Forgive my impatience (havent received my rules yet) are there options to garrison strong points such as La Haye Sainte etc?? DC [Non-text portions of this...
Jan: I am not sure if you are doubting the content of the two quotes or wondering whether I have made them up:-) Foy's comes from his History of the Peninsular...
By "assuming they are correct" I didn't mean I thought you had invented them. :-) I meant "assuming the Napier and Foy were correct in their estimation of the...
Mark: Foy's comments are on the British discipline and ability to "preserve their original formation better." There is nothing about the destructive power of ...
Hello Bill, As we have discussed this subject in great detail in the past I think that we know each others thoughts on the matter and they are not really very...
Jan: I wasn't really attempting to analyse Foy's remarks. As you say, they are very general but, after all, wargames rules that cover brigade level combat over...
Mark: It was 'better directed and more destructive". I can agree IF we are talking about the two things that the British did do: 1. Held fire more often until...
Did the British Infantry not fire in a slightly different way? Was it not a type of platoon based volley and therefore maintained constant fire on the target...
Bill: If you look at the origins of this particular thread I was suggesting that British troops should only gain a firepower advantage in the rules when in...
I checked Warflag and can't find any standards for British Cavalry. Suggestions? Michael Brown mwsaber6@... [Non-text portions of this message have been...
Mark: yes, I guess I did miss that. Thanks. However, I think that forcing the French to fall for that tactic all the time, while being unable to use the same...
Mike, Cotton Jim has a complete line of British flags for purchase and I think you can buy them via his Website. As regards the response on Warflag, if by...
So, if I scale down the Infantry Standards no one should complain. I'm getting to the stage where I have all the British, Spanish and French painted, based...
... Bear in mind that dragoons, as opposed to Horse, have swallow-tailed guidons rather than square standards. I'd do some research IIWY: it's a pity to lose...
I think you will find the British cavalry standards were quite different to the Infantry Kings and Regimental flags. They tended to be crimson with regimental...
I'm not sure I follow, but the design for British cavalry standards was completely different from that of the infantry. They looked nothing like each other. ...
Indeed so. Se (http://www.rofur-flags.de/hat_info/hat_8036_flags.htm). The small colours in the top right-hand corner are cavalry standards. The others are...

Mostly I'm looking because there is a standard bearer in the packs of Cavalry I'm painting. I could just as easily paint it as a bare staff. Michael Brown ...
I live in Frisco, TX North of Dallas--I bought the rules and I am building 6mm Peninsula armies. Not an expert but have pushed figures around trying to learn...
We've had a gaming group in the DFW area for the past 20+ years. We've dabbled with AoE but nothing serious at this point. We probably could be kick started if...
You might want to keep http://www.thewarroom.com/ in mind. This is run by some great folks and they have a wide range of games that are played. I was ...

DC, Forgive my tardiness but I am crashing and burning for Historicon where I will be presenting two AOE/AOH games. In general, so long as at least half the...

It is my understanding that a Russian horse battery was made up of 12 guns, but common practice was to divide the battery in half when in action. So for the...
