Your dice dot system sounds both simple and clever. I am able to stick with the Napoleonic dice, as the ratio of each arm is about right, I like the push backs, formerly straight battle lines, bent and then broken as the battle ebbs and flows.TheDiomedeF16https://www.blogger.com/profile/15038244426235921810noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-122535372992110261.post-19567308902588599852017-11-27T01:19:41.176-08:002017-11-27T01:19:41.176-08:00Very interesting and informative Ian.

One method you might consider is to imagine the dots on the dice outlining a NATO military symbol: '1' for artillery; 2 and 3 for cavalry and 4,5,6 for infantry. Lacking the special dice until recently, I came up with that dice system three or four years ago. It doesn't force retreats instead of losses, though. My whole combat system had something different in mind...<br />Archduke Piccolohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15533325665451889661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-122535372992110261.post-64306595826623263872017-11-26T11:04:02.753-08:002017-11-26T11:04:02.753-08:00You could easily allow for elites, by giving them ...You could easily allow for elites, by giving them a starting strength of seven, it would of course work the other way too, a green unit/conscript could start with a strength of just five.TheDiomedeF16https://www.blogger.com/profile/15038244426235921810noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-122535372992110261.post-47963527305530909352017-11-26T10:31:13.083-08:002017-11-26T10:31:13.083-08:00Are their variations for elite units?

Each die has two infantry symbols, then one each of cavalry, artillery, crossed sabres and a flag. It is based on the C&C rules, but with modifications mentioned in this posting. All infantry have a starting strength of six, cavalry four and artillery three. Once a unit has a single strength point remaining it can no longer carry out aggressive action, but can defend itself. I also use a one third of total units in the battle as the break point.TheDiomedeF16https://www.blogger.com/profile/15038244426235921810noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-122535372992110261.post-71897646043071874402017-11-26T06:34:00.446-08:002017-11-26T06:34:00.446-08:00So...
