Colours, Pipes, Drums, Whistles and Bugles were all about command and control. The introduction of radio nets improved the battalion/company co-ordination but not the Platoon/section situation. The

Lards I think that to us Anglo-Saxons (although on my mother's side I am quite Norman) the pipes would probably mean less than to a Scot (or even a celt, as the Irish had them as well). It would

Lards I tend to agree with Dazza, getting into national characteristics is a minefield. We can find similar descriptions for other troops eg Ghurka's who didn't need pipes for the bad guys to be

Forgive this long piece, but as the wife is out tonight, I've been looking online at bagpipes in combat (and will move on to the more interesting websites that Noddy told me about later). Most of what

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

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,

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

Sidney That is an issue. I would be keen not to overlegislate in the rules for every occurence. Losing the aforementioned advantages would seem sufficient for me. For a start the co-ordination

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

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,

Rich Not "The Devils in Skirts"!! Where's Terry Scott!? My initial feeling is that you've given too big a bonus for the pipes. Insted of enabling the CO to move every section, which does give

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.

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

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:

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.

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
