We played free deployment and with both sides not knowing if Blucher or Grouchy (or even both) would arrive on the flank. </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjfHXxfgOodU_E4nCfwvNBTYYzD4Xr6AZdvf2Ohlw4lkBWF-3fx-FmA6mU2FnbDgJ3_oQ-s1kFud-KHGHY2hQ4rA_x5ylU8CAU_3X1dTU519zQVtfUJGWabi1G0AHZiX08TP2hWBvHk-mCf/s1313/IMG_8852.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="975" data-original-width="1313" height="476" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjfHXxfgOodU_E4nCfwvNBTYYzD4Xr6AZdvf2Ohlw4lkBWF-3fx-FmA6mU2FnbDgJ3_oQ-s1kFud-KHGHY2hQ4rA_x5ylU8CAU_3X1dTU519zQVtfUJGWabi1G0AHZiX08TP2hWBvHk-mCf/w640-h476/IMG_8852.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">I set the table up in a L shape, all the troops are off the table at the start.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhFQbTDEoRVf7ffuid7du5CAjKmbwJ92BxLfpcTqPSEezCrlj8eWlmyCEJfxYYRJEohGlIB38FrGA28ErRUIxlp8h6AzVhjzm2qhH90r_uujfUz2WYCihUn8HO7CKybfUdD_cAzpOi55G7k/s1332/IMG_8878.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="986" data-original-width="1332" height="474" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhFQbTDEoRVf7ffuid7du5CAjKmbwJ92BxLfpcTqPSEezCrlj8eWlmyCEJfxYYRJEohGlIB38FrGA28ErRUIxlp8h6AzVhjzm2qhH90r_uujfUz2WYCihUn8HO7CKybfUdD_cAzpOi55G7k/w640-h474/IMG_8878.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">The Allied Players, left to right; Carlos, Jose Angel, Toni and myself.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgCxlhEAH6t8GWO9SADd4SLdb5T78fniGN22YSDCKPZMGEbbBWEDSUgPt386JGgWaYKqbNPJUCsgcvIHKn0aIaZfjgkb-93tyRG9C6a1V0121cuu-OPfqIUxHR4rbb__8oFIuM3StWd6Dih/s1322/IMG_8877.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="985" data-original-width="1322" height="476" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgCxlhEAH6t8GWO9SADd4SLdb5T78fniGN22YSDCKPZMGEbbBWEDSUgPt386JGgWaYKqbNPJUCsgcvIHKn0aIaZfjgkb-93tyRG9C6a1V0121cuu-OPfqIUxHR4rbb__8oFIuM3StWd6Dih/w640-h476/IMG_8877.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">The French Players, left to right; Miguel, Francois, Vicente, Salva and Javi.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgpDH_ntgYAGGzQ7KGfOaQEYgwPEKXfzwBzA7wQN8zJ6yBBFtNKAvevqupqmnmi3I3h_ndGtY4LTH6FBxdPdsBDucYywsx9ahoBYe7P7SjSYvwQRwsWkk3fCuaPAO7ZGP6dH-KtnkOLYwbm/s1772/IMG_8850.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1317" data-original-width="1772" height="476" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgpDH_ntgYAGGzQ7KGfOaQEYgwPEKXfzwBzA7wQN8zJ6yBBFtNKAvevqupqmnmi3I3h_ndGtY4LTH6FBxdPdsBDucYywsx9ahoBYe7P7SjSYvwQRwsWkk3fCuaPAO7ZGP6dH-KtnkOLYwbm/w640-h476/IMG_8850.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">The game wouldn't have been possible without other players bringing some of their collections as well.

After Lee's victory at Gettysburg it still left the Army of Northern Virginia spent. So after the 3-day titanic struggle Lee pulled back to Virginia but not before receiving the recognition of Britain in the conflict. As such Britain has broken the blockade and is trying to arrange a ceasefire leading to mediation with France and Russia. Thus the United States has limited time to end this conflict.<br />
A small Union raiding force has been tasked with seizing a British advanced supply point on the Potomac that is thinly guarded by some convalescing infantry and guards with a nearby gunboat under going repairs.<br />
<span style="color: black;"></span><br />
The supply area (collection of buildings) is set up in one corner of the CS/British side of the table where the British units will come on. The Confederate units will come on from the parallel table corner splitting the table is a river that can only be crossed by a ford. Whilst the Union force will come on from any point on their table edge.<br />
<br />
We used scenario 9 out of the Bolt Action rulebook : Point Defence, Kiefer placed 3 objectives (some resin barrels and cases) and we were set.<br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica";"><br /></span>
Kiefer was playing his favourite side the Rebs and worked out his 1000 points as below.<br />

Kiefer had placed his British troops defending the supplies, with his Confederate allies coming on as reserve. I decided to bring all my units on in the first phase, I placed most of my infantry on my right flank to attack the objective in the town. I placed my cavalry on the left flank supported by an infantry company to quickly take the objective. In the centre was my artillery unit to support the final attack on the centre objective by the flank units that had (hopefully) secured another objective.<br />

My Cavalry were caught at the back of the board, due to my cautious approach, Kiefer took the initiative and charged his cavalry at my dismounted cavalry. They were able to get a volley but did not cause enough damage to stop the charge. With Kiefer having over doublé the amount of figures than myself, my unit was totally wiped out and the victorious Rebs regroup.<br />

Seeing the other cavalry company get annihilated, I decided to dismount my other company to begin shooting at the Reb cavalry with their repeating carbines.<br />

My Unión Artillery observor in his hot air ballon above the table (sorry no photos, but it will look great when I've made it) sent a message to the Unión reserve artillery and I placed a marker next to the large reb cavalry company.<br />

Although my reserve artillery did come in, it did very little damage to the Rebs, only putting on a single pin. Straight away Kiefer sucessfully passed his test and charged into my dismounted cavalry, it was another massacre and my left flank was lost.<br />

The Confederate Cavalry began to move to the Ford to attack my centre, ignoring my sniper in the Woods. He first took out the Confederate commander and then began his deadly work on the packed cavalry.<br />

The Guards were slightly weakened by the first attack and so I charged in with my sharpshooters and was able to wipe out the Guards. With my last command dice, my commander galloped across the ground and captured the objective, taking all the glory for himself.<br />
<br />
So at the end of turn 6, I had captured one objective and Kiefer was still in possession of two, so had won the game. We were very pleased with the actual game play of the rules with no real problems and flowed very smoothly.<br />
<br />
In two previous articles of the blog I have published the rules and Army lists we used. If you would like a copy to try I have them in PDF format, just drop me your email and I can send you a copy. <br />

<span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; margin: 0px;">For a game we were playing I had to write army lists
for the Union and Confederate and since I had converted some British Colonial
into British intervention figures I also wrote a few, "What
if" British Intervention units to ally the Confederates. This was
designed for 1000 points games in mind, although after our game I feel 1250 or
1500 points might have given players a few larger infantry units and a little
more choice.</span></div>

Instead of using the usual IGO - UGO system, each player pulls a dice out of a bag for each unit on the table therefore the play goes back and forth during the turn. Also the combat rules with just a few modifiers are pretty easy to learn making a quick fun game. As many wargamers do, I have looked at other periods I play to see if I could make a variation of the rules to suit that era. I have used it for Pony Wars before (I shall write an article on using it to play Custer's last Stand and the Fetterman fight in another article) , and this summer a chain of events made it possible to take a look again on writing a variation for fighting the American Civil War. </div>
<div align="left" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div align="left" style="text-align: center;">
As part of a swap of 15mm American Civil war figures from a friend, I had agreed to pay by painting some 28mm ACW figures, so before I had handed them over we had agreed to play a game with them and the rest of our collections.</div>
<div align="left" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div align="left" style="text-align: center;">
Below are the rules I had written, to play this you will need the Bolt Action ver2 Rulebook, as I have tried to keep it as close as possible to the Main rulebook.</div>

