Sorry if this has already been asked and I missed it. If a supported line formation is created by two units (or more, but for simplicity's sake let's stick to...
Yes. Cavalry may NOT support infantry and vice versa. Its on page 53, top left column under Support and Breakthrough. Some of the questions you raise are part...
Thanks! I hadn't explored whether such a formation might be historically justified; it only just occurred to me this morning as part of a different discussion....
Hello I've just ordered the rules. Waiting for them... So I'm basing my Perry miniatures, 4 figs to a stand. What about brigades skirmishers screens : I tried...
Philippe, no need to base skirmishers separately. The presence of skirmish screens is an abstraction in the rules using fire modifiers and rating troop...
Phillippe, Your English is just fine! Much better than my mauvais Français. :-) Skirmishers are not represented in AOE by separate stands. If an entire ...
Well, your English is a lot better than my French . . . In AOE it is not necessary to mount tirailleurs for skirmish capable infantry brigades on separate...
What do you call someone who speaks two languages? Bilingual. What do you call someone who speaks many languages? Multilingual. What do you call someone who...
Thank you very much for your very clear answers. To represent skirmish screens in an abstract fashion is a very good idea....especially for painters. But I...
My housemates just got back from a trip to Switzerland. Not a whole lot of people they met (there spoke English though some did). Of course, since Switzerland...
Phillipe, great idea! It's a good way to designate those brigades that are "skirmish" capable. For even more detail, you could vary the figure density for...
Speaking of Skirmishers...... While Bill's rules are great for size and scope. Does anyone know of any rules that handle Napoleonic skirmish level game? I...
Thank you Bill Scott Ippolito ... From: NapoleonicFireandFury@yahoogroups.com [mailto:NapoleonicFireandFury@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of Colonel (Ret) Bill...
Try "Once Upon a Time in the Western Peninsula" pub Partizan Press. I feel it is "a jolly good ruleset" and worth a go. I think its available at OMM (On...
In the LOTRvariants chat group, there is a variant for Napoleonic skirmish. If you are at all familiar with the "Lord of the Rings" or "Legends of the Old...
... That's a pretty broad and convoluted premise: we should ignore standard doctrinal tactics because there's no evidence they *weren't* used? ... Possibly,...
Wow! I am in total agreement with you about having my fill of this topic. What amazes me is that so many posting on this thread feel this issue of dismounted...
Now Bill, be fair and don't lead him astray. Chef does not try to be a skirmish game. It tries to have the player operate a few battalions (what goes on...
Actually I was hoping to sucker him into it, given the grief he always gives me at OMM :). Regards, /// Bill /// Wilbur E. Gray Colonel, US Army (Ret) ... Now...
... No, reread what I said. I said that often the recommendations of manuals were ignored. Have you been in the military and done other than what the...
... topic. What amazes me is that so many posting on this thread feel this issue of dismounted dragoons is of vital importance in a brigade- level ruleset....
Oh trust me I know Bill enough.....He was just returning the favor of all the times I bust his chops at the Cons. Funny thing I completely forgot about Once...
haha! The only real grief I give you is having to work during the times you run your games at the Cons.... I only get to be a spectator for those excellent...
Mickey, I'm afraid I have to agree with John here. I think you are substantially overstating the case. Nobody has indicated they've "had their fill", nor...
Really Kerry? Let me quote Dan, who I was responding to: "I haven't been reading this thread recently because I've had my fill of dismounted French dragoons." ...
Just a quick rule check. Does the Cavalry target of a Cavalry Breakthrough charge get to countercharge? I’m playing Bailen and The French are smacking the...
