Hello All, I'm going to have a Napoleon's Battle game of "AUERSTADT" on Feb. 10th. Are you interested in playing in this game? Happy Wargaming, Terry "T.K."...
We played a game yesterday and I need know if we separated our combats correctly; please reference the files section under the illustrations folder: Movement ...
Hi, new to the group. (I understand my messages will be moderated.) Does anyone know how many highlander regiments there were in the Peninsula, in the full...
sounds about right except for the error you already discovered. DAS ... From: Justo To: napsbattles@yahoogroups.com Sent: Sunday, February 04, 2007 11:09 AM ...
Hello Justo, It looks like you resolved the situation correctly. I assume that units A, B, and C all belong to the phasing side while units D and E are the...
We figured there was not option in the combat separations because of the configuration of the contacts... Did you see the illustration? cheers, Justo ...
Goood Morning Justo, Sorry, no I did not check the illustration first. Yes, you are correct in that there is really no option as to how the individual combats...
I believe there were three Highland regiments that wore "highland dress" in the Peninsula and at waterloo - 42nd, 79th, and the 92nd. The only specific...
I ahve some Napoleonic items For sale in which some of you may be interested. Prices are USD and buyer pays airmail shipping from Canada. 1) original...
Hi I have loaded some pictures of the last 1/72 figures I have painted for my next project, the battle of Vitoria (1813). They are: 1) Spanish units present in...
Hi, In NB1 this matter wasn't clear. It said that you must contact enemy units with frontal rank of your unit, but it is not clear if contact with only a...
Alfonso I believe that corner contact is not allowed anyway in NB2. Maybe NB needs a rule such as proposed by Sam Mustafa in Grande Armee requiring that the...
IMHO, that corner contact with the 45 degree stipulation is ideal; it makes sense. cheers, Justo www.NuGamers.com ... From: napsbattles@yahoogroups.com...
Hello Alfonso (and Rafa), I would have to disagree with Rafa's message above. Combat contact with the 'front corner' of a unit is legal in both NB1 and NB2. ...
Low, How did you like Scott's blow by blow AAR? I heard him giving you the high-points of his exploitation with one Cav unit, which did ruin my well ...
So I presume that in NB2 there is no "special clarification" about this point. I'm still think that it is not clearly stated in the rule if it is allowed. From...
Tom I agree with you: corner contact is legal in NB1 and NB2 and evidently there is no requeriment to "squaring-up" the units Cheers Rafa ... contact ... the ...
I have noted that it can be rather difficult for a non-phasing player to counter combined arms maneuvers by the attacker, even if defender has his cavalry on...
Combined Arms Defence tends to be the best way to counter a combined arms attack. you need to be able to anticipate the move and have your forces in place to...
Could you react into the "Pinning" unit? He can't form Square either <grin> Defense in Depth and a Combined Army defense is really the only answer. Sounds...
As Justo said, you just try to keep your distance or leave enough room for reacting cavalry. I was in a group where folks regularly ran up infantry to pin and...
This is the weakest point of NB rules and the reason many call it "cheessy". Really there is no good way to stop a well deseigned combined attack except to...
I can't imagine playing without those "cheesy" rules. Even if it’s unrealistic, a game system needs have mechanical-rule-bits that form the over all menu...
in response to the question below: NB does provide some bias towards the well thought out assault, primarily in that the offensive player has more control...
