Hi, In our game last night we had the following situation. A Union unit declared a charge on a Confederate unit that had a disengage order. As per the sequence...
Rick, This will definitely be a disputed issue among JRIII gamers...good luck! The rules regarding a charge indicates that a unit must charge the "most...

In all the convention games I have played, including ones GM'ed by John Hill, a charging unit chases the disengaging unit. The sequential phases are a way to...

Jerry, You are absolutely right in the following assumtion; "You must not have played much Johnny Reb III in your many years of gaming" As I have probably...
Hi All, I've been doing some searches through past posts looking for threads on terrain scale and line-of-site rulings. Those searches provided a few...
Gentlemen, Thank you very much for the replies relating to my charge question. There is certainly food for thought there. I think that our group will go with...
I ALWAYS overload my terrain with fields, fences, rolling hills, etc. as much as the historical situation calls for (particularly those eatern battles) as it...
Ok I was talking to a guy today and do not have a game set up so I have to go to the group. How do you handle movement from open to broken, woods or rough? For...
No matter how a rule is written I always translate it to cost per inch. So clear is 1 rough is 2 woods i s 4 etc. So a unit in line crosses 2 inches in broken...
I have always had difficulty with the same issue...especially when it comes to the "normal" movement during the charge phase that is interrupted by either...
... ....Scott, I think the reason we've ended up without much terrain is because the gentlemen's house we typically play at uses a flat terrain board. Each...
Myself and some of the guys I game with have been painting up some 15mm AWI figures. We're doing this with the intent of using them in 1-10 scale games. We...

Robert, Thanks for the reply! I'm not seeing a Word doc. Was it the Johnny Tremaine doc from the files section? If so, I'm got a copy of that. My intent is...
To continue the explanations in Final Argument of Kings regarding LOS, here's another explanation in that rules set: 0.4. VISIBILITY 0.4.1. LINE OF SIGHT If...
In previous posts, that issue was dealt with and discused ad nauseum. The majority concensus was that the way to go was to consolidate the smaller units until...
Just one thing to add, Todd, on the CHARGE scenario. One of the Continentals' artillery batteries did not make it on the map, although it is on the OOB and is...

Hello all, In last nights game we had a disordered unit that was charged on the rear from within 4 inches so there was no time to attempt to form. Our question...
Actually, I am somewhat of a different sorta bird. I mount Elite troops 3 to a stand, Veteran 4, Green 5 and militia 6 (increasing the stand by 1/4" for each...
