Tom, I think you're missing Jan's point here. There is indeed a loss of morale that can lead to these other things. One book that might be of use is Embattled...
Allan, I fear I'm missing something. What is V&C? cheers, Jan On Wed, Jul 1, 2009 at 5:10 AM, Allan F ... -- *********************************** Jan W. S....
Oh, Volley and Cannonade, duh! *smacks self in head* I always just think of it as the fire table... ... -- *********************************** Jan W. S. Spoor ...
OK, now that I'm being slightly less clueless. No, I don't think the issue is to reduce the granularity of losses from fire. I don't think we're seeing too...
Jan Perhaps I wasn't clear enough. The suggestion I made would yield casualties at a lower FP in cases when the present rules do not, but without having to...
... FnF/AoE does have the mechanism in the form of the Fresh/Worn/Spent, it's just directly connected to stand loss. You could disconnect without having book...
Hmmm, funny I routinely run Shako2 games using the actually battalions. In fact I will be running a Talvera game with the historic battalions represented...
-Tom, Bill, Jan et al An example of Cohesion Hits in a brigade level game I am sure some of you will remember the Yaquinto board game called the Great Redoubt...
I think the current casualty system in AOE covers this just fine. Not all of the hits, as discussed, reflect KIA/WIA; there's obviously some difference of...
Hi Jan, If I read you correctly your issue is if two brigades of equal size fight head to head they can push each other back and forth for 12 hours (24 turns)...
Hi Bill, Possible Errata There is a difference on the map and the order of battle (pages 14 and 15). The French 25th LC brigade is on order of battle and not...
Lloyd I am glad it works for you.? Based upon my experience, limited as I will admit it is, Shako could work for a smaller battle, though what it appears to...
Again, I think you are mixing up scales. Just because someone called Shako2 a battalion level game does not make it a game ABOUT battalions. Shako uses...
Hi, Richard. Thanks for adding that great post with the definitions. It levels the playing field! In a message dated 7/2/2009 3:36:12 A.M. Mountain Daylight...
Rich, I'll get back with you later this weekend. My wife Paula had scheduled surgery today to have her thyroid removed, and I just got back from the hospital....
Dear Mr. Gray, You and your bride will be included in my nightly prayers. God Speed a quick recovery...getting old does suck. Sincerely, Jim Sullivan San...
Hi Bill, No rush to answer - you have your priorities right. I am happy everything went well and hope for a speedy recovery for your wife Paula. Take care,...
Hi peeps I have a pot of Miniature Paints "scarlet" but am very unhappy with the coverage. Can anyone recommend a brand for this difficult to get right colour...

Hi Tom, Thanks for the explanation of your processes on cohesion `hits'. I think I have grasped the fundamentals even though algebra is not my strong point!...
Tamiya paint didnt even realise they were still available in the UK. When they first came out they were total rubbish I reember that first time round. Using...