<br />
Down order is only -1 protection modifier not -2 due to them not being as well camouflaged etc as WW2 troops.</div>

Casualties are always taken from the crew even when exceptional damage is
caused. Artillery fire is also resolved against the crew however exceptional
indicates that the gun itself is also destroyed. If the gun is destroyed its
order dice is removed from the dice bag . However the surviving crew members
may be redeployed to other guns. Abandoned guns can be re-crewed during the
game, if not recrewed by the end of the game are treated as destroyed. If an
enemy unit moves within 1” then the abandoned gun is either disabled or
captured and is removed as destroyed.</span></div>

halted one night in Meteren. A very pleasant time was spent at Pradelles near Hazebrouck,
for the next three weeks, during which training of all kinds went forward and reinforcements were received . During this period of "rest," the outstanding events were inspections of the 57th Brigade by General (now Lord) Plumer and
by H.M. The King of the Belgians. General Plumer presented medal ribbons to a
number of Officers, N.C.O's and men. King Albert made a very thorough inspection of the Brigade,

the Somme Battle, was within a few hundred yards of " Stuff Redoubt,"
and the advance here, since 1st July, had only penetrated a few thousand yards.
On this small area had been concentrated an intensity of shell fire hitherto
unprecedented. The effect of bad weather on the heavy clay soil, ploughed up as
it had been, can be better imagined than described. The traffic over this
ground was enormous: R.E. material to consolidate their newly-won position, and
to build footpaths and corduroy tracks, ammunition to feed the insatiable guns
(which were everywhere), rations, water, Red Cross stores, everything had to
traverse this quagmire, and many men and animals were literally engulfed in the
clinging mud, some never to be extricated. The struggles of the mules and
horses were bad enough ; those of the men, loaded with rifles, ammunition,
equipment and sometimes rations as well, were beyond description.</span></div>

<span lang="EN-US">There was one man of the Battalion, who slipped up in a fresh shell
hole, in the so-called front line trench, and was buried up to his armpits for
26 hours, despite every effort made to dig or drag him out. Men were stuck in the mud and only extricated by the timely arrival of a mule, to
which they were harnessed and thus dragged from the clinging, sticky, stuff.
Some men were never rescued, the damp and intense cold of the mud in
which they were caught proving too much for their tired bodies: all they could
do was to crave a speedy death from the rifle of a friend. No wonder they were
all dog-tired, even after one short spell in the line, and the so-called
resting out of the line was little better. The billets they were given were at
the best ruined houses in Aveluy village. Usually it was a case of bivouacing
in dug-outs in the old German front and support lines, or shivering under
improvised shelters of odd pieces of corrugated iron covered with a ground
sheet. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US">Once they were actually given Nissen huts, which were being
hurriedly erected; but there were only four for the whole Battalion, and so
crowded' and muddy that a great number of men preferred to sleep under, rather
than in the hut. Luckily, being built on a slope, there was just room to crawl
underneath. It was highly desirable that the attack, which was planned to take
place immediately, should take place at the earliest possible moment, but the
bad weather necessitated day to day postponements. The enemy's shelling was continuous
and exceptionally severe. They were relieved after two days by the 8th
Gloucesters, and had a very trying time getting clear of the line. Some idea of
the state of the ground may be gained from the fact that some of the men took
25 hours to traverse the distance (about three miles) from the line to billets.
Accommodation was found for the Battalion in dug-outs in the old German front
line, close to two of our Batteries (a 60-pounder and18-pounder), which were
almost continuously firing over their heads. Casualties were severe during this
tour, </span><st1:metricconverter productid="78 ""><span lang="EN-US">78
"</span></st1:metricconverter><span lang="EN-US"> other ranks " in all. James died on the Wednesday 25<sup>th</sup> October, due to being a private, his death is not recorded in the regimental history, however it was recorded that on his final day, the battalion were attempting to cross a part of the battlefield when they came under heavy enemy artillery fire which caused casualties because of the state of the muddy ground. They could not move quickly to safety as their feet and legs were sinking into the boggy ground. If a soldier was not hit directly by a exploding shell they could be buried and suffocated by the tons of earth and mud thrown into the air by shells exploding when burying into the ground. I remember my Aunties telling me that James was killed by a direct hit from a shell and there was nothing left of him to bury. I always wondered how could the family know this when their was no official account of his death. However now we know that his brother Rupert was with him in the battalion and may have actually witnessed his death, I believe this could have happened.</span></div>

After my surprising success in coming first in a Saga Crusades tournament in Alcoy with a Crusader/pilgrim army. The next local tournament for me was in November in Alicante. This was going to be from the Viking age supplement with no legends or special units allowed. I was lending my Anglo saxons and Normans to a couple of friends who were just getting into the game, so I decided to use my Mongols as Steppe tribes. My idea was to use six points of mounted hearthguards, putting them in three units of eight hearthguards. This meant they could shoot initially with the maximum of eight dice and combat with sixteen dice. Although they would be light on Saga dice (only four including the warlord), I reasoned that in the latter turns I would still have three or four dice where as my opponents will hopefully be struggling to get one or two dice with his units losing figures.<br />

<br />
In my intial games, they faired well enough developing my tactics of going in initially and destroying the opponents hearthguards and missile units to make them weak before they could counter attack.<br />
<br />
The first problem was that although I had plenty of painted Mongol light horse and foot units, I only had eight hearthguard figures painted. I had a few more that were in the considerably large painting queue, but I was still five short. At the moment my lead and plastic mountain is quite large, so instead of buying more models I am trying to use and convert from the load I have already.<br />
<br />
I had bought or won in a tournment raffle (Its all gets a blur nowadays) some plastic fireforge mongols light horse and I still had some metal Mongol heavy foot with flails or whips etc lying about. So I cut the figures in half to create some more heavy cavalry, the only problem was that the plastics were bigger in size but were fine if used in one unit.<br />
<br />
Instead of the usual Clash of Warlord games, the tournament was going to have three different scenarios that followed a story line. The second game was a sort of a sacred ground scenario from Saga v1 although the areas were woods that had to be defended, not ideal for an all mounted army. Also in Saga 2 the Steppe tribes had changed from having their own unique battle board in Saga 1, to using the Hun board from the Arthur and Arteius book. I played quite a few of my practice games against my friend Kevin's Welsh, and even though I had some success, I couldnt get over the fact that the Welsh board was more suiting in using the hit and run cavalry tactics of the age. Apart from a very expensive double rare advanced ability where you could move one of your hun units in the other players turn, there was no other way your steppe tribe/hun units could dodge a charge, even from slow paced lumbering foot units. On the Welsh board there were more reaction abilities to move or charge your units in your opponents turn than you could, well, shake a dice at. To top it off the Welsh Warlord can throw his javelins about like peanuts , whilst the Steppe Tribe warlord apparently didn't know what a bow looked like, even though it was the main weapon of his army.<br />
<br />
Therefore after much deliberation and a quick word with the organiser at the eleventh hour. Ghengis Khan's horde from the Steppes became Bryan Khan's mounted Welsh choir from Merthyr Tydfil. Another advantage was it seemed the Welsh had adopted the ability to fight dismounted when the need (or scenario) arose unlike the Steppe Tribes who were permanently glued in their saddles. How the Welsh didn't create one of the largest known empires in the Dark ages is a complete mystery.<br />

