Huzzah!
Huzzah! – the first edition of these tactical Napoleonic wargames rules is available here (see links below) and on the Huzzah_UK group on Yahoo Groups UK & Ireland. The first edition of Huzzah! is free. Huzzah! 2 (formerly Huzzah! GTx) is an “express” set of grand tactical Napoleonic rules. This will be the second edition of Huzzah!, a game aimed at club play, rather than a simulation, with brigades as the base unit. A playable version that uses the army lists from Huzzah! itself is available on the Huzzah_GT Yahoo Group
Work has started on producing a print edition of the original Huzzah! rules, with an intended release date sometime in 2009. The rules will cease to be available free on the web once the print edition is available.
Huzzah! uses two ordinary six-sided dice throughout and relies on the quality of officers to get their commands moving. As a morale-based game, it makes a feature of the reluctance of men to close with the enemy.
Two-player games are best at division level, with three or four brigades for each player providing an evening’s game. Multi-player games can go much larger, and the command and orders system is written to accommodate multi-brigade up to multi-corps games.
The base units in Huzzah! are the infantry battalion, cavalry regiment and artillery battery, and the rules can accommodate a variety of basing systems.
Four Adobe Acrobat files comprise Huzzah!, all of which are downloadable here for free. You will need all four files to play and get the best understanding of Huzzah!
