From the latest edition of Charge ! ASK JOHN HILL! Q: When do units marked Hold resolve their fire attacks? Can they be resolved prior to the fire aftacks of...
God help us from rules lawyers and those that cannot ever admit to being wrong..... Does John Hill have to personally come to you and hold your hand? He...

I will be in Philadelphia for three days next week and am interesting in finding a good war game store. I am looking for 6mm ACW and other stuff. Anyone have...

Randy, There are not any decent game stores in the Philly area for anything historical. Will you be in town Nov 8&9, Fri and Sat? The Fall In convention is...
Rats! I will not arrive until the 13th and then will only be in Phily until the 15th. Back throug on the 26th. Interim in Quincy, Ill. and Washington, DC (the...
Are you driving between cities? If so, consider hitting the Gettysburg Miniature Soldiers shop, at the intersection of Emmitsburg and Taneytown roads. The...
I grew up playing JR1 and graduated to the other versions, and I (and the other players) always believed that whatever version of the rules, Hold fires came...
Too bad you are going to miss Fall In! I do not think Heritage Studios is doing conventions these days so no one will be there who carry 6mm on a regular...
It's not a problem with JR III, except for one particularly stubborn individual who insists on reading it improperly. Hold is played just as you, John Hill,...
I agree Hold fires are declared after First Fires and before Moving Fires. The question is when to resolve the fire attack. In JR1 it is VERY CLEAR. Hold...
... In several off-group messages, I decided that I was through even worrying about the "Great Hold Fire Debate". Twas good to see that John maintains the...
Doesn't the fact that the AUTHOR has stated that this is not so come into play anywhere? FIRST FIRE, HOLD FIRE and MOVING FIRE occurs in sequence and is...
The Moving unit loses a Fire die due to movement. Also, casualties sustained by the moving unit are assessed before the moving unit fires back. So, the moving...
<<examples: Defender gains the fence and waits to fire - attacker simply moves adjacent and gains the benefit as well.>> Defender is across a stream - attacker...
I'll just point out that the moving unit still loses a Fire Die even if Hold Fire is resolved during the Moving Fires Phase. The Defender is still at an...
To John Hill, I just want to thank John Hill for all the years I have been enjoying his great JRIII game. To me it is still the most thorough, realistic and...
I've had what seem to be some odd results w/ hold fire and artillery fire. Artillery on hold smashes up enemy art trying to move up and unlimber to engage in...
Yes, we all hashed it out and showed you that you were completely wrong in your interpretation about Hold fires. Now even John Hill has clearly stated that...
Doesn't sound strange to me. If my artillery is already deployed and prepared to engage targets, and yours is not- in fact it is a nice big, fat, juicy target...
Good questions. The kind of questions which are fun to answer through research and which make miniatures war gaming that much more enjoyable. What did ACW...
Allow me to refresh your memory about right and wrong in Johnny Reb. The first sentence of the first Ask John Hill in Charge #2, reads: "In answering rules or...
Nope, errant behavior deserves punishment - and is historical as well. Sometimes you have to do it, but it will always hurt.... ... From: "sddelucas@..."...
