The Thin Red Line (wargame)

[1] Critic Ian Chadwick noted that "Numerous small rules cover a host of possible situations and modifications to the procedures.

Two of those, both Napoleonic wargames designed by S. Craig Taylor, used the same game system: The Great Redoubt and Thin Red Line.

In Issue 107 of Campaign, John Olsen commented on the twin games Thin Red Line and The Great Redoubt, saying, "Yaquinto has brought out a couple of games which use a first rate system to let you experience the scissors-cut-paper, rock-breaks-scissors, paper-covers-rock aspect of early 19th-century warfare.

Chadwick had a few complaints: "the rules format is difficult, the counters too thick and impossible to cut free without a sharp blade.

Despite these challenges, Chadwick gave the game grades of "B" for Playability, "B" for Historical Accuracy, and "C" for Component Quality, concluding, "For a first expedition in Napoleonics, Yaquinto has done quite well and seems to have learned a lot from what has gone before in the field.
