Merry Christmas and Happy New Year all :!: This morning I was just clicking around on the internet between the the league sites and other images and ended up seeing a nice little map on Sedgemoor. http://fraxinus-victoryv.blogspot.ca/2009/03/sedgemoor-1685.html I recall Barry had done a demo game ba...
Hello Barry, I was just looking on the blog at the first play test post. Was curious if these new rules will tie in somehow with the Ireland Supplement or will the supplement stay based on BLB2. Very interesting project, would be ideal for Tangiers, Ireland or even small actions between Turenne and ...
To be considered a great Captain-General in my view is how did they apply/advance the art of war. Speaking of the TMP i recall a thread in which posters were comparing Conde and Turenne. One interesting comment from a poster was, and i am paraphrasing: "If I want a battle won I would pick Conde, if ...
Gents, I have been reading up on some of the great Captain-Generals of our period; La Grande Conde, Turenne, Luxembourg, Marlborough, Eugene, Villars and Charles XII of Sweden. There is a case to be made that perhaps Eugene and Turenne were in the first rank for the period. How I would rank them: 1....
Great looking game and scenario. Reference your comment about the scenario in different periods, it made me thing of C.S. Forester's novel 'The Gun' set in the Napoleonic period in Spain. Could easily be done.
Thanks Gents for the remarks. Barry, when you put it like that 2/3 of a battalion does seem too strong of a detachment. Aughrim is the only example I can think of for that type scenario for the GA War of even the WSS, however I do recall a similar case of Turenne using detached musketeers along a wo...
Thanks, I was just thinking along the lines of game mechanics. Instead of having single stands to represent the commanded shot, have the two musket stands of a battalion used forward of its Pike and Flags stand. I don't think there is anything in the rules of BLB2 for that but could be a house type ...
Hello Gents, Was looking at the reports of the big Aughrim refight, wow. I have some questions on how the Command Shot were used. Were they detach from the Regiment's Colours and Pike Stand(s) and moved forward? Or were they seperate stands that were done up for the refight then removed when they re...
Was just reading the review on the TMP. I was interested in the last poster's comments on the difference between GdeB and BP in regards to skirmishers. A brigade skirmish screen vice a battalion function. How does RtE hand skirmishers?
