As a newbie I would look forward to buying a revised/expanded JRiii 2nd Edition. Theoretically speaking, I would be even happier to buy a JRBY, but would...

We've always played it where hold fires can take place at any time against any unit the firer can target...also, we've never allowed shaken units to add...
Thanks for that PJ. Although not being there at the time when John Hill said this, am i right in thinking that it was "off the top of his head" remark? What ...
Well Jim, 40mm seems to be a standard for 28s. I like the GW bases. Squares allow the column length to look right when turned to a flank. I use 4 indivual...
I am speaking on this topic on Friday night at Fall-In! as one of the guest speakers for the military college portion of the event. I have 90% of the...
Paul, I like the more definitive look between regiments of different strengths. Standardization also makes for more scenario flexiblity with any given pool of...
Doug, I agree with your idea for a new edition of JRIII, as opposed to a JR4.It makes perfect sense to me. IMO what the JRIII concept needs most are...
To elaborate on the thread a bit more. Because I see both 12 fig and 16 fig regiments as straddling the JR regimental mean b/c I see the actual ACW regimental...

Okay Dan. Thanks. I am encouraged that you agree with the firing protocol I advocate. I'm wondering if you have a rationale for not allowing Shaken units to...

Sure Jim, the cavalry are based ewo on a 50mm square. On ave 3 bns x 4 stands each = Fed regt. I also have single figures 25 x 50mm which when placed with a...
I've enlarged my 28mm photo file somewhat. Scott you can see some useful pics for Petersburg and Jim you can see how the units look based. The dinky guns...
Thanks, Paul. I think you've talked me into going with 4 fig stands for JRiii. I still think a theoretical case exists for 3 fig stands, but I think that case...
Lads, Please feel free to send emails that describe the holes and anomalies in the rules. I will work with Doug, and any of the many JRIII experts on this site...
Well Dean, my question is, is defensive support mandatory when a potential support unit is not an object of a charge and is within 2'' of the charge target ?...
This is great news Dean! Thank you for taking this on. I certainly hope several of the other JRIII experts aid you in this effort. My personal experience would...
Jim, I hope for much input on the charge issues, then we will codify/qmpliphy/clarify- whatever it takes. We do not want to alter JRIII. I see the mission...
