Sharp Practice Files

All files are free and open to editing. Please report any typos or other errors in the comments section below. 

Sharp Practice Rules Reference v2.1
Not quite what I would call a "Quick Reference," but I did manage to condense a lot down into 2 pages (front and back). This reference covers a lot of the basic stuff that veteran players will know, but I could see it being useful for players who do not get a chance to play that often, and for those who are learning the game. Mostly black and white for easy printing. You could print it on off-white parchment paper to give it that old-timey feel.

Two spaces on the Master Arsenal Table were intentionally left blank since people may want to write in their own stats for exotic artillery pieces, like swivel guns or mortars.

v2.1 contains a "Terrain and Movement" chart and a correction to some cut-off text.

Because I'm a nut, I play with 10mm miniatures and with distances halved.

Sharpulator Reformatted
This document is a reformatted version of the TooFatLardies original Sharpulator, the points calculating system for Sharp Practice. I tidied it up a bit, and made a few changes per forum discussions on the TFL website. Footnotes reference where changes from the original were made.

Generic Leader Card Set
This set includes 8 standard-sized Leader cards, 4 red and 4 blue. Print on card-stock and cut out. Card sleeves help tremendously with shuffling. The "Visual" row gives you a place to write an easily identifiable characteristic of the miniature being used to represent the Leader.

Dawns & Departures Narrative Campaign Manager v0.75

(VASSAL Module) 

This is a module for the open-source board-game engine VASSAL, for the running of Dawns and Departures narrative campaigns by email. At the moment, this is raw and unplaytested, but will continue to develop as I see things that need to be added. 

So far, the module will track:

Campaign Map Terrain

Double-blind movement

Unit Stats (editable as the campaign goes on)

Campaign Time (A.M./P.M.)

Supplies

Turn Reports

Units assigned to special duty (Patrolling for Infantry, and Screening, Reserve, Battle, or Patrolling for Cavalry)

Dawns & Departures v 0.75 VASSAL Module

Note: the Umpire player has complete control over the Reports, Supplies, and Turn Tracking pieces. The umpire should be sure to select "hide" so that the players can only see their reports and remaining supplies. 

 

Dawns & Departures Campaign Map Terrain Image Files
This .zip archive contains various campaign map terrain art from the Too Fat Lardies' book Dawns & Departures. It also contains some art from a TFL blog post on a Peninsular War campaign with SP (here), as well as some art of my own. The files themselves are in .png format, and are a universal size.

Please note: the artwork here is original to the Too Fat Lardies, and I will gladly remove these files promptly if they so request.
