... Really looking forward to getting my Prussians on the table soon. Kev ... I suspect for 1813 the French should have a lot of dreck too, more than in the...
Hi Daz, et al Are there any plans in the offing for any Lard Island LFS refights for 2009? Any thoughts? Just interested. Cheers Kev (Hoping for Talavera or...
From the rules on bombardment morale: If total is 0 or less, the unit is Shaken and retires out of grape range (unless in square; Squares will stand Shaken)....
Good question! I've never considered it - all I can say is that I've always played it as the artillery stays in place Silenced. However I'm not sure if that's...
Hi Kev In conversation with Daz a couple of weeks back, the second day at Wagram was hinted at. It has also been suggested that Daz may well take the...
Brigadiers are used to mark the geographic center of a brigade. If the brigade has routed/withdrawn units, are these counted as far as where the geographic...
Hi Dale, I certainly understand why you would do it that way but I tend to ignore routers for this purpose. However if you routinely remove routers after one ...
Hi, last night we had a change of campaign, and had 1815 French vs Prussians, loosely based on the advance of the Prussians during the afternoon of Waterloo,...
Hi, just a question about LFSIII... are you going to use ranged fire, this time?? Like, I heard, is used in the ACW version? That lack is my main problem with...
... Agreed. Have you tried the game yet? The dice decide if your attack goes in with cold steel, stalls and shoots it out, or doesn't go in in the first place,...
7 for 7. The difference in effective range of infantry fire between the two periods is the basis for the difference in game mechanics. The simpler, more...
The thing I like about the combat system is that there is no guarantee what will happen. You are playing the role of a Corps or a Divisional commander so once...
My only real concern with combat is that the morale grade difference is I think a tad overblown. And that given that it is hard to make distinctions between...
... Here is where some of the TCHAE ideas might be good. The aggressive, resolute and cautious troops - and inspirational officers might add flavor. But at the...
It scares me a bit that I agree with Zippee. :) I too think that troops being of different class must mean net +2 in favor of the better troops is a bit much....
One of the things I'd really like to see in LFS III is a better rendition of what a division would really look like coming off a semi-deployed blind. I think...
To scare you further Phil I'd tend to agree with much of that. The penalty for sem-deployed is that it's clunky, you have to spend valuable time micro-managing...
Hi, thanks to everybody for your answers and comments. No, didn't try the game... can't imagine a Nap game without ranged combat (had problems with light horse...
Hi, I must admit we use the extended blind option for Anglo-Portuguese and occasionally for Austrian Divisions too. If a fully deployed blind really means...
... I suggest you play a small game just to see how it feels. It has been my favorite tactical Napoleonic rules since it was published. Among the other rules...
Hi Yes, this was the rationale for the suggestion of teh extended blinds option in the first place. I use it for Brits and Austrians only (although I might...
Jerome had a monster at Waterloo? How many battalions? I thought everything was pretty small in 1815. When I think of the French, I'm usually looking at...
