Actually, Larry, per the deffinition of CONDITIONAL HOLD (p. 34, JR III rule book), you CAN change CHARGE to CH. The only orders that you cannot change to CH...

Good point Scott, I think, historically, our group has tended toward the 2" cost (p.51), but more recently I've tended to use a 1" cost. I think that I've...

Well James, you asked for my thoughts... 1. I'm having a bit of a problem visualizing just what you are talking about with your basing. Are all your bases the...

Ok I worked up the basing over the last few days. I am going to have to double 15mm base sizes and at least 1/4 inch. Artillery is going to have to be much...
Ok I am having a senior moment here. I am working on ground scale and the Gettysburg layout using the McElfresh maps and Scott Mingus' Enduring Valor series of...
Greetings all, I would be grateful for some input on the number of flags you use for each unit under JR. I just finished a Confederate unit in shell ...
Only on very few occassion did Confederate units carry two flags, despite what you see on most wargame tables, it would be an army, corps or departmental flag...
There certainly were exceptions George, but as the war dragged on I believe the one flag protocol took precedence. At the beginning of the war each company...
Also, from a gaming standpoint, I feel JR units are usually too small for numerous flags to look very good. An exception to this is having a national and a...
Very early in the war, some Confederate units did carry additional flags beyond the national standard. These included some surviving examples of separate...
