19thC Volley and Bayonet Variant

VOLLEY AND BAYONET VARIANT 
I have worked out a Volley and Bayonet variant (at the battalion scale) for continental post Napoleonic gaming. 
I have created and playtested a battalion scale variant of Volley and Bayonet for post Napoleonic 19th Century Continental Wars (see the Battle of Hatvan game report for an example of the most current version, or the Danish Delight and Battle of Dybbol reports, which were done using earlier versions).   

Although you might be able to work out the system based on the reference sheets and other information I've provided on this blog, you will probably need to have the Volley and Bayonet to make sense of things. My notes on the variant are important and should help to and explain the variant and how to implement it for yourself. 


CURRENT NOTES AND REFERENCE FOR POST NAPOLEONIC VNB VARIANT

BATTLE OF HATVAN OOB AND SETUP
The Battle of Hatvan scenario uses the above VnB Variant Materials. For victory conditions, see the description in the Battle Report.

1866 FRONTIER BATTLE 
This is a scenario roughly based on the Frontier Battles of 1866 (Austrian v Prussians) with a Divisional sized Prussian element pushing out from a constricted pass and the Austrians converging to push them back and/or prevent them from advancing into wider open territory. It is intended to be played with the multi-stand variant (see above) and the 1866 supplement (also see above).  The full details, special rules, and setup are contained in the below pdf:

1848 BATTLE OF SCHLESWIG--1st S-H War
As the name suggests, this scenario is based on the Battle of Schleswig between the Prussians and Danes in the early stages of the 1st S-H War.  It used a modified reference sheet, but could be played with any of the variants.
 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 EARLIER (OLD) VNB NOTES AND REFERENCE MATERIAL
Here you can find earlier versions in order to support earlier content  (the v2b ref sheet is the one used in the Battle of Dybbol game posted on the blog).  Also included is the set up information and VnB OOBs for the Battle of Dybbol game. These combined with the scenario information in the game report on my blog should allow you to run this scenario. 

Watch for posts on the main blog announcing updates to this page.    
 
Until then, dear reader, adieu...

  1. It’s good to see that you are still plugging away at these...
    Hopefully I will get some toys sorted out by the time the rules are ready 😁

    All the best. Aly

    1. Thanks, Aly: I'm pretty happy with where the VnB variant is at this point. With the initiation of my next painting project (RTW Russians) and my upcoming retirement, I intend to pick up where I left off on the CBW rules and get at least an initial product out there by the end of the year.
