League Of Augsburg - Fighting Talk

Can units that have taken casualties be combined? We were playing last night and I had a lone survivor of one unit who did not run away and I thought that he could join up with a like type unit, but could not find it in the rule book. I had thought I saw it in the rules, but could be confusing rules from different games.

Thanks

It might not be in there, but yes, you can do that as long as they are similar skill levels (d6, d8, etc) and similar type (foot or mounted) AND as long as it won't make the new unit more than 12 rank and file (not including characters). You might restrict the weapon type as (a pikeman can't join a unit of muskets), but I generally let that go.

Sometimes I play a variant called Lone Survivor... when a unit is reduced to a single model and that figure passes his morale test with 'carry on' his die is increased by +1 step and he is treated as a character the rest of the game (immune to further morale tests, save on the wound chart, etc). The guy is obviously a bad - to have survived (or maybe a Flashman anti-hero deserving of the wound save). Of course, you need to name him. Just leave the unit card in the deck and treat it as a character card for the rest of the game.

Hope that helps!

Very cool idea. I remember battle ground ww2 had a similar rule.

Thanks, yes it does.
