Hello all, does anyone here play these? I use the Napoleonic dice for several homemade linear warfare rules and am working on a WW2 set with the Memoir44 series, and a Samurai set as well. I LOVE the battle dice!

Hello, does anyone have a link for the Night Raid tables? I'm out of home for a few days and I meant to play on Vassal, but the tables are not included (and I can't find them on BGG).
Thank you.

Granada has better components than more traditional wargames.
New gamers are going to look through this list and not find this group.
I recently had a chance to try out the old game, The Marcher Lords by Microgame Design Group. It is a game about the Norman conquest of Wales. It's simple enough for a beginner to learn, but I felt it was much too easy for the Welsh to win. I wrote a review about it here: https://centurionsreview.com/the-marcher-lords/the-marcher-lords-review/
I am an avid player of boardgames and my favorite type is war boardgames. I recently discovered this and thought I would head here to see if anyone owns it and their reactions to it and ask a few questions.
Has anyone bought and played this game and if so how was it?
Was the cost for the units and markers worth it?
What expansions do you see as a must have?
I tried the Russo-Georgian War of 2008 over the weekend and it was a pretty decent simulation. See the review at: https://centurionsreview.com/russo-georgian-war-of-2008/russo-georgian-war-of-2008-review/
