I made several mistakes during the course of the game, which, of course, gives me plenty to work on for another occasion. But my poor landwehr got simply too tough an assignment in trying to 'fix' the French right flank...<br /><br />Lovely figures to manoeuvre, and the game rocked along briskly. Some idiosyncratic game mechanics to get the hang of, but all rule sets have their peculiarities. The fast pace is always welcome.<br />Archduke Piccolohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15533325665451889661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4809892888059311958.post-44343342592794720222015-04-14T11:41:59.817+12:002015-04-14T11:41:59.817+12:00Thanks Eric, yes that would be easily doable, will...Thanks Eric, yes that would be easily doable, will have to give it a try.Chasseurhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04919997382932080898noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4809892888059311958.post-23683780397015531302015-04-14T11:41:39.774+12:002015-04-14T11:41:39.774+12:00Yes I'm alternating between them myself at pre...Yes I'm alternating between them myself at present.

I have a strong urge to dust off my French and play a game of LaSalle!<br /><br />That said, I noticed one of your comments:<br /><br />"[Experienced units automatically form square when charged, but Amateur units must roll for it]."<br /><br />I think you are confusing changing formation during the action phase (ie movement) with changing formation in the reaction phase. If an enemy unit is in contact with your unit (by charging in their turn) you can make a reaction check to change formation by making a discipline check. So, an amateur unit that beings your turn with enemy in contact needs a 4+ to change formation, whereas an experienced unit needs to roll a 3+. <br /><br />See page 34, especially the example.<br /><br />Such uncertainty makes the decision of when to change into square much more exciting, especially if you are using the optional officers rule! Note you can also make other reactions, such as fire (which is completely automatic) or fall back (not recommended if you've got cavalry in contact though)!<br /><br />If you fail the DISC test of course, your unit just stands there....Tony Shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05979062183300627571noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4809892888059311958.post-29173628634241635442015-04-14T05:06:11.417+12:002015-04-14T05:06:11.417+12:00Nice looking game.
