IN THE NAME OF GLORY In the Name of Glory started life as a simple system that would enable large demonstration war games to be played relatively quickly. Over a period of time these simple rules have evolved into the gaming system you see here.
I first saw these rules in 1998, being used to conduct a war game at the Napoleonic Fair in London. I was impressed by the way that such a large game, played with thousands of figures, flowed with ease and the very positive reception the game received, both from war gamers and members of the public.
The high standard of presentation and the quality of the rules themselves impressed me. They are well laid out, easy to follow and also managed to retain my interest - always a bonus.
I found David Marks' rules surprisingly easy to master and the straightforward playing system creates a good historical representation of Napoleonic warfare. The ongoing morale system, and the command & control system, together with the rules' many subtleties surely capture the flavour, excitement and unpredictability of battle.
The rules contain a good deal of very useful information and the pre-calculated tables, used to resolve firing and melee save time by eliminating the need to trawl through lists of factors.
Over the years I have used many sets of rules, but it has been a long time since a set of rules such as In the Name of Glory has resulted in so many enjoyable and interesting games. These are a great set of rules, which I am sure, will challenge the strategic ability of both novice and experienced war gamer alike. ( Stuart Asquith, Military Writer and Historian )
