i do not have the rules handy right now but is there a -3 die roll modification on non-phasing /defensive firing for being "unsupported" ( infantry not in sq...

IT's a '-2' mod. Our group has never used the skirmish formations but yours is an interesting idea. The cavalry would have a -3 and mod out to a 0 or so,...
The question is how many batteries of each caliber were there in the ENTIRE Austrian Army in about 1809? I think I have the number of total batteries but I do...
The whole army. I want to know what they had available...I like to play with 'what if...' scenarios. The problem with just getting numbers for 'field...
I hate to always be the "other" voice. Just old and crabby I guess. :) I never cared for the skirmish rule in NB. It has to much of a tactical sense. Yes, the...
In a message dated 2/2/06 7:10:00 PM !!!First Boot!!!, ... How about this: Skirmish cavalry can NEVER cause a casualty, or break a square, but causes a "pin."...
... break a ... formation or move ... the 'pinned' ... Actually, I like this. If, you mean "NEVER cause a casualty to...". a square. Infantry are not likely to...
I remember downloading an Excel workbook that listed the number of stands needed from each Nationality to play all of the published scenarios. Anyone have a...
In a message dated 2/3/06 5:45:39 PM !!!First Boot!!!, ... Thanks; remember the "pinned" infantry can still fire (with appropriate modifiers for being in...
I'm going to host a NB Auerstaedt scenario this week-end. While assembling and tagging the troops, I was struck by the rather large disparity between the size...
Part of the answer lays in the response and dispersal numbers. IIRC the command spans for the Prussians are short and the commanders are not very good. The...
FWIW Department. I've seen the same scenario played under Empire III+ at least a dozen or more time. The French didn't lose once. Regards, Bill Gray ... Part...

I have a rules question: Can artillery that is attached to infantry in square or deployed in a town shoot in all directions(at a -1 modifier?) If this is the...
What good is a road? If a road passes through rough terrain, forest, etc., I can see the benefit. What advantage does a road provide on open terrain? I've read...
Another rules question: Artillery attached to infantry that is routed due to combat also has to rout. (rule 8.6.2.2.3) My question is, does the routed...
