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...

... It seems to be a hard thing to get right in rules. I played some games of Might & Reason. If you charge a light battalion in close terrain you will most...
Mike, I take your point about the use of light troops for specific purposes - at this period light troops did have a different role to the regular line, and it...
Vincent, I like the idea of offering irregular troops an advantage when fighting within disruptive terrain, to take account of their special skills and...
Good idea Doug. Building on this I was wondering if Nigel could make "evade" a formation option when charged. It would also incur some fatigue and it would...
Hi Nigel, It sounds like there are many exciting changes coming our way. I would like to summarize what has been discussed so far and share it with my group....
Mike, You've summed up the modifications perfectly: 1. British Two-Rank Order formation will be added. Formation is between Close Order Line and Open Order. 2....
Thanks Vincent. That is interesting. The game mechanism i was referring to is in the Napoleonic system. It assumes that all units that are at full strength...
Nigel. I am well pleased with the changes. One more for consideration. 3b. Open order troops get a slight improvement in fire effect vs. other open order or...
... According to the author of that book, yes, But he seemed unaware that Howe instituted an open two-rank formation which sounds like exactly the same thing...
Nigel, I think the upgrades you've proposed look great. Hopefully you can get them into the system in time for me to use the upgraded system at Cold Wars in...
This is snipped from Greg Novak's post on the Volley and Bayonet group. " Von Steuben's drill regulations (from a 1779 copy) state that "a company is to be...

They arrived in the mail yesterday. Perhaps I'll get them installed this week, though I also need to build a bookcase for the ever-growing mountain of books......
I entered Prussians, Austrians and French ar,y lists. Now I decided to create two small test army lists, one infantry brigade each to run a small game for...
Are you printing them as an army list, or Order of Battle? I never have problems printing the OOB, but I have printed some army lists where they were ...
Hi all, Colonial Sudan is now the only collection I have that I can not play C&G with. I was wondering if anyone had made use of C&G colonials and how you...
