Thanks for the response. It made me realise that I should have defined my types of hills. Unlike most LFS players, we fight campaigns rather than recreate...
Hi Bob Your comments on blinds moving through troops deployed on the table has made me wonder whether my reasoning for blinds is correct. For me there are...
Hi Paul I guess it is fairly important to define hills as either steep or gentle (rather along the old WRG lines). On the whole, most should probably be...
Absolutely correct. Several of my friends hunt (foxes) and I have discussed this matter with them in detail, they are most definite in saying that anything...
Hi Paul I'm with you on reasons one and three for using blinds. IN the case of reason two, I suppose the chance element applies whether or not you are on a...
<snip> ... <snip> For this particular item, I'd be inclined to give the terrain advantage if the attacker had to cross the crest to contact - hence attacking...
Hi All, I'm new player in LFS. I'm from Poland and I want to promote this rule in two wrgame clubs in Warsaw. Could somebody explains me (in best way will be...
But surely Phil, only the Brits used this sneaky trick and the rules cover it already? Bob ... advantage? I ... over ... about ... the ... LFS ... Wellington...
Hi Rafal You've got it right. The cards are turned over one at a time. On the turning of a commander's card, he takes his turn. He rolls the average dice for ...
Hello Bob, many thanks for answer. If turn over on of the French Gifted/Bold card, or Allied Gifted/Bold, or French Grand tactical and a Cautious/Poor card...
We almost always only use the hill advantage where the hill is steep/difficult going anyway, this tends to negate any benefit of cavalry operating there but I...
Hi folks, Whilst waiting for the missus to give birth to my son, I am finally thinking seriously of getting some British together for the Peninsula. For him of...
Hi-I have not played LFS for some time and I have forgotten how skirmish warfare is applied-is it seperate or inclusive with mainline combat-I cannot find any...
Hi Rafal, Each commander/division is only activated ONCE per turn. In Dombrowski's case as a Bold commander he would HAVE to activate on the French Gifted/Bold...
Greetings Everyone seems to go for the Light Division, often for Third. In terms of some major actions, excluding separate Portuguese: Vimiero: organised in...
Hi Rafal I guess Zippee has already answered this, but the guiding principle is that each command can be activiated only once per game turn. If activated first...
Fascinating stuff Richard. I'm sure your Prussian friends were right (they should have known after all) but it kind of feels wrong somehow to give a terrain...
Hi Terry In general, skirmishing is "abstracted" in LFS (on the basis that most armies had some sort of skirmish screens during the later Napoleonic period...
The 'other' light Division, i.e. the 7th would be top of my list. My army's based around this division, as it contains the local regiment (DLI). It's probably...
Hi Kev As you will know, I play with Brits quite often. I usually find that 2 British divisions is quite enough for a normal sized game, bearing in mind that...
Greetings Taking the 7th Division as an example, at Fuentes d'Onoro the division deployed (according to 1 May 1811 returns): 7th Division (Maj Gen Houston) ...
Hello Bob and Zippee, thanks for answer. Now this rules are more clear, but I have next quastions: 1) The French Grand Tactical card is use only to blind...
Oooops sorry Kev, stupid memory slip (it's my age). It was Kielmansegge's Hanoverian Brigade in Alten's Division at QB, not Ompteda's KGL. Still allows for...
Hi Rafal Answers are as follows: 1) Yes, remove this card after all French blinds have been spotted. 2) Correct, 6 cards. 3) The use of the word "may" in the...
No problem 1) If there are no blinds left on the table, then yes you may as well remove th GT card from the pack 2) Sounds right 3) If a BOLD commander is...
Hello Bob, thank you for answer. Now I think this rules are quite clear. Yes, I read clarification "The Thoughts of Chairman Daz", but about my quastions was...
Hello Zippee, now this rules are clear. Rafal lfslist@yahoogroups.com napisał(a): No problem 1) If there are no blinds left on the table, then yes you may as...
I have the predictable 1st, 3rd and Light Divisions, plus an independent Portugese brigade. However, when looking for refight scenarios, I always seem to lack ...
I can only reinforce the "sensible umpiring" comment! Obviously, in the heat of a game this can be difficult. For the example that Paul gave, I would say that...
Just to emphasise that the rule is left deliberately vague to allow for the interpretations that people are posting on this thread! Personally, I don't give...