I had three practice games set up to try the welsh battleboard, three days before the tournament. Unfortunately my friend Kiefer who was coming over from England for the tournament had missed his flight and wasnt able to come until a day later.<br />
<br />
So the day of the tournament arrived with twenty players meeting up including five players flying over from Mallorca and four English players(although three of us live here).<br />
<br />
My first game was played against Franjo's Vikings, I won the dice off to be the attacker, and Franjo deployed his archers in stony terrain in two, six men units to gain the extra saga dice. To give myself some extra Saga Dice I split my units into one, eight unit and two, four men units with the other two points of hearthguard in reserve as stated by the scenario rules.<br />

With Franjo deploying close to his table edge, I had to move my units from my initial position behind the hill to my right flank. I left a dice on a reaction ability in case his eight men hearthguard unit decided to attack one of my smaller four man units. I made the classic mistake of forgetting I can use manuever moves instead of Saga Dice, which will cost me dear in the following Franjos turn.<br />
<br />

<br />
Franjo took the bait and moved to attack but before he could reach my scouting party, I charged in with my eight man unit. Franjo chose to close ranks and this where my maneuver mistake became costly, because that extra dice could have been used on my ability that if he closed ranks I can put my armour up and his down by one. As it turned out through my disatrous dice throwing I lost a whole unit whilst Franjo managed to save a few of his.<br />

<br />
In the next turn I was able to kill off the remains of his large unit which shook him up enough to make a tactical retreat behind the stony ground with his bersekers and Warlord. I moved my units in a central area and placed my reserve on the other flank, who were able to taunt a viking archer unit from the stony ground and destroy them in the open. In the next turn I attempted to repeat this trick on the other flank, it worked once more but unfortunately his Warlord came running out and caught my small unit who were unable to react. This meant I had lost another unit, but the good news was his Warlord was in the open with three fatigues on it. The problem was the game had to end as we had run out of time, so the game had ended in a draw with both of us having 15 slaughter points.<br />
<br />
My next game was against Pepe and his Vikings. This was going to be a hard game because due to my position in the league table I was deemed the attacker and had to capture both of the defenders woods (his hunting grounds). For this scenario, previously with my steppe tribe I had formed a strategy of just keeping my distance and shooting to score points and then moving into the woods on my final turn so the defender does not gain the extra victory points. However this failed from the moment of my deployment. Knowing that the Vikings have an ability that can exhaust any shooting unit. I decided to use a large dismounted Hearthguard unit to take over and capture one of the woods.<br />
<br />
It was my turn first and Pepe had placed his archers in some open ground. I needed to destroy this unit so my horseman could get their javelins in range without getting hurt. I charged with one of my mounted units at the bowmen. I have tried to block out of my mind what happened next, but out of a possible nine hits, Pepe was able to save all but one and in turn killed two of my hearthguards. Shaken by this I retreated my unit out of range and sent the rest of my troops against the woods.<br />

However this tactic didn't turn out to well and soon I had lost my foot troops in the woods after some terrible dice rolling.<br />

My other cavalry unit attempted a diversion tactic by moving to threaten the other wood, but I had lost too many valuable hearthguard and was way down on the points to recover. So Pepe managed to take all three points and win.</div>

My last game was against Jaques and once again bloody Vikings! This was a kill the Warlord scenario in which nothing else really matters. The only good thing about playing Vikings again was I knew what I had to do in my first turn. Which was to charge in and throw my javelins and do as much damage as possible before he could put those flaming saga dice on the ability to exhaust my shooters. The dice gods were finally with me and I got the correct dice for all my units to go in hard. All of his units suffered quite a few casualties which seem to put him on the back step.</div>

This meant that my units were able to shoot and charge as I had hoped and soon his Warlord was in the front rank. On the last turn I was finally able to finish him off, I have learnt from experience never take fatigues off a Warlord to put his armour down. I know it is very tempting but it rarely pays off. So at least I had finished on a win and a high that catapulted my position from near the bottom to eleventh out of twenty players.<br />

After two games Kiether and his brother Ethan were at the bottom of the table on zero points. After telling each other their tactics on how they were going to win the last game. They realised during lunch that they were going to have to play each other. In the final turn they both managed to kill both of theirWarlords in the same melee.Which meant they both gained one point as it was deemed a draw and moving them from 19th and 20th to 17th and 18th position. Therefore the winner of the very nice wooden "spoon" was Jose Carlos from Mallorca with his Irish. </div>

This was another enjoyable friendly tournament, the rules are so easy to understand that there is hardly any debating even when we are working between the Engish and Spanish versions. Personally I prefer to play with just the clash of warlords scenario found in the basic rule book for tournaments. Due to using some scenarios, I have found in the past can favour certain factions. Also sometimes reading and understanding the new terrain and deployment rules for a specific scenario can mean lost game time. In the popular ancients rules Arte de la Guerrre. the actual game and tournaments only has one type of scenario, with variable terrain placing similar to the clash of Warlords scenario and it still attracts a large following. However I am sure my view will be in the miniority, especially with the new book of battles being released later this month. </div>

Final thanks to Juan Marcos for organising the tournament, if it wasn't for these guys putting in all their hard work and precious time into these events, so we can come together to see old friends and making new friends , our hobby would be a lot less enjoyable.</div>

Introduction</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Last summer at my school's May fair I had devised a game based on the popular eighties quiz show "Play your Cards Right" It was good and we had lots of fun doing our "Brucie" impressions, however this fell quite flat due to our School although being British, is located in Spain. After the day was over I started to think of a new game that would be more attractive and draw the "punters" in but use the same type of mechanics of using the playing cards to give the choice of higher or lower to progress along the game. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Being a Wargamer I thought about the type of scenarios that we could use that I had seen before at conventions. There were some on the short list, Dambusters, Charge of the light Brigade for instance but then I realised I could combine my interest of the original Star Wars and the wargame rules "X Wing" by building the trench run from the Original film.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I've always thought that "X wing" were a good set of rules, but the models were quite expensive. In the summer I was over in Montanna, U.S.A and found in a shop Hot wheel models of the X wings and tie fighters at a very cheap price around 5 dollars each. They are a little bit bigger than the Xwing models but with a little paint job they come out really well.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I looked on the internet for some inspiration and decided on using some spare ceramic tiles I had lying around due to ordering too many to make a mosaic a few years earlier and got my milimetres and centimetres mixed up. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I used quite a few things including unused bases, broken up coasters and the grey is a type of cheap foam material which has the advantage of being easy to cut into different shapes. This tile below was my first test tile.</div>

After I sprayed it matt meduim grey. it came out as below which looked pretty good, however there was a problem with the foam sections because the paint just soaked in. Luckily I used a grey foam so it wasnt much of a problem.</div>

The X wing models that were going to go down the trench were mounted on seperate bases, that meant during the game that they would have to be moved individually by hand each move. I wanted to try putting them on wires so it looked like they were actually flying. However the models were too heavy and after a few days of messing around I decided to go back to the drawing board. </div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
After a few weeks I came up with the idea of putting the x wings on a piece of perspex on a track that is glued to the sides. Therefore the side tiles had to be fixed on permantely.</div>

Soon as the moving mechanism was working correctly, the sides were then glued with parts especially pipes parts (sprues) and then sprayed. Also the last tile was the infamous exhuast port, for this I drilled a hole in the tile to give it extra depth.<br />
<br />

<br />
To give the actual surface more depth, I painted the base of the tiles a darker grey. With just a week to spare for the May fair at the school, all the painting was finished. To finish off the outside of the board, I used some spare grey wooden floor panels. With all the cutting and drilling, this seemed to take longer to do than building the Deathstar.<br />

