Sir, I see you are feeling recovered enough to order counterbattary fire. Sixpounder ... From: salotraz To: carnageandglory2@yahoogroups.com Sent: Friday,...
Nigel, we did a playtest of a game we are planning on running at Little Wars in April, the Battle of Lobositz in the Seven Years War. We only played the...
Ed, It is entirely possible for an apparently unengaged unit, with low morale, and a poor commanding general to receive an adverse reaction during the end of...
The croats are Irregular Veterans, their commanding officer Ordinary capable -, I don't remember seeing any message saying their officer had failed morale,...
Nigel, we have had a couple of things come up recently that I would like some comments on. In a recent Napoleonic battle, we had Cossacks "pursue" French...
Doug, If a unit receives a pursuit instruction during the end of turn phase, it must be moved in an attempt to re-engage their last opponent. The unit is not...
Doug, The pursuit move would be equal to the normal charge move distance. As the pursuit is essentially a 'hack', there is no requirement for defensive fire....
Is there any reduced effectiveness of a staff officer who is directly reporting to a corps commander but not in a unit's direct line of command trying to rally...
Ed, Staff officers do not take on the qualities of their commanding officers [just because he's dressed like Murat, doesn't make him Murat! - if you know what...
Hello Nigel, Are you talking about the officer's rank or how he is assigned in an OB? In other words, if we assign a Feldmarshal Leutnant to a corps as "staff"...
Mark, You're correct, rank and command status are different. My inititial explanation was regarding command, and not rank. What I was proposing was that if...
Nigel Grateful for some clarification: A Column of infantry declared a charge against infantry in line, at the same time a Light Cavalry at the rear of the...
If a unit move backwards 75 paces does that mean it has not moved more than 75 paces when it comes to fire combat? Thought is as the move is the units entire...
Peter, Clarification on Charge Sequence: The situation you describe is all about pro-rating movement. Also it's controlled by army initiative. I see no reason...
Ed, Correct, the 75 pace movement to the rear is equal to a full 300 pace movement forward in line or 425 pace forward column movement. Same goes for the side...
Hmmm, my bad - obviously the battalion guns should increase the points - it's something I'll need to modify in future releases - thanks for pointing this out....
OK, can you tell me what the typical points should be for a battalion gun? Currently our scenario for Lobositz has the Prussians much higher than the Austrians...
Just wanted to let the group know that a we are running a large SYW C&G II game at this years Little Wars event. Little Wars is HMGS Midwest chapter convention...
Nigel, We are hoping to put together a small regimental scale Iberian Penninsular game in a couple of weeks. Have a question in using British rifles &...
Stephen, Rather than having your rifle units based differently from the other regular troops, I suggest that they are mounted on bases of equal size to the...
Up to now, battery strength has been directly linked to the number of cannon served. The basic formula used was that one cannon would be crewed by 25 men. This...
Nigel, I definitely like the ability to have odd numbers of guns in batteries to complete historical rosters when needed. I would be interesting to eliminate...
... I have always felt a bit uncomfortable when re-fighting an historical engagement in not having the ability to accurately reflect the actual number of guns...
For those attending Cold Wars this weekend, the Carnage and Glory games and gamemasters, as listed in the on line Preliminary Event List (www.hmgs.org), are as...
