Black Powder: Quick Reference Sheets

Hello all,

In preparation for a Black Powder Napoleonic game that I'll be running at KublaCon I've updated my quick reference sheet for Black Powder and figured I would post it up.  In addition to the main rules QRS I have British, Prussian and French quick reference sheets done for the Albion Triumphant volume 2 expansion and have included them below as well.

As with the Dead Man's Hand QRS, if you would like a PDF of the sheets just drop me an email at sotek486@yahoo.com and I'll send them along.  General idea here is that you have two double-sided sheets for the main rules and one double-sided sheet for the nationality you are playing.  I'm working on nationality sheets for Albion Triumphant volume 1 (specifically updates for French and British - with additions of the Spanish and Portuguese).

I'll note that for command tests my group "house ruled" that it was too easy to get 3 moves --- so we say you get three moves only if your modified command result is 2 or less.  If you want to modify these QRS for yourself, just drop me an email and I can send you the original files (they are in MS PowerPoint).

Images below of the QRS pages.

  3. I was just thinking revisiting these rules - which I haven't played since 2012! I would like to do Toulouse. Thanks for the great work on these QRS.
