Re: All or Nothing Charge

This rule was being adopted as the default setting for multi squadron cavalry regiments which is why I moved it to the optional section. It was an 'in extremis' rule which gained popularity because some players could see the win potential in it. That, as anyone who knows me well, is not, how it was ...

Joe has that rare talent for being both eloquent and to the point simultaneously! I see where you are going there Schomberg with your Enniskilleners! The stand and fire check effectiveness is not range based but as Joe describes it 'intestinal'. Are the men grim, calm and determined or neurotic, ner...

Re: Wheeling as part of a Charge

Chaps, the reduction in movement for the 'realignment' prevents any need to measure a 'wheel'. You won't need the template for this. The template is meant for use in ordinary wheeling no a pre-charge realignment which is pretty much down to chance. A realignment during a charge simply allows you to ...

Re: Wheeling as part of a Charge

Wheeling is at half rate for close order infantry in line so, infantry (except Swedes, loose order and tribal infantry) can only wheel two inches. Horse can wheel 4 inches in line or 8 inches in column of march. Charging cavalry which realign by wheeling do not do it the way you have described. See ...
