Hi Barry, Light Chariot formations are restricted per the Campaign Musters they are found in. The movement charts list light and heavy chariots being able to ...
Hi Guys, I have a question about HG2. When using a grand battery it takes one pip to fire the grand battery. On that pip is the entire battery required to...
I guess you could, firing as a normal battery, no ups for grand battery, needs a pip and an artillery reload card to reload. If its tat good a target, why not...
I agree with you in what you stated below but in my mind the player has formed the unit as a single GRAND battery and so it should function as one unit. If...
Dear Victor, I have not played with the Piquet rules, but I have read them and I have used Chef de Piquet. I agree whole heartily with you. Once a grand...
Greetings gents. Sorry to be a pest but I wonder if i could seek your assistance/guidance regarding what I percieve as a discrepancy between the piquet system...
Dear Buckers, If you are getting flanked a lot...look to your tactics, you may be too aggressive in the movement of troops. Stick your head in a sack, it's...
Brent: Whew! You really don't like flank attacks! I purposely made it more difficult to achieve flank attacks in FoB. The arc and qualifying condition is...
Hi Ian, ... stream ... terrain ... I'll second Joe's and Brent's comments, in that this seems to me more a tactical issue than an PK/FOB rules issue. (Caveat:...
I definitely find FoB less prone to Flank attacks and those that do occur to be much less devastating than in standard Piquet. I also wonder about scenario...
Hi All. Feel that I need to support Ian here regarding too many flank attacks, but I think that they occur more frequently in FOB for different reasons. By...
Thanks to everyone for their thoughts. I will take on board the various suggestions (special thanks to "Crissie")and see what I can learn. I should mention I...
Hi Guys, Well my group and I played a great game of Austrians vs. Italians in 1859 tonight. We managed to put a few divisions on the table for each side. We...
... Brent: It doesn't automatically destroy the routing unit - it would need to melee it to cause casualties. The pursuing unit keeps pursuing until rallied,...
Hi Ian, I'm curious -- how big is your table and how many units per side do you play (and what scale)? I haven't experienced the flank attack problems you...
Hi all, I ran two Napoleonic Field of Battle games at Origins this past weekend. The games went well with the allies winning a decisive victory in the first...
... Ian, my questions would mirror Todd's somewhat. I've extensively played BOB and BOBII, and dabbled with POA, Barrage, DOB, and recently solo with FOB. So...
Sorry Tod and KBaggs to take this long to respond (shift worker). Table size: Usually 6 x 4 table, my own is 4 x 3. We often play with single stand artillery...

Awesome Patrick! Looks like you rebased since the last time I saw these figures. I like the 16 figure units. - Eric ... From: Piquet@yahoogroups.com...
G'day Ian, I find this a very interesting thread. I can see your point that there may be too many flank attacks. I go back and forth on this one. You certainly...
Although I tend to agree with most of the replies to your problem, I do have a couple of niggles about PK flanks, especially regarding cavalry and the...
Thank you for the comments. I will be running this game at Historicon, with at least 4 more units. Eric, I sold all those figs last spring, replaced them with...
James, How do you work around a failed pursuit roll with your house rules? After reading this thread since it started I'm going to chime in here. Maybe its my...
Victor, your game description is typical for me. It seems when someone goes for flank arttacks, they often expose themselves to retalitory flank attacks....
