Yes I could certainly put that in my rules, give the rebels +1 dice in melee to replicate the rebel yell, and +1 to the Union when firing, superior weapons.TheDiomedeF16https://www.blogger.com/profile/15038244426235921810noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-122535372992110261.post-36946970135498606682017-11-23T12:02:07.485-08:002017-11-23T12:02:07.485-08:00That was very helpful; thank you.That was very helpful; thank you.Kaptain Koboldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17082772546044655044noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-122535372992110261.post-20901865278958799742017-11-23T02:48:31.020-08:002017-11-23T02:48:31.020-08:00Thank you my friend, the only command and control ...Thank you my friend, the only command and control I used, was the initiative roll, both sides being allowed to move or fire with all their units. A unit that moved, could not fire that turn. Unlimbering arty also took a full turn.<br />Ranges were in centimetres, musket and canister being 6cm, effective range for arty was 30cm over that it was long range out to 50cm. Infantry could move 6cm and cavalry 12cm maximum. I hope that helps.TheDiomedeF16https://www.blogger.com/profile/15038244426235921810noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-122535372992110261.post-76409379634965869222017-11-22T20:25:40.546-08:002017-11-22T20:25:40.546-08:00I've enjoyed flicking through these reports (I...I've enjoyed flicking through these reports (I haven't had chance to sit an read them all in detail; that's to come).<br /><br />You describe you combat mechanism.

Some troop types are (figures * 1D) + 1 (British firing, French in melee), plus there is moving fire (1/2 dice), etc. which causes losses to have a non-linear effect on combat power.<br /><br />I have all of the expansions and it was interesting to see how Richard Borg used the dice to alter the formula to get a "historical flavor" for the given nationality and troop type.Dalehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13667428218897971037noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-122535372992110261.post-48937978114020950162017-11-22T15:34:33.137-08:002017-11-22T15:34:33.137-08:00Cheers Andy, I am pleased you enjoyed it, I get to...Cheers Andy, I am pleased you enjoyed it, I get to do my two favourite things, wargaming and writing.TheDiomedeF16https://www.blogger.com/profile/15038244426235921810noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-122535372992110261.post-21211222492425730442017-11-22T15:09:27.774-08:002017-11-22T15:09:27.774-08:00Thanks for all that.
