It is clear that those that responded to my note do not understand it. For now, I will let it drop. I just can't overcome those limitations in this forum. ... ...
Sorry Adam. I hope my response wasn't inappropriate. Regards, Bill Gray _____ From: Adam Rausch [mailto:rausch36@...] Sent: Wednesday, October 01, 2003...
FWIW, I just started the integration process for the first chapter "Mustering Your Forces" (or whatever we call it) and two things: 1. Having the original BOFF...
... Adam, As one of those who responded, I hope my response was not misunderstood or considered rude... I have known Bill Gray for many years, so I know he ...
Bill You're right, my Beresford ref comes from Albuera. All those names that end in vowels are so confusing. I should have known better, but it seems as ...
Can anyone help with regards to the colour of the horse furniture (shabraque etc.) of the Portugese Dragoon regts in the Peninsular? I've been looking high and...
Mike, First, don't consider me an expert on the war in Spain. It's the least favorite of my interests in this era. I read a couple of accounts of the battle on...
Bill and Michael, What might make this scenario interesting is having the Brits set up first historically and then the French set up second anywhere they ...
I have a couple of illustrations of these lads, one from Osprey, the other from Napoleon's War in Spain by Lachouque, Tranie, et al. Both show them mounting...
About all I can add, is an officer figure in Vol 4 of the Elting / Knotel books which shows black sheepskin covering for the pistols, but a square cloth...
Yup and I'll do the same. As I noted before, Spain is the least favorite part of the Napoleonic period for me, so I'm not nearly as familiar with a Fuentes as...
This is a topic that has had some airing recently and I thought I would add my conclusions to the debate. I will only consider the Frederican period as my...
In the Napoleonic Association's booklet "The Portuguese Regular Army 1806-1814" by Richard Howard there is the following information: "A plain black sheepskin...
Everyone, The Colonel(our fearless egroup leader!) was kind enough to allow an interview for our group's wargaming magazine. The three page interview covers a...
Tim, First person accounts of the Portugese cavalry performance in the Peninsula were not kind. The infantry on the other hand toward the end of the period...
I classified them as mediums, with few exceptions (Lusitanian Legion Dragoons, while very small, seem to have done decently). My reasoning for the medium...
I am somewhat unhappy at the idea of order of play switching so that there may be a number of double moves. I presume that the idea behind this is that the...
Tim, We've played AOE several times and have seen no ill effects from this part of the game. As a commander, however, you need to be constantly upgradig your...
Tim, I'm with Matt on this 100%. It has less to do with any "genius" (or lack thereof) of the respective commanders, and more to do with fostering a level of...
Bill, Not possible. My note was to you and you responded. I should have kept it off forum. It is not so much that there is a limit to our intelligence, as that...
[Bill, I began this email (everything below this paragraph) several weeks ago, after reading your Updates post of around 8/21/03, I think. With the recent ...
Good points all - I'll see that these are properly addressed in the final version of AOE. I'll also have a look this weekend to see if I can offer some...
Gents, I've just returned from the MOAB (Mother-of-all-Battles) 2003 Convention held down on the south side of Sydney - its' the premier historical miniatures...
Not to mention those wonderful Seven Years War Teddy Bears - maybe not very gamesworthy, but great figures - they also make good presents if your mother- ...
I think that many good points were raised here. The exception would be the unit size concern, which you would have to distort historical reality and turn the...
