We had a go at the rules last weekend, and we found them to be playable and quick, albeit with a few questions and probs with the rules.
1. Do you do morale as and when it happens and do the results of it?
NO. MORALE HAPPENS AT THE END OF THE TURN AND IS DONE FROM THE RIGHT TO THE LEFT OF EACH ARMY. THE ONLY MORALE TESTS ACTUALLY DONE AND ACTED UPON IMMEDIATELY ARE THE CHARGE AND CHARGE REACTION TESTS
2. We found that a cavalry regt, was inside a built up area, moving through it, and we found that an Infantry battalion defending the area could have been attacked without ANY chance of defending itself. The battalion itself was facing the wrong way as the cavalry entered the area, surely the Infantry could be expected to fire and then attack the cavalry and melee with them to drive them out!
CAVALRY COULD ONLY MOVE THROUGH A BUILT UP AREA IN COLUMN AND THEREFORE COULD NOT CHARGE. THE INFANTRY WOULD HAVE BEEN IN NO DANGER
3. If cavalry charges an opponent, who themselves are doing a "move order" in a totally different direction, how would that work out in movements?
MOVE ORDER IS AUTOMATICALLY CANCELLED BY THE CHARGE DECLARATION. THE CHARGED UNIT HAS TO REACT TO THE IMMEDIATE THREAT -
4. Does interpenetration mean no moving through any units at all, even artillery, except if it's in retreat or rout? YUP
