Jim, These kind of gratitious, and IMO unwarrnted, attacks on fellow list members are not only unnecessary but counter productive. For you to announce your...
Gentlemen, Please don't fight. I agree 1000% with Jerry that overt disrespect for the opinions of others is counter-productive, causes ill-will, and reflects...
Jerry, This was hardly an attack, nor very gratuitous. I'm not opposed to you or anyone else scolding people for un-gentlemanlike conduct. However, if it is...
Dean, Very funny story. I personally don't allow email transactions to override face-to-face transactions, and now matter how heated some of the debates get...
I had I thought always played it that way but pulled out the rules book as I am adapting them to 40mm, (Artillery stands gave me fits) and was reviewing to...
Dean, if I didn't say it before, I think you do nice work. Look forward to purchasing your SYW variant. As far as my projections are concerned with regard to...
This is more examples from the margins. Things that don't come up except once in a blue moon. It's another place where we had some substantial discussion...
Gentlemen, I have a question. Some have suggested that charging units do not become disordered at the end of their charge. I need to understand how you arrived...
As I said from the get-go these are excellent diagrams. Much depends, IMV, on whether the 7th NC and 11th VA are in 2'' supporting distance. If they are,...
First, I feel the need to comment that this situation occurs once in a blue moon, a competent Confederate brigadier who not have allowed this cluster-f to...
The last sentence of the first paragraph should be "...the unit MIGHT not be in DISORDER during the first round of melee?" This because, technically, the...
... Dean, This is not a position I would personally advocate for but I think I understand the argument and can illustrate it through an example. Given: ...
As Clarication, not an argument. The declartion of the Countercharge by the 7th NC against 21st PA DOES NOT cause the 21st PA to immediately react to the...
....The way I have played this, is that if a unit can stop the charge short of the disorder point, by rolling a TCR at a terrain point, it spends the rest of...
Just some quick points on your post, Jim. Preceded by ..... ... From: jmkort <jmkorten@...> Date: Monday, September 1, 2008 11:11 pm Subject: [Johnny...
Scot, I absolutely agree with your "fence" diagram. That surely is a valid example of halting in good order, after a successful TCR. The target is the fence,...
Scot, Once compromised by your tactical situation, I believe a wise Rebel commander would get his men out of there, to fight again in a turn or two. However,...
... a fence? Seems kind of a dangerous move. I think they attempt it because if they don't, then they have a 100% chance of being left in disorder right in...
... I'm in complete agreement with all you say above. I'm merely playing advocate for the strict constructionist (as Norris called it) that would read Page 48...
Hi PJ, I understand the nuance, but in the games I have played in, everybody seems to agree that disorder occurs as soon as a charge ends. Yours is a more...
Scot, Your last paragraph! As I hope very much to clarify, targets are declared and target declared during Reveal Orders Phase, but charge movement is...
... I completely understand that, but that's what I was trying to convey by my phrase "fog of tabletop". They are supposed to happen very seperately and...
Hi Scot, Well, I suppose that's why we need a clarifying document, because sometimes the language can be misunderstood. Nevertheless, I don't know what your...
... Yes, in my illustration it's a near thing, but assuming that the 7th NC and the 2nd Wis is the closest thing on the table. The strict constuctionist would...
Scot, Very tricky indeed. I don't see any problem here at all? If Wisc vs NC is the closest charge, the Wisc unit charges the 7th NC, in disorder, and the 7th...
In this instance, P.J.'s practice of having the charging unit halt in disorder after reaching the fence or stone wall provides a reasonable level of calculated...
But would not the enemy unit that Scot shows in the diagram be a "threatening" one? If so the rules specifically prohibit the 7th NC attempting to halt at the...
My view is that ALL disordered units should become disordered at the end of their charge, just as you suggest, but I understand Scot's and others' way of...
And while we're at it-- Please clarify if the 7th NC is disordered by crossing either the fence or the stone wall during their charge, and how much movement ...