My original idea was to use the cards to advance the X wings up the trench, however early on in the development stage I decided to change to a large 12 sided dice rolled down a ramp. Basically to advance to the first square you need to roll 2 or more, each square you need a higher number until you reach the exhaust port when you need a 11 o 12. Each time you roll less than the aquired score then you lose a X wing. However Luke Skywalker in the last X wing may "use the force" and have one reroll.<br />

These pictures were taken at the start of the day (didnt get chance after the first hour), the game was so popular we didnt get a break all day with a constant supply of rookie Rebel pilots (I managed to get two mouthfulls of paella for my dinner). We kept a record of everybodies dice score plus whoever actually destroyed the Deathstar got an extra 100points. During the day we had about six people who completed the mission and recieved a Certificate, but also the top three winners recieved a X Wing model.<br />

For 2018 it was decided to try to hold four local ADLG tournaments in the Alicante/Murcia region so players did not have to travel far to play the minimum number of tournaments needed to play to qualify for the ranking system. The first one was held in Alicante and it was voted to be an open tournament 200 point 15mm army and any list from the rulebook would be allowed. This I feel is the best option due to restriction in unit types that are allowed or armies, will mean less players. I've seen a tournament advertised this year for only the medieval period that has banned Heavy knights, foot knights and pikes! The ADGL rules have been going for a good number of years now and there is still no meta army that a player can win all the time with, and this is what makes the game appealing. Each type of unit has its strengths and also it weaknesses which I feel is well reflected in the points system and break point system.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Maybe to prove the point there were 14 players who took part in the tournament and all took different armies that were varied in type and ages.</div>

I was looking forward to finally try my Scottish medieval army in a tournament, after much debating on whether to take Heavy spearmen or Mediocre pike I opted for pike. I took an Allied highlander corp but the Medium infantry with bow at 10 points are quite expensive, however they are necessary as the army is a little on the light side for light and mediums troops. so my army was as follows.</div>

On the day of the Tournament in Alicante was also Carnival day, where people dress up in fancy dress all day and have a good time, with this in mind Toni the tournament organiser joked that there would be prize for anyone who dressed as the same as their Army. For a bit of a laugh I managed to borrow a kilt from one of my friends to wear on the day.</div>

To save time on the actual day, the draw for the first game was done and released the day before. We were going to play four games lasting two hours fifteen minutes plus lunch so time was going to be tight, especially as the Spanish are pretty relaxed when it comes to their meal times.<br />
My first game was to be against Felix and his Numidians, This was going to be a toughie as their break point was 29 and it would be hard to pin them down with my slower moving pikes and knights. His army was as follows;<br />

<span style="text-align: center;">After playing quite a few games of ADLG over the last few years I've realised that the placing and knowledge of how terrain effects troops is a very important part of the game. Also your initial deployment can win or in my case lose you a game before you have started.</span><br />

I was defending and Felix chose plain for the type of terrain. To make my flanks harder to turn, I threw for a coast and also a town. The dice gods were unhappy from the start of the day and I got neither, luckily I had a back up plan and opted for two plantations which I diced for my side of the table. Why plantations when you have a large amount of pikes and knights in your army, are you mad? you may ask. However like "Baldrick from Black Adder", I had a cunning plan and wanted hide my allied highlanders near the centre line of the table in ambush, this has a two fold purpose, to make my opposition think that the missing corp is on a flank attack and also if I did throw a one (which does happen on many occasions) then the opposing player would make my inactive allies become active unknowingly getting close to the ambush. With my left flank secure I knew I could advance confidently up to get grips with his main corp of fake legions.</div>

Numidian Elephants were ready to try to make my pikemen flat as Scottish oatcakes (which are definitely not the same as my beloved Potteries oatcakes). So I dismounted my Knights and placed them in the line. As the Numidian approached they triggered my waiting Highlander with some scouting light horse. Know I know why the English adopted longbows and the Scots decided to use very long pointy sticks. The Highlanders let loose with their bows and couldn´t hit a thing. </div>

On my left flank my Highlanders fed up of not hitting anything, threw down their bows and drew their claymores and charged into the gulley in front of them taking out the enemy light troops and securing the flank. The two main bodies advanced steadily until they clashed. Apart from a dismounted Heavy knight unit on the far left of my line which I didnt realise would rout on three cohesions and not four like ordinary foot knights, oh well another lesson learnt. All the rest of my units held their own against the charging Elephants and impetuous troops.<br />

As usual when the real fighting gets going and there is limited time to finish the game, I was too busy trying to break the enemy to take anymore photos. After their initial charge the elephants were like pussy cats and were easy to finish off, routing down their line creating more chaos and damage. My Highlanders charged and finished off the attempted breakthrough on the end of my left line. It wasn't long before the fake legions lived up to their name and broke also causing routs and cohesions to the light infantry that were stuck behind them. Felix tried to break through the plantation on my right flank, but it was too little to late and I was able to pull some units to cover the threat due to my right flank only being threatened by a few pointy sticks thrown by the numerous light horse. On the last turn My Scots went into a "Mel Gibson" blood frenzy and by the end of my last turn I had broken the Numidians comfortably by around 33 points.<br />

I lost the initiative dice off again and Guillermo chose to attack and picked plain terrain. Following my strategy I tried to get a coast to secure a flank, this time I succeeded and put it on my left flank. I failed to roll for a village so picked a plantation to set up my ambush. Guillermo picked a road and a field. There was a bit of discussion about can the road be placed with one side entering the coast. At a previous tournament I had been told it wasn't possible because the coast is not technically a table edge. However Toni the umpire and organiser of the tournament, believed that it was possible. To me this was no problem, there are plenty roads that lead to the coast where I live in Spain and I sure it was the same in medieval times. I did my regular proverbial "balls up" when I tried to place my carefully crafted ambush in the plantation, only to have it pointed out to me that the plantation was in the centre part of the table and ambushes can only be placed on the flanks. However this wasn't to bad a problem as I first thought after making a quick plan B, as Moltke said "no battle plan survives the first contact with the enemy" my plan doesn't even survive the initial deployment.</div>

Even though I had taken mounted Heavy Knights because they were impetuous and maybe harder to control, I had decided to dismount them in deployment even if there wasn't any smelly camels or elephants running around the battlefield. However due to the realisation that when dismounted they went down to three cohesions I went to my earlier plan of using them as a mobile reserve to protect the flanks or plug any gaps in the frontline. </div>

I placed my Highlanders on my left flank facing the cream of the Norman knights, hopefully they would be a deterrent for a flank attack. As usual when I throw for my allies on the first time , I get a 1, actually it has become so common for this to happen to me , I am genuinely surprised when I get two or more. However this time I wasn’t to bothered because it meant the Norman Knights might actually be reluctant in activating them and slow down Guillermo´s flank attack.</div>

Guillermo tried to bring a javelin unit through the woods to threaten my pike block's left flank, they were actually stopped by a light infantry unit who were already disrupted but managed to block the advance until some longbowmen were able to support them and actually rout the Norman javelinmen. Running out of time the Norman knights charged the allied Highlanders on the flank and were soon shot up and the few units that reached the Highlander line was soon dispatched and routed in the rough terrain. The Norman main line was smaller and weaker than my pike block and was soon destroyed as well, meanng that I had won the game. </div>

Winning my first two games was great and put me in second position. However this meant that the opposition was going to get tougher. Just as we got ready to leave the club for our lunch I found out my friend Javi a very experienced player (he has won 10 ADLG tournaments and has come second or third around 8 times), so I knew the next game was going to be tough.</div>

