Did a video from my ECW game two months back. Not much interest other than the players in the game - its a time-lapse of the game.<br /><br />Thank you for the details about set-up and playing times for your game system - I am keen to explore it more.MurdocKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08693711825249632305noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4809892888059311958.post-86685538471831122652020-08-17T23:31:34.844+12:002020-08-17T23:31:34.844+12:00Cheers Ed, and yes this was version 5. If your bud...Cheers Ed, and yes this was version 5. If your buddies like GdA fair enough, it has nice features though also takes a bit of time to work through obviously :) <br /><br />I would say effects of testing to charge and closing fire are still there in v5, just now factored into melee factors and outcomes rather than as separate dice rolls ;) Outcomes range the gamut from one side being destroyed or taking heavy casualties, through to those where neither side is affected (representing failure to charge home). <br /><br />With rules, you can have few tests that sum the overall odds, or many tests. E.g. older rules sometimes had something like (1) attacker tests to charge, (2) defender tests to hold, (3) defender tests for defensive fire, (4) attacker tests to continue charge, (5) defender tests to receive charge, (6) both test for melee, (7) tests for morale, (8) test for pursuit. Many Napoleonic rules these days favour fewer (tedious) tests, and if aiming for fast play that seems a sensible option to me!

I am having some trouble convincing my gaming buddies to have a go. They like GdA and like good wargamers are averse to change! :D One of their main points being the removal of the test to charge in roll. Not having tested the rules though, it is tough to see what the outcomes of the combat rolls would be to counter this argument. <br /><br />Best,<br />Ed<br />E Gilheadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03734915696230386124noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4809892888059311958.post-60575039796379992402020-08-17T19:35:07.497+12:002020-08-17T19:35:07.497+12:00Ha thanks yes that is an indication! :)Ha thanks yes that is an indication! :)Chasseurhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04919997382932080898noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4809892888059311958.post-962995452108480822020-08-17T18:12:54.673+12:002020-08-17T18:12:54.673+12:00Splendid looking game, if unfortunate outcome for ...Splendid looking game, if unfortunate outcome for the Austrians!( if I put in unfortunate outcome, predictive text is already coming up with Austrians, they're on a bad run on the web!)<br />Best Iain caveadsum1471https://www.blogger.com/profile/02174163740406928172noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4809892888059311958.post-53634080500527727092020-08-16T20:32:08.972+12:002020-08-16T20:32:08.972+12:00Thank you Carlo, I'm glad the action was to yo...Thank you Carlo, I'm glad the action was to your liking! :)Chasseurhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04919997382932080898noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4809892888059311958.post-81821330600682136752020-08-16T19:42:26.637+12:002020-08-16T19:42:26.637+12:00As always Mark a spectacular looking game with a t...As always Mark a spectacular looking game with a table full of brilliant figures and terrain.
