Is this answer for when the cavalry is in contact with the artillery? If so I see the logic, as the whole brigade and attached artillery are now fighting. But...
... Yep, they fire if Bayonet and sabre will follow later in the turn - i.e enemy in contact with the leading rank or within 1" of it. ... Casualties on the...
Strictly speaking, the base of artillery blocks LOS and therefore firing of units behind it for normal shooting. If you are firing artillery then you shouldn't...
Aliex; I agree with you. I actually got started useing blocks/counters as a cheap way of trying out a rules set without spending alot of money building an...
Some inf units were near the crest line, some behind it. Not far enough behind it for the cav to recover any speed or impetus though when they came up. The...
... Actually, iirc the rules say that batteries may be aligned with the brigade. The only imperative is that a base edge touches the infantry - and an ...
This is a very useful section of the rules, and Im just posting this to ask Bill if he has thought of specifying Linear, columnar or impulse2/impulse3...
OK ... just starting the system (have experience with F&F) and have ordered figures to partake in an opening scenario with honor students at our school. Can...
Another question about molds and the period. It appears the BH flag bearers all have eagles atop the pole. Was this done above the flag? I know Napoleon issued...
Richard I like the idea sounds good I'll give it a whirl. Its certainly relevant for Brit deployments, guns to the front and Lines deployed out of sight over...
All of my Old Glory Cavalry came with standard bearers. I think that flags add to the look of things. I may be a heretic, but I paint my trumpeters like...
One might add to the forming square voluntarily - if cavalry are within the magical 5" range the infantry may voluntarily form square - this might break up the...
This isn't really a standard bearer recommendation, but a suggestion based on how I do my command stands. For divisions (and brigades for other rules) I put a...
Now I am no expert on this, but as I recall the first issue of Eagles was one per battalion in 1804, and the Eagle itself was intended as the symbol of of the...
When issued in 1804, every line and light infantry battalion, cavalry squadron, and IIRC ship-of-the-line received an Eagle. This Eagle was mounted on a blue...
Old Glory usually have two standard bearers and two trumpeters in packs of sixteen figures. Their Hussars are not in the tall shako that was officially ordered...
A short timeline on the Eagles: 1804: Originally isssued - 13 Eagles issued to the old guard, 560 Eagles issued total. One Eagle issued per battlalion/squadron...
Sorry I didn't get back to you on this sooner. . . Both the Zastrow and Leib Cuirassier Regiments were present for the Dresden campaign. They were brigaded...
Depending on what period, not all battalions carried Eagles. Eventually, only the senior battalion did. For the Russian campaign especially, the other...

I believe that, after 1808, the standard bearers were uniformed in a similar fashion whether or not their standard had the Eagle on top Michael Rieder ... ...
Well, we may not make Fall In, but we are almost 95% finished now that I have all the maps from Rich. So far its 73 pages and here is the layout - Title page -...

Additionally I would strongly recommend that you reserve a park supplied live tour guide to accompany you at Gettysburg. They are great. Ususally need...
Last weekend I ran a game of Borodino at the Tactical Solutions convention in Spokane, Washington. This was the convention's first year, and all games were...
Had a great game on weekend, but came up with a query. Can foot who break through, charge cavalry if it is the only valid target in range, or do they have to...
