Lloyd, Skirmishers: sounds like a good explanation. It would be nice to have a mechanism to reflect when skirmishers take refuge in squares and with columns (...
Rule 8.11 Movement Prohibitions: "Battalions may not Change Face or Formation or move Backward within or into the 6" flank lines of an enemy Formed unit." This...
Lloyd is largely correct regarding the motivations behind the design. Arty
puts this 'out there' in the section on scales when he indicates that
sticking to...
Lloyd For 'reflected' read 'indirectly manifested'! But you make interesting points about the rules - they can't cover every quirk of every army, but in being...

Dave, I agree with much that you have commented upon, however :) The game really is not a battalion game but a division/brigade game with the battalions being...
In the last game I did at a convention I increased the movement by double and had the artillery fire after skirmishers but before volleys. They could fire at...

Ah, British firepower. Some now think their actual advantage was their willingness to charge with bayonets after a volley. See Nostworthy. Vincent, Good...
I want to start putting together an Austrian army circa 1809. Does anyone know roughly what percentage of the German infantry were still wearing a helmet at...
Hi All: I have been thinking about the skirmishing issue and noted that few of you
tend to break down your light battalions into skirmish order. Needless to...

Hi I will try and give you an answer, being that I am Pro Austrian player. In August 1806 the shako was authorized, but its introduction was delay until the ...
As you note, not many players break their light battalions down into skirmish order. It follows that not many will need to avail themselves of rules allowing...
The German troops tended to favor the helmet over the shako. I field 1/2 German infantry in Helmet and the other 1/2 mixed helmet and shako. Mine is an 1809...

I agree. Changing back must be possible for light infantry of ANY nation known to use true light infantry tactics on a significant scale. How about considering...

I definitely favour this idea. In my British peninsular army it would at last give a valid wargaming reason for recreating the light division on the tabletop....
