Hi Nigel, Safely received Napoleonic C&GII. Thanks. Have just started entering some OOBs and have a couple of questions re entering Artillery in the "Unit...
Nigel, I got around to loading the Wars of the Late Empire list files and looking at Borodino I found that the Russian artillery is listed as Six Sub-Units...
John, The simple answer would be 'both are correct'. The original intent was that a battery should be divisible into sections, each of two cannon. But about a...
Nigel, In regards to the number of personnel in a battery. How do you reflect that for instance the Old Guard Artillery being overmanned and still have 6 guns....
Don, I hate to say it but, that's exactly the type of case that seems to suggest that the number of guns should not be a factor of the number of men originally...
Thanks Nigel, that makes it clear. Who would have Heavy 12-pdrs and who would have Medium 12-pdrs? Cheers, John ... sections, each of two ... counting the guns...
John, I can't say I have a definitive answer for you on this one - but in my opinion the French 12 pdr would be considered heavy, the Austrian medium, and the...
Hi Nigel, Maybe not definitive but certainly comprehensive. Many thanks for that. It fits in with what I recall and saves me looking up lots of books. What...
John, I can't answer what effect the actual number of howitzers gives to a battery in the system, so I'll leave that for Nigel to respond. The primary effect ...
Paul, You have described exactly what the system simulates - and the number of howitzers engaged will increase the potential of a structure being set alight. ...
FYI, the Historicon Preliminary Event List (PEL) is now online. For details, go to www.historicon.org. Registration for the convention is also open. Carnage...
Nigel, Got a question as it's coming up in our games. If you have an infantry regiment (3 batts.) holding off a cavalry regiment with the 2 outer batts in...
Don, The simple answer to your question is the correct input is #2, where the cavalry inputs 33% against each square and the line. The system doesn't want you...
Nigel, I noticed that in the Austerlitz OOB on the CG2 website, that you listed Russian 12 gun batteries as 2 separate units with 6 guns each. Is there a...
Sean, It's really a matter of personal preference - certainly, on occasion, Russian batteries would operate in two wings, each of six guns. But I'm not...
Nigel, Never fails that I learn something new about the rules...your approach makes sense, but let me see if I completely understand. You allow three sides of...
David, When it comes to the cavalry column, imagine it similar to a wave breaking around a rock - no matter what, the cavalry will flow around the sides of the...
Nigel, ... breaking around a rock ... square, thus allowing a ... I guess that makes sense, but I would expect that if the front ranks of the column didn't...
David, A frontal attack by a cavalry unit had a very, very small chance of defeating a square. It would take enterprise and luck for the cavalry to be...
Hi Nigel In a previous post you had mentioned an interest in the ECW period is there a possibility of anything happening in that direction in the near future. ...
Nigel: Having said the below, if you had a 8 stand (2"x2" 25mm)/4 squadron cavalry unit ~480 troopers) how would you most realistically show them in column?...
John, The important thing to remember is that the system doesn't really care how the unit is represented on the table - it calculates the frontage of the unit,...

Guy, Thank you for your compliments regarding my programming skills. I have somewhat committed to writing a campaign system before I prepare any further ...
I thought it would be worthwhile making up a document that puts many of the rules questions into one place so I have uploaded a C&G errata file into the...
I am looking for guidance regarding certain ratings. War of Spanish Succession - Which battalions other than English had "battalion guns"? - What to put for...
Jim WSS I think a lot of this set-up comes from experience in using the rules.. I tend to omit battalion guns altogether, as I understand their use and...
Just a reminder that I will be hosting a Carnage and Glory AWI game (Oriskany 1777) at Historicon 2008 on Friday night. This is the latest event in a series...
FYI, I posted the following announcement to my WWI Trench Wars Yahoo Group. Since additional figures have been added to the sale, members of the Carnage and...
