Hi to all,
today our first play with BLB. We had 8 btg, 8 horse sq. and 8 dragoons sq. per part, more 2 light guns on one side and 2 Field artillery on the other.
We have not finished the scenario for the time, but it was only a very first taste of the rules. All was OK and fun. The only thing that made us quite perplexed is the effect of the artillery fire. A field gun (in reality 2 pieces or so) in a single shot at short distance made 4 casualties on an enemy squadron! (there is a 70% to hit per each dice - on four dice!). Personally I am not an expert on the period, but as it is written on page 9 "Artillery ... it provides occasional casualties and an high nuissance..." I expected a someway lesser effect. (I was the shooter, so better for me... )
Where are we wrong?
Ciao,
Luca
