UNIVERSAL WARGAMES RULES SUPPLEMENT 2) Foraging, Insurrection, Marauders, Bakeries, Convoy

This book introduces Volume Two of Supplementary Wargaming Rules, with 25-28mm scale miniature figures and models. This book follows from the 2016 Partizan Press’ Universal Wargames Rules Supplement 1: Napoleonic Small Siege, River Ship, Gunboat & Pontooning. Written to fit within the historical rules systems currently popular in the wargaming community, this book covers scenarios such as peasant insurrection and soldier-marauders.

This book covers several additional aspects of Napoleonic period warfare including foraging, field bakeries; convoy supply trains; river convoys; magazines; and, encampments. This volume is about wargaming the rear-echelon areas of Napoleonic armies, which were ongoing battlegrounds outside the larger scale battles, which usually dominate conventional wargaming.

The supplementary rules have been written to develop a range of possible wargaming scenarios, with historical backgrounds as examples, and some rules based on these events. These are intended to include within larger games, or as small roll-plays.

The book includes a end-section for updated information on several topics originally coved in the 2016 UWRS1 including Turkish river gunboats; Napoleon’s 1809 swinging pontoon bridge; Napoleon’s pile-driving engines; Napoleonic era use of the 18-pounder field gun; and Napoleonic armoured floating batteries, with new rules."C Flaherty. large format v well illus.
