If people have played and at least can point others in the right direction without waiting then why not post? The sh...

Shaken units and recovery and a couple of other things.

If a unit is Shaken does it have to have a rally token in order to recover or can it do it automatically. Is there a priority to allocating order markers. Rallying from retreating and rout seems to require them as a must before anything else is done. But if you had units advancing as part of the gam...

Big Games

This is because there did seem to be a lot of dressing the lines once units had reached a reasonable combat distance. This was even under fire. And do people substitute tokens for Brigad...

Thanks for the reply Barry. We have a big game next week and I still have to do the building bases. I am tempted to allow one building to allow one Battalion. Obviously the base area would be the same as 2 Battalions. However what would be best for units firing. I imagine that only the first rank wo...