I was elected as the defender and placed a town on my right flank and impassable terrain in the centre of my deployment zone. This gave me two secure flanks, I placed my Highlanders an ambush in the town. Javi advanced his light infantry until he sprang my ambush. In the next move, he managed to get one of his light infantry into the town and behind my Highlander corp. This small unit became a real pain in the backside during the game and was possibly my downfall. </div>

Even though Javi´s light infantry in my town was sandwiched between my Highlander unit and a pikeman unit it was boostered by its general rallying it. Then against all odds the light infantry won again against my infantry routing it. Unfortunately this caused further suffering as both of my units in combat behind the routed unit also lose a cohesion point and are routed aswell. This basically destroyed my right flank and in the next turn my army was broken. As Javi pointed out afterwards, my four units of mounted heavy knights should have been more advanced instead of hanging back and not being involved.<br />
<br />
My loss against meant I had a slim chance with my fourth game to get in the top 3 positions. For my fourth game I played against Eduardo and his Christian Nubian, which I was looking forward to because I have looked a few times in using this army in a tournament. Eduardo's army was composed of the following units although through translation I seem to be 10 points lighter than it should be;<br />

Eduardo won the initiative and chose to defend in the desert to give his camels an advantage. This meant I took the unfamiliar role of he attacker. I was so unfamiliar I had placed a plantation in the middles of the table, still thinking I was defending. Therefore his Light and Meduim infantry had a nice piece of terrain to advance and hide in. To slightly off set my mistake I placed my Highlanders to advance and hold the plantation.</div>

Unfortunately the game was quite a busy one with Eduardo´s cavalry and camelry attempting to get around both flanks and I was only able to take a couple of photos. Basically Eduardo didn´t have the units with strength to destroy my pike units and my pike units couldn´t really get to grips and destroy Eduardo´s medium infantry. Therefore the game ended in a draw with both of us losing 20 breakpoints each.</div>

After giving out the prizes it was on to the raffle (sorteo), there were enough prizes for everyone but I think everybody wanted to win Zak`s archers and knights. As wargamers all know randomness has funny way of actually becoming predictable, and the first name pulled out was Zak`s. Genorously Zak to another prize and not his own, I still didn´t win though.<br />

It was an excellent and friendly tournament and I came fifth so not too bad. Many thanks for Toni in organising it even though he was not able to participate due to the even number of players. Can`t wait for the next one in Alcoy in April. Im still waitng for my fancy dress prize though!<br />

Below is an account of scenario we played just over two years ago, however due to work and so many wargaming projects on the go (plus I kept forgetting my password to get into my blog). I had only half finished my account of the game. </div>

In the Easter Holdays we were able to play the long awaited second part of our Band of Brothers Campaign. I played the game twice, first wih Kev and then the next day after a few minor changes with Steuart. We used the fast playing and fun rules Bolt Action.</div>

Saga Tournament 2017 Historicon </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
You could say this was the least prepared and furthest tournament I have ever entered. Two days before I and my friend Kiefer left for my once in a lifetime trip (now maybe twice) trip to the USA, a passing comment from my friend who had just returned from work in the States led me to find out when Historicon was being held this year. to my amazement it was being held in Fredericksburg in our second week of our holiday when we were staying in Richmond, only an hours drive away. Immediately I found out when the Saga tournament was and sent an email to Jeff the organiser in case there were any places left. Unfortunately I didn't receive Jeff's reply of acceptance until I had began my epic journey of 3 days and five planes to get to our first stop at Billings in Montana. Therefore I hadn't packed my Norman army in case I wasn't going to use them, however Jeff kindly informed me that it was no problem because they had a choice of different factions for us to borrow for the tournament.<br />
<br />
So the big day came and we got up very early to travel up the Interstate 95 to Fredericksburg, arriving half an hour before the start of the competition. After a rather prolonged registration procedure (just take my twenty five bucks, godamn it) we made it to the competition with five minutes to spare. I chose to borrow Anglo Danes from Ralph, another of the organisers, and Kiefer my fellow traveller chose the Irish.<br />
<br />

<br />
The first scenario was "Hostages", each player had three hostages which they had to protect, whilst trying to free their own men who their opponent had captured. My first game was against another Jeff and his Normans. <br />
<br />
My Anglo danes consisted of 2 six men units of hearth guards with dane axes, 2 eight man units of warriors and 1 twelve man unit of levy with slings.<br />
<br />
Jeff's Normans consisted of 1 twelve man unit of mounted hearthguards, 2 four man units of dismounted warriors, 1 unit of eight man unit of warrior crossbow men and 1 twelve man unit of levy archers.<br />
<br />

<br />
I placed one of the hostages with a warrior unit in the small house, on hindsight I should of placed all the hostages in there, oh well, first lesson of the day learnt.<br />
<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgWVxyfYliI683fmzspGmOX70gTxWhRReNaKijdv-aOFCei-vetiLHSG66jpeDWI_eeFyUIkshU4uXAzrsoYefKbSVKAo5gykmrlG-www7W5OU9910440dZU0blm_-Yvzf1Awp0wmHRQJy6/s1600/18.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="640" data-original-width="854" height="478" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgWVxyfYliI683fmzspGmOX70gTxWhRReNaKijdv-aOFCei-vetiLHSG66jpeDWI_eeFyUIkshU4uXAzrsoYefKbSVKAo5gykmrlG-www7W5OU9910440dZU0blm_-Yvzf1Awp0wmHRQJy6/s640/18.jpg" width="640" /></a><br />
<br />
Having never played Anglo Danes before I was pretty new to their battle board. However due to the Normans being my first and most played with faction, I knew what abilities (a lot of shooting little pointy things) I would be facing. Therefore to try negate the shooting arm of my adversary, I used the expensive but effective ability of "Trapped" that places fatigues on three of your enemy units therefore his levy archers were soon exhausted.<br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
With Jeff busy trying to to rest his fatigued units in the first few moves, I decided the best tactic was to attack. However with starting in the woods this took a lot longer than I expected.<br />
<br />

<br />
Organiser Jeff came around when we were half way through our third or fourth turn to say we had ten minutes to finish the game, which came as bit of a shock. Usually in the tournaments in Spain we play for just over two hours, but this tournament we were only playing for an hour and a half which is very short time.<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
This meant we only had time for Jeff to complete his turn, he launched his knights into my hearthguards, luckily the dice gods were actually kindly looking down on me and Jeff lost doublé the amount of figures I did. With no more time for me to have another turn, the game ended with a draw with my Anglo Danes slightly in front with slaughter points. Second lesson learnt, make sure you know how long the game lasts.<br />

Meanwhile Kiefer was enjoying playing with the Irish, it was his first tournament and actually the first time he has played the official Saga game. He was familiar with the mechanics of the game because he has helped me test play my Western Saga variation rules. In fact his Confederate bush whacker faction we played with before was based on the Irish battleboard.<br />

The next game was "Foraging Party" and I was playing against Rob and his Early Saxons. Each player had a wagon full off booty that they had to get off the other player's edge of the table aswell as capturing their opponents wagon.<br />
<br />
Rob's Early Saxons consisted of 2 six man unit of hearthguards, 2 ten man units of warriors, 1 unit of four man unit of warriors. (I think)<br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
Knowing know that the game time was going to be short, I quickly moved forward to take the game to Rob, however one of his warrior units entered the enclosed field in the centre of the table first. My Hearthguards went in to start wielding their dane axes, however I did forget they had dane axes and we resolved the combat as if they were armed with swords. This did come as a blessing however because he used his abililty "Death is Nothing" that meant a third of my hits on his unit would count as automatic hits on my unit. To be fair he didn't realise how rubbish my dice rolling is and I very rarely get over fifty percent of hits anyway, however I did mange to wipe out his unit. <br />
<br />

