En Garde! (with Osprey rules)

A king's musketeer on a mission
There seems to be a musketeers theme developing this year. I backed the 1666AD kickstarter with the theme of the musketeers and friends making an appearance at the congress of Vienna. The last emperor of the Holy Roman has passed away and the different fractions meet in Vienna to declare a successor with secret deals being done in seedy taverns while messengers need to be escorted or intercepted without being obvious and raising the attention of the city watch. It sounds like a nice theme and I am looking forward to trying I out.
Elsewhere the militia are trying out Osprey's En Garde rules which have a similar namely sticking people with the point end of an Epee. Recently, we had a two on two game with a musketeer patrol encountering a bad of miscreants.
