We had a Napoleonic game last night, and the issue of units, who have routed as part of a combat lost by a friendly unit, being able to rally and return to the offensive without problem played a

Ken Dazza is correct, and his example of Colonel H is a classic illsutration of both the behaviour of a "Big Man" and the reaction of troops, even elite ones, to a firefight. Reading accounts of

Dazza 1. Why only the first time they rout? Surely if a unit routs twice they should loose more, or perhaps never come back? 2. Probably be right. Certainly it would give them a "Big Man"

Hi Rich, I thought that losing 1 hit per move in rout would be a little excessive, but it would certainly give you an incentive to stop them! We just need to try it out and see. Yes, I

Dazza I think I misunderstood your initial mailing. I agree one point in the first turn of EACH rout. So the Frogs on Tuesday would have lost two point each for their two routs(?). Had that been

Not being there on Tuesday I don't know what happened and I think I've only used the rules and cards once - however I think there should definitely be an incentive to require commanders to rally

Thank you for your comprehensive answer. I appreciate what you are saying, I think perhaps the youngsters at school are probably not quite so keen on the simulation aspect as they are on the game.

I have a niece who works in general practice, but I didn't think she spent her time stopping routing units. Maybe my sister should send her to Karbala! therugdoctor2003 wrote:

Ken, It'd be interesting to know what size are the actions you are fighting. I hate to say anything in their favour but both the illustrious doctor (Dazza) and my fellow lardy are right. I'd be

Before Nikkos gets overexcited with his lusty young lads (?), I have painted up some Jock officers and pipers this weekend, Camerons and Black Watch if you're interested, for my 1940 bash.

Nick A very quick reply as I am doing assembly in quarter of an hour! I have given consideration to Richard's comments the other day, and you confirm these with your remarks. Actually the news of

Nick The movement thing reflects the fact that while the piper pipes people will keep moving, in the same way that troops did in previous centuries. It does NOT make people shoot better, and,

Given that the Scots would be inspired by the sound of the peeps, should not the morale effect of the piper being a casualty also be considered.....? To hear only the first few bars of "Cock of the

We tried the rules again at our school club yesterday evening. I spoke to the boys first, as I mentioned, about how plans were one thing but reality another. I used a couple of examples from the

Ken Good news. When we started writing the rules (actually the Charlie Don't Surf set for Vietnam, more on that later) we used quite small forces with once card per section in 20mm scale. Indeed,

Being a rabid Anglo-Saxon, I think you're overdoing the effect here. With only a musket in hand, I can perceive the morale impact. With automatic weapons, I'm not so sure. And imagine how hard it
