Nigel, Sounds like a reasonable solution...giving more options is always a good thing...hope you can get that modification done in time for Cold Wars...I just...
Hi Nigel, I was just reviewing your description of the use of open order troops. You suggest the primary purpose is to defend difficult terrain features on...
Ed, I'm sure that the tech-heads at Microsoft could integrate the software of C&GII and MS Excel - but I have to admit it's a little beyond my talents. But in...
All, I've just uploaded to the Files/Napoleonic Stuff, two excel files. One has ID tags suitable for 25/28mm figures, the other suitable for 15mm figures. ...
Chris, Troops in open order [or perhaps we should now refer to it more as 'extended' order] would still be at a grave disadvantage if attempting to combat a...
Thanks Nigel. That makes sense and conforms with my experience so far. Assuming regular light troops who can form in either closed or open order, what...
Chris, Troops in open or extended order should never be considered the equivalent of close order troops. They would not have been expected to hold up before a...
Just a reminder to gamemasters, the deadline to submit games for the Preliminary Event List for Cold Wars 2008 is December 14, 2007. (For details go to...
Planning on a 15mm game Friday evening. Leaning towards Saltanovka from 1812. The first game that I ran at a convention and played with Andy Z. John...
Guys: I plan on running something from either AWI or the War of 1812. Not sure which yet, but either was I am looking at Saturday around 2:00pmish to run it. ...
I've scheduled a Napoleonic game for Saturday at 10AM. I plan to run the battle of Bar-sur-Aube from the 1814 campaign. French veterans from Spain opposed to...
Saltanovka is in for Friday evening. Also put in a Plancenoit scenario to use my 25's for Saturday evening after Nigel's game. John Snead ... Saltanovka ... ...
John, Sorry, but my wife and I moved to North Carolina in August. Then I had to give my computer to my daughter for college. So there went all of my email ...
Being a new member I thought I should introduce myself. My name is Guy Fawcett and reside in the Edmonton area of Northern Alberta, Canada. Yes its winter, yes...
Guy, I also have a Computer Stategies system. 'Great Powers' We have used for Crimean and wars in Mexico. Alamo, Mex-Am and Maximillian conflicts. C&G systems...
I have sims from both. I believe C&G to be superior. The one thing I noticed on CS was that there appeared to be a lack of randominzation on combat results. I...
Thanks for the replies:-). I have decided to pick up C&G for the Seven Years War. Are there any hints on using C&G for the SYW in North America (aka French and...
Hello Guy - I have just received a copy of "Iron Duke" from CS - haven't even loaded it on the PC yet. What do you think of the one you have? Larry in Kansas,...
Hi Larry I have an old version of Iron Duke(v4) that I only played about 3 times, the game had poor documentation a problem I've also noticed on my latest...
Hello folks. I'm contemplating getting C&G. You think I can run a four or five person game and still play? I sure don't want to always be the GM. I've been...
... In Europe it is probably right to assume crappy troops shoot poorly. In the New World some of these folks hunt for food. While they might be very unsteady,...
... Hi Vincent: Welcome to the group. Your comments inspired me to revisit some questions I have around light infantry (open order) It appears that the open...
Mike, Over the holidays I sat down and began the process of incorporating the British two-rank Order formation to the system. This also forced me to review the...
Vincent, Welcome to the group! The system incorporates multiple weapon types to reflect the basic firearms available to the various armies. Each weapon...
... I shall have to root around. I don't say Steuben instituted it, just that he left well enough alone and didn't change it. The only case I know of where...
... Thank you! Do you think I could incorporate my heretical ideas about movement into C&G? The program would not care if units had moved further than strictly...
Thank you Nigel for listening and keeping an open mind. If you are increasing the fire capabilities of open order formation you will be making me happy. An...
Sure! The computer does not manage "normal" movement so I think you could have your way with it. Additionally you might require such units to change to or be...
