I wanted to compliment you and your colleagues for the excellent work done on the TLNB series. Aside from being rattling good games, and solid simulations of war at the grand tactical level, they are superior study aids. I'm currently reading Thunder on the Danube with Last Success maps and counters set-up, and it is nothing short of a revelation. The maps in the books are pretty good, but Success provides a unique visualization of situations and possibilities. The graphics provide clarity and aesthetic appeal, making study of the battles a curiously satisfying experience. Great job!

I must admit that I just discovered this series of games. I'm pushing some counters around now on the solo table while trying to learn the rules. The quality of the components and obvious knowledge of the designer make the series addictive. I suddenly want to catch up and buy all the previous TLNB games. I guess I need to start saving my money since Napoleon's Last Gamble will probably by my next purchase, even though I want them all. My only gripe is that I don't have table space for more than one map at a time.

I like how the LNB tri/quad/quint-game format lets you include less-covered or never-covered topics. That was true from the start, with 4LB. Where else are you going to find a Katzbach game, for example? Now we have a mix of big-name battles plus Pultusk/Golymin, Maloyaroslavets, everything in the La Patrie box, and all the extension material that makes NLG not my father's NLB. Except for Talavera, nothing in the Quagmire box has been much covered, if at all. It's an 18" inch shelf of old & new, familiar & fresh.

Just want to say thanks for the great games.The historical feel they offer is brilliant and they compliment my (just now,somewhat obssesive!) reading of napoleon's life and campaigns so well. The series is easily my favourite wargame system because of the well balanced rules, and outstanding maps and components which give the right balance between fun and accuracy. Have thus far got La Patrie and Last Gamble, but will be geting the rest in due time.

I have followed your designs - and played quite a few of them - for many years now, and sincerely admire the crystal clear reasoning behind design decisions and your outstanding historical notes, which led me to get more involved in the Napoleonic Era in several ways, from some reading to historical reenactment (now for more than 10 years) of "our" Guerra de la Independencia/ Peninsular War.

I have been reading this evening every page of the most impressive "Wargame Design 2014" collection, a publication I did not know about, and have been REALLY impressed both by its quality and insightful information and the passion it is transpiring
