WE play a little fast and loose - if the centre front of a unit can make it into contact, it's moved into contact and we generally line them up even like. <br /><br />I think, according to the rules, only one unit can contact any one side of a unit - which forced me to do a lot of fiddling around when I wanted to attack the town that was boing held by a Russian battalion. The unit holding the town is assumed to be spread out around the town - so each side of the town counts as a face of the unit - even though the town was big enough that two full units could have come into contact with one edge of the town I had to maneuver the two flanking battalions around the two sides of the town to coordinate a three-on-one attack on the town. timhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09928949644765765070noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9140646711960604590.post-2854779479474728612014-12-10T10:08:43.153-08:002014-12-10T10:08:43.153-08:00That's a very, very cool looking table indeed ...That's a very, very cool looking table indeed :)Mikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05916177245242865502noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9140646711960604590.post-21271395226638133052014-12-10T10:08:18.227-08:002014-12-10T10:08:18.227-08:00That's a very, very cool looking table :)That's a very, very cool looking table :)<br />Mikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05916177245242865502noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9140646711960604590.post-8842675550840352142014-12-10T08:24:46.469-08:002014-12-10T08:24:46.469-08:00Very nice report.

I love John´s soldiers and is always a pleasure for me to see them "at work".<br />I see that in all the meleés units are aligned in full face contact. Do you use some sort of "conforming" rule?Cesar Pazhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10667136720001247288noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9140646711960604590.post-42219663968975088282014-12-10T07:16:48.103-08:002014-12-10T07:16:48.103-08:00With some tweaking, I don't see why it couldn&...With some tweaking, I don't see why it couldn't...? We had to do a little tweaking ourselves - the game is written for units of four stands (John's units all have six). It also seems to be written with teeny-tiny figures in mind - all the measurements are in centimetres and the playing area is 90cmx120cm - as John's toys are 40mm and those distances would be ridiculously small, we used inches and a 4'x8' table. <br /><br />Neil Thomas also has a Napoleonic set of rules (I think it's just called Napoleonic Wargaming) which may be more appropriate...? I haven't played it so I can't really say how different it'd be - from a brief perusal of the rules the only difference I recall was that you could form square (there are no rules for doing so in Wargaming Nineteenth Century Europe). All his rule sets are frightfully similar and what I'd call a nice mixture of old school and more modern gaming mechanics. <br /><br />Hope that helps..? timhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09928949644765765070noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9140646711960604590.post-61749876541705331612014-12-09T21:40:21.296-08:002014-12-09T21:40:21.296-08:00Hey Tim, any idea how this ruleset would work for ...Hey Tim, any idea how this ruleset would work for the War of 1812?
