Hi, I'm not sure how to handle charges into melee in this latest version. I assume the charger uses the normal charge dice available and is still able to melee...
I'm not sure which "latest version" you are talking about. There are essentially two versions (or variants) in the Groups Files Section. One is just playsheets...
Many thanks, Mitch, I was thinking of the TSAFT Napoleonic variant tables. Both come with a few notes, but the latest (in date) allows a unit to perform up to...
The three actions in Varient 10.12.05 was my attempt to sort out the whole reloading proceedure and account for the difference between rifles and muskets. If...

The end of the scenario contest is here and we have a grand total of FOUR scenarios...and I wrote two of them! Is there really no one out there who would add a...
I'm not sure what to say Rob. I thought we would get more input also. I would consider the contest null & void since its hardly worth it with only 4 entries....
