The Commander Series Forum

Can I mention Horse and Musket rules here? Ooops, already have!

Just wondered if anyone else here has played BBB?

No, I've not heard of them.

Hi Dave

Have you looked at twomarshals.blogspot.com? That's the blog of Alan "Shedman" of this forum. They play BBB a lot, adapted to the Russo Japanese War.

Alan's also on Facebook with some really interesting AARs. The game system looks really good to play out those large battles in a single session.

Thanks gents.

BBB is an excellent set of rules not only for fighting large historical battles of the late 19th century on a 6x4 table in an evening but also for other periods with a bit of thought.

There are loads of historical battles on the yahoo group https://uk.groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/BBB_wargames/info

We have also used it for Caesarian Romans vs Britons, Modern Africa, the Russo-Japanese War and skirmish games

Played a couple of games of BBB and am working on some armies for FPW https://18clovehamhock.blogspot.com/search...

Yes, it’s very good

@billb, looking good … 2mm is quite small. I like giant sized 6mm, some of my work is on the BBB Yahoo Group run by Chris Pringle. Waterloo is being played in a few weeks, having done the skirmishes at Solferino and Koniggratz.

Dave,
I originally intended to go with 6mm,but the difference in cost for the amount of figures that would eventually be needed compared to getting the 2mm figures printed by a fellow club member ended up favoring the 2mm guys.
