Anyone feeling the same thing or is it just me?
Also, other periods less traveled would be nice as well sometimes, like all the wars that the Byzantines fought just for example.

Same here. Even in a good month I can only manage one or two games these days - so it\'s hard enough to memorize two or three rulesets given that little practice. Why has everything to be new or changed all the time in these times? I know - asking these questions is a sure sign of getting old  :wissenschaftler: .

Same for me.
Read a couple of rules sets, found Lasalle to be perfect for me, happy ever since. The bunch of recently released Napo rule sets that hit the shelves after Lasalle offered nothing new, and - at least as far as I am concerned - nothing above what Lasalle offered. A pity the book is out of print. It\'s hard to spread the word via *.pdf ...
Anyway, the basing system of NaW seems pretty flexible and entirely Lasalle-compatible. The only thing I do not like about \"Rules+Miniatures\" projects like FoW is that the manufacturer tends to sell his minis custom-bundled for his own rules set only, making it pretty hard to add the odd fusilier here and there to accomodate other rules. No problem here, as long as the size matches an existing range (like AB, Fantassin, CGM etc.), but those NaW 18mm blokes seem pretty bulky to me. I\'ll wait and see.

That is something that rarely happens because of economic reasons. Wargamers are flighty and have a short span of attention :rolleyes: . Most companies prefer the safe-selling mainstream conflicts even though the profit margin gets thinner due to the overcrowding of the market. It is still more promising than risky and even less profitable niche conflicts. Products for these periods depend on the recklessness and dedication of their originators rather than economic reason.

However, I agree with you. I like to see stuff outside the ever repeating  potpourri of Early Imperial Romans, Vikings, Normans, Napoleonics, ACW, Sudan, WW2, etc.
