Another senario that caused some discussion last night. A landsknecht pike block hit a battle mass of heavy horse in the flank. The horse still managed to win...
Good grief, 3,000 figures!!! Are you playing straight FOB? Or do you modify things for the size of engagement/game? Approx. what number of command groups do...

In this case, the PB is attacking another unit, not itself a PB or Tercio, in the flank. Thus, the overall resolution of the melee is like any other flank...
Hi Al, Yes, we will play (more or less) straight FoB. Each player (7 per side) will command a Corps, although if we have more players, some might command part...
I've posted the scenario I found for Galipoli in the files. Titled Turkish Delight by the original author, Darryl Smith, I made the notes to modify it for PoA...
... Thanks, Peter. This is as we thought, but we missed out the bit about the cavalry not being able to harm the attackers! Sorry to bombard you with so many...
For a Morale Challenge, the die type rolled will be determined by the *actual* stands lost. The *modifier* for lost stands will be as per the pike Block...
3000 figures, wow! Good luck with running something that size. I would need heavy doses of medication to GM that monster. Where will your games be played? Mike...
I never know where my games will be until I get there and read the program! We *asked* to have the same table or area for mall our games, but no response to...
The new member of the Piquet.com forum, just going by the screen name "tu", has left what appears to be more spam on over a dozen threads. All in what looks...
Thanks for the info Peter, fascinating stuff! Look forward to seeing the pics. I will see if we can plan the nuptials or an associated visit accordingly, would...
In all seriousness, for a wargames fanatic, a trip to US incorporating Historicon is a pretty good idea. The general area (either Baltimore or Lancaster) has...
I confess to having made the trip myself in 2006 (from Australia) as part of a 50th Birthday outing. I enjoyed HCon and the side attractions Peter mentions...
57 pics from some of the playtest games for Raszyn, Teugen-Hausen, Eggmuhl, Aspern-Essling, and Wagram. Look in the Hofkreigsrat folder. We've really had fun...
Following discussion on 'opportunity' square. Walk: Roughly 3-4 MPH. A pleasure show horse can go as slow as 2 mph. Gaited horses-- who do not trot-- can do a...
"My conclusion. If you are not in square when cavalry move to within 1 move distance - YOU ARE TOO LATE!" But what of the imponderables inherent in, and...

I missed last year due to my 3rd child being born and have been quiet on the list (and everywhere else wargaming related) lately, but I plan on being there...
Hey Andy! First, late congratulations on the addition to the family. They do get in the way of gaming, don't they? :-) Family is forever, though. And even ...
I won't be at Hcon this year - first time in ...? I don't know how long! I need a break from the show as it has become a bit too routine for me. I'm wishing...
... Hi Peter, Of course, if there is a break in initiative which allows you to form square then that is great. But, the thread was aimed at rule changes...