<br />
The centre enclosed field seemed to be more of a focus than the wagons for some reason and he sent a unit of his hearthguards in to eliminate my Dane axless hearthguard unit. However my wagon was finally over the centre of the table and into enemy territory. For some reason I haven't any photos of the end game, but basically I cleared the enemy warriors in front of my wagon using my warlord and a unit of warriors, but then in my eagness to adavnce my wagon, I left it undefended and Rob attacked it with his Warlord and the remnants of his hearthguard. It managed to fight off the first attack, but he attacked again and caused three hits, the first was automatically cancelled, the second was saved and unfortunately the last wasnt and I lost my wagon. With no time to capture his wagon, which he had prudently kept out of harms way, the game ended. <br />

<br />
On the next table, Kiefer was having loads of fun with his Irish against Picts and actually both players managed to get their wagons off the table. Something I believed almost impossible due to the fact that the tables were a foot wider than the normal sized Saga table we usually play on. In this game he used an abilitiy where he need to roll anything but a six against the Pict Warlord to basically kill him. Now Kiefer's dice rolling is even worse than mine, thats why I like playing him, however you guessed it he managed to roll a six.<br />

After an hours break for dinner we resumed back on time (not something I'm used to in Spanish tournaments). Our final game was the "Singulus Junctus" scenario. In this scenario each warlord is placed on chosen ground and loses if they move off it or are killed. My next player was using my old adversary the Vikings with the special option of Harald Hadrada and his Varangian guard.</div>

Harald won the toss and moved first, advancing his Varangian guard straight over and destroying one of my Hearthguards units with little damage to themselves. <br />

<br />
In the next turn I counterattacked with my Warlord and a warrior unit managing to cut the guard down to two men and make them retreat off the chosen ground. His Varangian Guard attacked again doing more damaging causing my warlord to retreat, his other units including his beserkers had also moved up and with my battle line with more holes in it than a "Arnold Palmers putting range", My Warlord was killed, it was so quick I havn't got any photos of it.. <br />

So with a pretty dismal result of one draw and two losses, I came eigth out of ten players. Although I was rewarded with a 4 point starter army of Anglo Danes as a prize which was very generous (right now I'm just painting them to make an Anglo-Saxon army). Kiefer did well in his first tournament coming seventh, and with finishing early we still had plenty of time to explore the convention and do a little shopping in the bring and buy.</div>

It was a fantastic tournament and very friendly, thanks to Jeff and Ralph for organising, answering any questions for us and making the tournament run smoothly. Also thanks to the other players for making us feel welcome and the games enjoyable, we had loads of fun and hopefully return in the future.</div>

During my time off from writing on my blog, one of the new periods and rules I have started and played in abundance, is the French "L' Art de la Guerre" (ADLG) . In the last two years I have played in quite a few tournaments all over Spain from Malaga to Barcelona with an ever evolving army(s) lists and strategies. This journey to where I am now with the game, I will write in a seperate post but for this one I will just concéntrate on the latest tournament we played in.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This Tournament came as a bit of a surprise when it was announced, due to the fact that nobody actually plays ADLG in the city of Murcia. However Angel who owns the Wargaming Shop "Strategos" in Murcia and in partnership with some of the guys in Alicante. Decided to put on the tournament for the local Wargamers so they could see the merits of the game in action. A bit like when FIFA hosted the Football World Cup in the USA to gain more interest (obviously this was on a smaller scale).</div>

For this Tournament only Ancient armies could be used, no medieval so I went with an Army that I first started gaming these rules with, but lost heavily. The Romans, but with a twist they had Arab Allies as well. Usually Roman units can be expensive in points so there are less units in the Army. making it easier to reach their breakpoint. After the great mistake of taking an elite but very small Roman Army to my first tournament with very poor results. I have always gone with large armies with the máximum of 36 units in a 200 point tournament. After a few changes my army was as follows:</div>

Unfortunately I only managed to take a couple of quick shots of the first game as I was fully concentrating on the game. David's right flank was pretty weak and I was able to take out some of his units including his Elephant.</div>

David had his first kill on my right flank with me going into melee with two of light cavalry against one of his. However my other cavalry faired better pushing his left wing back and letting me gain the high ground. In one turn David lost about 4 or 5 units and it wasn't long after the main bodies clashed that David had reached his Break point and my first game ended in victory.</div>

My next game was against Rafa from Alcoy, also with a Selucid Army, this game was going to be a lot tougher due to him being currently second in the world rankings. I won the initiative so I chose to defend and was able to choose the terrain. It seems Rafa had never come across this before, because he disappeared for a few minutes to fetch his French book to make sure this was possible in all three languages. I had a field and a hill in my sector also once again we had a coast on one side. I usually try to get a coast because if an opponent tries a flanking attack you know for sure where the attack is coming from. Also you can place your baggage train there where it is more secure.</div>

Rafa went first and slowly advanced his Pikes, then to scupper my plans of my two mounted Corps forming a grand manouever around his left flank, I threw a 1 and failed to activate my Arab Allies. Rafa spent next few moves carefully advancing his troops making sure that none of his troops came within 4UD of my Arabs. I also spent several turns sending valuable command points from my commander to attempt to activate them, all to no avail.</div>

I didn't have many command points to use to take advantage of the situation due to my commander having to waste them on trying to get the Arabs activated.</div>

His Elephant and archers were able to advance and get closer to my camp, luckily it is fortified. His archers chased away the rest of my archers and his pikes were getting the better of my legions. Also my flank attack was held up by a single Pike unit. Then disaster struck his lowly archer unit attacked my camp and he threw a six, immediately capturing it and breaking my army's morale. So after two games I had one victory and one defeat.</div>

Javi had moved his Light cavalry within 4UD of my unreliable Roman cavalry and so automatically activating them. Which was lucky because I threw a one for my command points. This was his most vunerable forcé, as long as they didnt move into the field next to them. So I quickly charged to bring them into contact.</div>

On the last turn we were both 2 points away from destroying eachother. I managed to rally 1 unit, but failed on the other. I destroyed another couple of his units breaking his army and in the final combats I managed to hold on just losing one unit, However when we came to count (including several recounts) I had actually lost 26 points and so my army was broken as well. This meant we had drawn to the delight of Miguel who knew that he had secured third place.</div>

This was actually a very good Tournament and even though most of the players were from my club, I played against two new players. The venue was good with lots of other games and tournaments going on in the hall. Also in the foyer/café área all day there was lots of board games being played with people of all ages. Thanks to Angel and Salva for organising it.</div>

Introduction May 2016<br />
<br />
Sorry I haven't published anything on my blog for a while. This was due to a number of things with other projects and work etc taking my time. I found this report half written in my draft from 2014 but thought it would be beneficial to still publish it even if its just for proof that I can actually throw sixes! Hope you enjoy the photos and vague scribblings.<br />

On Saturday 29th of November 2014 we had our second Saga Tournament. As soon as the date was announced I put my name forward. Funnily enough I hadn't had a game of Saga since our last tournament around 18 months ago. I decided this time to play more to my Norman Battle Board strengths and use only archers and mounted knights. Looking for inspiration on the Saga fórum I decided to play with the "William the Bastard" special rules. My army consisted og<br />
<br />
3 points of heartguard armed with bows 12figs<br />
2 points of mounted warriors 16 figs<br />
<br />
I was undecided whether to swap one mounted warrior with a dismounted warrior unit with crossbows.<br />
<br />

We diced off for who paired off with who and for my first game I was against Salva and his Welsh boyos. I was deemed the attacker and although most of his troops hid behind the hill and woods in the centre of the board. One of my archer units ( I had decided to split my archers into two six man units). I threw seven dice, one for each figure and an extra die from a battle die. I could not believe my eyes , I threw all sixes and even after the saving units. Salva had lost six men from a warrior unit. Not a bad start.<br />

