A weekend ago, Greg, Jason, Barry and I ran Eylau and Ramillies at the Los Angeles Gamex convention using the Fire and Fury variants. I posted the pics in 6mm...
Hi, And you call yourself a wargamer:) Looks lovely what company are those figures and have you altered the basing? Cheers Jesper ... Fra: boyinblue12000...
Thanks. The figures are Baccus. They are based for 15mm scale. 1" by 1" for cav and Anglo-Dutch infantry. 7/8" by 1" for French infantry. Dave ... the...
Basing it that way sure does make for an impressive visual display. Talk about serried ranks of bayonets . . . . Warmest regards, // Bill // Wilbur E. Gray ...
I also want to thank Marc for his camera work. Very impressive. Dave was supposed to bring his, but his brain was otherwise preoccupied by his "hot" date. If...
Dear list members, after playing AOE for quite a while, we have just realized that we do not understand one of the instances of a fire point modifier: +1 To...
Hi, From what I read in the rules this has to do with Cavalry and Artillery maneuver modes (BOFF page 24-25) Cavalry can be one of two modes Dismounted or...
hi for Roberto Ferrara I think you are italian,i am of Bologna,and you? We can talk sometimes,I am interested to talk ,and if possible ,to see how it works. ...
Dead on the money correct, Jesper. Regards, Bill Gray ... Artillery ... mode ... result if ... do not ... changing ... facing, but do ... movement ... (don't...

Hi, Yes to the Cavalry it has no bearing in AOE. Concerning artillery try this movement sequence A's Limbered battery = LA A's Unlimbered battery = A A's...
Correct again. I retained the Movement Mode modifier in AOE even tho dragoons can't dismount primarily to make it consistent with AOH where they can...
Dear All, I have listed for your review several items on eBay, including Foundry Cossacks and Vikings, Front Rank SYW Prussian Grenadiers, Eureka highlanders,...
OK, now I understand why we overlooked it until now :-). Given that we have not yet started using AoH and never saw happening what Jesper describes , we will...
Fighting15s kindly sent me a set of samples of Eureka's British infantry in Belgic shako. Designed to be compatible with AB (at 17-18mm) these are very, very...
Another question that arised yesterday during a refight of Salamanca. The French brigade of dragoons charged a limbered battery that was adjacent to a...
I personally think your solution makes good sense. The Battalions on the threatened flank assumed square, offering the Battery some cover, and the Dragoons...
Jim & Roberto, Here is my official interpretation, though I agree with Jim in that your solution does make sense. I could certainly live with it during a game....
Well said, Gentlemen, 3 cheers for Bill. Hip…Hip…Hurray…Hurray…Hurray Jesper Introduction Welcome to one of the most anticipated events in historical...

Hi, BOFF page 44; Incidental stands are only counted for determining size of the defending force, they can't suffer losses, disorder or retreat results ...
Well, the way to avoid this is to make sure your batteries are attached to infantry brigades. Unattached artillery batteries have the advantage of being...
Yes, you're probably right, I missed this point. It anyway seems to me a bit odd that doing the same action (charging a line composed mainly of infantry and...
Good point. Unsupported batteries, especially in the open, had a hard time of it facing determined infantry - at least in the ACW, the Confederates lost a few...
Roberto, First, Jesper is correct. That is where my interpretation came from. And to clear up a misconception, I wasn't passing any sort of judgement as...
Thanks, I would say that with the contribution of the list now the matter is much clearer for me. We essentially were overlooking the role of incidental stands...
I've been lurking in the backgound of the group for a while now, watching the progress of the rules and the time has come for action. As usual with my projects...
Well, after what seems an awfully long time talking about it, we had our first AoE game last weekend - Fuentes de Onoro (French win) followed by Sorauren on...
Knew that would get your attention. I see a few NF&F events in the PEL. Altogether there are over 540 events in the PEL. It should be a great Historicon. On...
