I enjoyed them with my own tweaking and still might use them after trying out some others eg Black Powder was the last one.David Cookehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17148983897942472092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6057185838362383737.post-51031547332776339592016-11-04T17:22:29.313-07:002016-11-04T17:22:29.313-07:00Nice writeup and photos.

Once the stuns equal or greater than the number of remaining bases the regiment retreats 12inches and rallies a stun. If it's stuns are still equal or greater than the number of bases it then retreats another 6 inches and looses one base and rallies two stuns, repeat. Hope you enjoy the game.

I noticed that although the alternate firing and close combat mechanisms in the rules factor in unit quality, the 'stop charge' fire doesn't.<br /><br />I'm looking forward to trying out these rules in the next couple of weeks, either with ACW, or with my South American Liberation forces. Or both :)Kaptain Koboldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17082772546044655044noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6057185838362383737.post-50081338467101727302016-05-04T05:05:11.101-07:002016-05-04T05:05:11.101-07:00Hi Kaptain. I glad you enjoyed the write ups. I us...Hi Kaptain. I glad you enjoyed the write ups. I use 6 bases for Cavalry and infantry because that's how my forces are organised. For Artillery I use one model per 2 guns so normaly 3 for union and 2 for Confederates. For Artillery shooting I use the normal factors and dice but add one dice for each extra gun. So +2 extra dice for a full strength Union battery and +1 Confederate. For unit quality I dispensed with the 1= retreat on the dice and just used 6=kill and 5,4,3= stunned for green troops, 5,4= stunned for experienced and only 5=stunned for Elite regiments. I tried to abbreviate the rule so I hope it still makes sense. This was to increase the likelyhood the ACW regiments will loose heart and withdraw when stunned equals or exceeds the number of bases but still be able to rally and come back.David Cookehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17148983897942472092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6057185838362383737.post-83021290979557107442016-05-02T06:17:35.906-07:002016-05-02T06:17:35.906-07:00Loved both the writeups of these rules, the only o...Loved both the writeups of these rules, the only ones I have seen so far. In fact I liked them so much I downloaded them :)<br /><br />How did you cover individual unit quality? Also I see that your units seem to vary from the 4 stand Infantry/Cavalry and 1 stand Artillery. What did you use?<br /><br />Thanks.Kaptain Koboldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17082772546044655044noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6057185838362383737.post-24674198613483304442016-04-29T09:17:38.509-07:002016-04-29T09:17:38.509-07:00Thanks Norm.
