Barry,
My son an I played a GNW game tonight; Battle of Fraustadt 1706. Several questions came up, hopefully you can settle our discussion:
- When a Swedish unit lose 50% or more, what stand comes off? The Swedes are organized a bit different than other armies; the center stand is where the colors and pike are at. So does a musket stand or a the command/pike stand come off first?
- Using the GNW Swede modifier for charging a +1 to the die, is that only used once on the initial round, or can it be used in the 2nd & 3rd round of melee too?
- Speaking of melee; what happens after three round of melee? Fight on or the loser breaks off? We have a few combats go three rounds, unfortunalty my son rolled poorly and there were routs involved.
- Standard muskety fire; What does the modifer "Target is charging horse or gunners" mean? (this was a 20 minute debate)
- Artillery Question #1; Gunners being contacted by horse or foot, do they fight of flee once contacted? I thought I read this somewhee in the rules, but couldn't find it that they fled.
Artillery Question #2; Can artillery unlimber and fire in the same turn? I thought I read this too, but coudn't find it. I thought it was ok for light guns at half die.
Thank you for your response. Will post a link to the game picks this weekend. We actually didn't finish; will come back to finish in a few days.
