The following question also came up last night: Situation: Austrian Division in position on Defend Orders, led by an average commander. French Division of 2 x Infantry and 1 x Cavalry brigade, with 1 x Infantry on Attack and the others on Advance orders, led by a superior commander. The French start...

One more question on this that arose in ouur game last night: With the Charge Phase being later in the sequence than the Move Phase, I assume that for brigades on "Attack" orders you should "Reserve" the MPs required to initiate compusory charges once MPs have been allocated to "Maintain existing br...

Thanks again and I agree with your approach to try and reduce player control. We are about to start a campaign, and I'm hoping to nail down a few aspects of the rules before we kick off. One other question is on the casualties during close combat which seem very high. My thinking is that cavalry sho...

Again, thanks for the quick reply. So just to clarify the second question: If I have two bigades, one on Attack and one on Defend, do I first spend the points maintaining orders for both brigades and then if any MPs are left over they must be used on units in charge range and under the Attack order ...

Firstly, I think we have been playing the Attack order incorrectly in that when the order to "Attack" is issued, the brigade should not move until the next turn unless on an exploit. So pre...

Justin, the historical precedent is Peter Hofschroer's description of Prussian artillery in action in The Eagle's last Triumph - The French victory at Ligny. Descriptions contained in that book gave us the idea in the first place. The mechanism works very well and really focuses the brain on how to...

This is a very interesting mechanic and seems to give a purpose to all of those reserve Russian batteries, however questions have arrisen as to it's historical accuracy.

Is there a historical basis to this rule or is it a mechanic devised to give more historical results?

Many thanks

Justin

Great set of rules, we've played a few small Divisional sized games so far and it seems as though they flow really well and will play very quickly. One question came up around Brigade/Dvisional morale which does not seem to have been included. Is this a deliberate decision or are we missing somethin...