The Welsh used a tactic to bring one of my units into their javelin range and my 12 figure strong mounted warrior unit charged forward. The welsh came out of hiding to throw their pointy sticks and killing five of my troops.-<br />

After my failure to get the reserves on in the tournament in Barcelona, I decided to for the moment make my armies from organic and support forces. Even though the forces are more expensive, you are more or less depending on the scenario guaranteed to have all your forces on the table in turn one. </div>

The other French cavalry unit manage to charge the flank of the Austrian Infantry in the enclosed field, also destroying the infantry unit in the breakthrough charge. The lesson for this is I should have had my Austrian cavalry just behind the flank of the infantry to be ready to counterattack any potential attack.<br />

On the Austrian Left flank, the first two assaults by the French battalions was respulsed but the the final third attack with the support of Grand Battery is successful, and destroys the third Austrian battalion, meaning the Austrian Infantry Brigade have to take a forcé morale test and fail and rout leaving the first objective in the French hands.<br />

On the Austrian Right flank, an attack by a French Infantry battalion in line on the Austrian infantry battalion in the enclosed field is a success and having now been forcéd to take the Force Morale test they also fail and rout off the battlefield. This means the Franch attackers are victorious in Turn 3 of the Attackers phase.<br />
<br />
Conclusions;<br />
<br />
The main reason to play this game was to see if you can play with different bases systems and use smoke markers instead of base removal without to much confusión. In my opinión there is no problem, the only time it may be a little confusing is when a unit is in attack column if you place the first smoke marker on the back bases and then it recieves a second casaulty put it on the front bases. This will remind you to that a base is missing on the placing of the second marker when counting for firing. <br />
<br />
I have used the smoke (cotton wool) as markers before in games. It is inexspensive (free if you nick it of your mrs) , It looks good, In Napoleonic times you couldn't have a battle without a lot of smoke. Unlike other type of markers, due to them being placed on the bases they move when a unit move.<br />
<br />
Even though I played this game over a few days, if I played it in one session I would expect it to take about 2 hours.<br />
<br />
I played the Grand battery special rule because I have found them pretty deadly when I have played against them (A bit like flamethrowers in Bolt action). However due to my terrible dice throwing in this game they were helpful but not decisive. The Grand Battery rule will be looked at in depth in a future article.<br />

The guys at Napoleón at War when publishing their rules decided on a unique dimensions for their base sizes. This may be no problem for players who are new to the period, but it means many players who already have their Napoleonic armies based, will not even attempt to play the game, due to not wanting to rebase their figures even if they like how the game works.<br />
<br />
Due to this being a major stumbling block for attracting new players here is my solution:<br />
<br />
The main comercial rules competition for this level of playing, where we are presenting individual battalions, regiments and batteries that I have come across is Lasalle and FOG N, these rules use the same basic basing system and so most people I know, have hundreds or even thousands of figures based for these rule systems. <br />
<br />
If both players are using armies based for Lasalle or FOG N there is no problem, just go to the section below about how to deal with casualties etc.<br />
<br />
Also remember in Napoleonic wars no two units were ever the same size and so if its just a friendly and with the agreement of both players they could play using different base systems. Just visit the section below about how to deal with casualties<br />
<br />
If a NAW based army player is playing against a player based for Lasalle or FOG N follow the procedure below to play an equal game in a competitive enviroment.<br />
<br />
<strong>Infantry</strong><br />
<br />
In NAW Infantry units are comprised of 6 bases 26mm wide and 32mm deep.<br />
<br />
In Lasalle and FOG N normal sized infantry units are comprised of 4 bases 40mm wide and 30mm deep.<br />
<br />
The footprints of each full strength formation are as follows<br />
<br />
NAW Lasalle and Fog<br />
Line 156mm wide by 32mm deep 160mm wide by 30mm deep<br />
Attack column 78mm wide by 64mm deep 80mm wide by 60mm deep<br />
March column 26mm wide by 192mm deep 40mm wide by 120mm deep<br />
Square 78mm wide by 64mm deep 70mm wide by 70mm deep<br />
<br />
<br />

</tbody></table>
<br />
As you can see by the photo and the dimensions above, the actual size of the formations are basically the same with only a few milimeters difference. The only formation that is different is March column formation with the NAW column being deeper. <br />
<br />
In my experience the march column is used less frequently in NAW than Lasalle due to the formation moving the same rate as an attack column unless on road and armies initially deploying further up the table, than in Lasalle. Therefore my solution to represent a March Column with Lasalle bases would be place them in line (usually they would be on a road) but alternate the facing of the bases to represent that they are in march column and not actually in line see illustration below. This gives the march column of 30mm wide and 156mm depth, still 36mm short in depth but I feel not enough to make a great difference.<br />
<br />
If the unit has at least one skirmish base this could be placed at the back of the formation to make up the short fall.<br />
<br />

<br />
The foot prints of the unit fornations are a little bit different between the two rules sets. My solution would be, due to the Lasalle bases being smaller it is posible to place the existing base onto a NAW sized base fixing it temporarily with Bluetac.<br />
<br />
<strong>Artillery</strong><br />
<br />
In NAW Artillery units are comprised of bases 45mm wide and 40mm deep.<br />
<br />
In Lasalle and FOG N Artillery units are comprised of bases 40mm wide by 40mm deep.<br />
<br />
Again not much difference but with the Lasalle base being Little smaller frontage it may make a diffrence to the firing zone when a battery is placed in line, so they may be put on a NAW sized base like the cavalry.<br />
<br />

<br />
<strong>Limber</strong><br />
<br />
Limber NAW Lasalle<br />
Foot Artillery 35mm wide by 120mm deep 40mm wide by 80mm deep <br />
Horse Artillery 35mm wide by 159mm deep 40mm wide by 80 mm deep<br />
<br />
Limbers again are basically markers, but due to combat and target considerations my solution is to add one artillery base to the back of Lasalle sized limber base if it is Foot artillery making it the same length and 2 artillery bases if it is Horse Artillery.<br />

<br />
<br />
Again these can be placed on NAW sized bases with bluetac as a temporary solution.<br />
<br />
<strong>Dealing with Casualties etc</strong><br />
<strong></strong><br />
One of the main problems with using other size infantry bases is the removing bases as casualties. One of NAWs main game mechanism is that when you lose a base it is removed.The idea for this there is there are less markers cluttering up the table. <br />
<br />
This however can créate problems in mantainng the correct formation for the unit and when bases are missing for that particular turn, having to remember that the bases that have been removed are still accounted for, when firing and charging in the same phase or turn.<br />
<br />
Also many players spend alot of time and money on their figures, so they would like to see them on the table as long as posible. <br />
<br />
Therefore my solution when using other bases, is this;<br />
<br />
Use markers to note any base losses, personally I use a piece of cottonwool as a marker (see photo). It is cheap, aesthetic (looks like smoke) can be placed on a base so will be moved when the base is moved. Also it is also useful to note placing the second smoke marker on a unit in attack column that notes that it can only fire 2D6 or 4D6. <br />
<br />
For infantry units if they recieve four smoke markers the unit is lost. For cavalry or artillery units, if there more smoke markers than half the bases in the unit then the unit is lost.<br />

<br />
If a NAW based army is playing against another rule based army , I suggest both players use smoke markers to avoid confusión.<br />
<br />
At the moment I am test playing a NAW based French army agains a Lasalle based Army, will let you know the results next week.<br />
<br />
Im sure knowing how Wargamers love collecting figures, that when they decide to collect a new army, after trying out these excellent rules. They will base it permanently for NAW ( I am half way through painting my NAW Prussian army)<br />

