Jan, I understand your train of thought, and why you question whether the Reglement and Rules and regulations were applied in field. I also collect French...
... Well, who would have thought that the French would be such douce, biddable wee lambs? :-) Thanks for your explanation, Art. You are a man who knows where...
... Interesting analogy in that several WWII memoirs I've read mention that the battle drills that they practised while training inEngland for several years ...
Ross, For the French; when enough evolutions and manoeuvres were found wanting, a new version of l'ordonnance would become available. the French had the...
Ross, One last thing which is just as important; Sometimes its possible to validate an author of a memoir, by using the regulations to determine if what he saw...
All While I have enjoyed the discussion on what tends to inform DESIGNER'S decision, and certainly understand the bias brought to this discussion by a ...
... Good question, and an important difference. I think that what spurs the vast majority of most impulses to tinker with rules is a feeling that something...
Interestingly, I came across this today while reading "Wellington's Belgian Allies" by Ronald Pawly. In light of recent discussions, I thought I'd pass it...
... I realise that, my point is that while the convention is to say the hell with what people thought they experienced, lets try and model what actually ...
... God question indeed, Being an inveterate tinkerer in the past, I can think of 4 reasons why I have dones so: 1) As stated above something I felt important...
... I would use the assault column formation delineated in the F&F Great Eastern Battles scenario book. I don't know (someone like Michael M. who's been...
Good Morning Jan, It would seem that Ronald Pawly has mis-translated the event which is written in French by Van Merlen. The Hussards had just left the road ...
Art, I rather doubt its a mistranslation. He goes on to describe a subsequent and separate action between the light dragoons and the French cavalry that took...
Jan, After serving 12 years in the French Army I hope that I can read French :-) Best Regards, Art ... subsequent ... cavalry that ... and ... properly ... ...
Art: Recalling some old comrades from the military, I am not sure that 12 years in the Canadian Army would be a guarantee that you spoke either French or...
Mon Vieux Pote, Merde alors, ca n'a pas d'importance, je suis baisse comme une petite con. Je ne peux pas gagner cette discussion n'est pas :-) De toute facon,...
I can only imagine what some might say about the flavour of French spoken by one of my friends, a retired officer of the Canadian army who grew up in Montreal...
And A Good Evening To You jan, When your wrong your wrong, and it hasn't been the first poxy time nor the last time :-) Indeed your right; Ronald Pawly has an...
... Hey, it takes an honest man to concede even a tactical defeat. :-) As I found at the conclusion of this afternoon's game of "Saratoga" (from GMT Games), in...
Hi Art, This discussion has proceded at a quicker pace than I have been able to keep up with this weekend. From a survey of the messages, I think Jan has hit...
Michael: Ross gave you four, no I mean three. It isn't any real mystery. 1. As Ross points out as others, even you: Game designers usually don't give what...
Good Day mark, You still have not convinced me that commanders just changed the Rules and Regulations when they felt the need to. As I mentioned earlier to...
... I think Michael was asking not "why do gamers fiddle with designs?", which Ross and I both addressed at length, but why there isn't more *discussion* of...
Ross/Bill thanks for your responses, they gibe (jibe?) substantially with what I'd understood about this, why things were done --Ross's post passed mine in the...
I've recently attempted to d/l and print the rules (AOE, AOH) from the website, plus some of the other contributions. By way of background, I had attempted to...