<br />
I have been playing Napoleón at War for over 12 months, I have played in two tournaments and quite a few friendly games to be pretty familiar with the rules without looking too much at the rulebook, even if I havn't completely mastered of how not to lose.<br />
In the next few weeks and months, I am hoping to put together a series of articles on how to play Napoleón at War,and also a few solutions for the stumbling blocks of why more people are not playing these excellent rules. <br />
<br />
Some of these percieved problems I have heard commented from dissatisfied players are listed below:<br />
<br />
Having to rebases (unique base size).<br />
Musketery is to powerful .<br />
Grand Battery special rule is too powerful and not historical.<br />
Overstrength should be represented with extra bases to be taken in consideration when firing and combat<br />
Bricole movement is too flexible.<br />
There should be a Discipline Test for the defender initially when facing a charge .<br />
Reorganisation move should be for the defenders to move out of the ZOC of the attackers not the other way round.<br />
<br />
The first article will be about people not wanting to rebase to see the article click here http://wargaminginthesun-phil.blogspot.com.es/2014/09/napoleon-at-war-variations-part-1-base.html<br />

A few weeks ago I was invited to a Tournament of NAW in Barcelona, this came with impeccable timing because my youngest daughter was starting university there, so we could kill two birds with one stone, so to speak.<br />
<br />
The event was the second NAW tournament in a year and had changed venue to a Little town, North of Barcelona called Montmelo and was hosted by the kind fellows from the Ludus Historiae. The venue came with its own free parking and was bigger than the hall we used before in Gava. Unfortunately due to it being a Bank holiday weekend in Barcelona, there were quite a few players that could not make it . In the end there was six of us , three French armies, two British and one Austrian<br />
<br />
This time I wanted to play British but not wanting to defend all the time. I decided to go with a Heavy Cavalry Brigade with all my other forces being in reserves.<br />
<br />
My 1500 points Heavy Cavalry Division consisted of;<br />
<br />
Organic<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
1 Heavy Cavalry Brigade of 3 British Heavy Dragoon Regiments</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Reserves</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
1 British Infantry Brigade of 3 line Battalions and 1 Light Battalion</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
1 British Guard Brigade of 2 Guard Battalions</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
1 Brunswick Infantry Brigade of 3 line Battalions</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
1 Brunswick Hussar Regiment</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
1 Brunswick Horse Artillery</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
The list was a bit of a gamble due to having only one forcé starting on the table at the beginning of the games. But with my terrible dice throwing I was sure I would get the reserves on quite quickly. Also it was the only British list which you can attack with.<br />
<br />
The first game was against Eloi's French Infantry Division and was the scenario, "Attack on a prepared position" from the rule book.<br />
<br />
On turn one, one of my cavalry regiments charged a infantry in line. Eloi decided to stand and fire, I succesfully rode down both of his skirmishers and his regiment fired. He managed to get one hit and you guessed it , I rolled a one and lost a base, I then failed my unfavourable Elan test and so fell back. If I was able to charge into combat I probably would have eliminated two infantry battalions and exhausted one of his forces straight away. Instead my cavalry limped away. <br />

With the French centre and left flank being kept busy with my Brunswick reinforcements, on turn 5 my two Infantry support battalions charge the French and rout them. Also my cavalry finally charge the French dragoons after a stand off and rout them off the field. Afterwards they wheel and threaten the flank of the French Infantry.</div>

There was quite a few lessons learnt from this loss, one was independent cavalry regiments are very weak. I lost my Brunswick Hussars in the final turn. It was either being blasted by the French Artillery, or charge some French Hussars. I chose to charge and lost with the unit being eliminated.</div>

After the first game we left the venue to go for lunch. It was then I remembered that when my Heavy cavalry went into Close combat they have an advantage (2D6) for being brave and with both opposing cavalry brigades being Battle cavalry they would cancel each other out. If I had remembered that during the game I would have charged earlier on and avoided the stand off. After a lovely meal with good company we returned back to the venue.</div>

My second game was the third scenario in the book, Rearguard. I was playing against Jose Luis and his French Light Cavalry División, as we both had Agressiveness of 3 we had a dice off to see who was the attacker, unfortunately I lost and was the defender. With only only my Heavy cavalry Brigade on the table I placed two regiments far up the board to keep the French away from the Objectives and kept one regiment in reserve. Unfortunately the Jose Luis could deploy where he wanted and deployed his Grand Battery in front of my cavalry.</div>

Luckily both my forward regiments just about manage to survive the artillery onslaught. There was no way I would be able to charge the cavalry, the only option would be to retreat out of the fire zone and attempt to rally.</div>

A French light brigade advanced around my left flank and captured the first objective, so I advanced my reserve regiment to contest the objective. I made a mistake of trying to rally my other two regiments instead completely moving out of the fire zone of the Grand battery and lost them to the Grand Battery. With the special rule of not being able to roll for reserves until turn three I had no chance of surviving and lost in turn two. </div>

My last game was against Bob's French Infantry División. The scenario was flank attack, I was the attacker so decided to use my cavalry to clear his left flank for my reinforcements to come on. Bob decided that keeping his infantry in line and firing was a good option, however my Cavalry finally lived up to their reputation and began riding down the french infantry for the fun of it and quickly destroyed two of his brigades. Bob, a little war weary from a whole day playing a new set of rules conceded defeat, and I won without my reinforcements appearing, a total reversal of my second battle. </div>

I really enjoyed this tournament and of course the excellent company . I definitely will be there in Febuary for the next tournament to attempt to reclaim the title for Alicante. I also learnt a few lessons;</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
1) Have your forces as organic and support, they may cost more but will start on the table on turn 1.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>

2) If you do decide to choose a forcé that is reserve, make it cavalry so it can move quicker into the action.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
3) With equal points it's alot harder to attack than to defend.</div>

On a little side note, there was a few small issues that came up from the players that were experienced with playing Napoleonics but were new to playing the NAW rules. I know from experience you can't please all the people all of the time and everybody has their own opinión of how a Napoleonic battlefield should feel. However to attract more players to this great set of rules I have a view ideas that I will be writing in different articles on my blog in the next few weeks in the section on NAW rule variations. Will keep you posted</div>

A few months ago me and my friend Steuart, decided that we would do a series of scenarios based on the great tv series "Band of Brothers." Due to my having the figures already in 15mm before I discovered the rules "Bot action", we used them and kept the measurement for shooting and movement the same as 28mm. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Steuart played the U.S playing the 1st Platoon of Easy company using the historic strength and organisation of the Platoon rather than a point system. I played the German forces that were spread out over the battlefield but were entirely unknown to the the U.S player and were not activated until discovered by the paratroopers, also there were a few surprises thrown in as well.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The U.S mission is to lead his Platoon from the landing zone and secure the village of Saint Come-du-Mont and to blow up the highway bridge over the river Douvre. The Intelligence Corp had informed them that there were a few German squads of mixed abilities in the área and also a pillbox that due to being well camouflaged they have failed to locate. The Platoon would be transported by 2 Dakota C47s, The Jump would be at night at around 02.00 a.m, also they must careful there would be other platoons landing in the área so they would have to watchout for friendly fire. </div>
<br />
U.S force consists of as follows<br />
<br />
Platoon HQ 1 officer with SMG, 1 NCO with SMG , 4 Pvts with rifles. <br />
<br />
Mortar Squad 60mm Mortar 6 Pvts with Rifles<br />
<br />
1st Rifle Squad 1 Sgt with SMG, 8 Pvts with Rifles, 2 Pvt with LMG, 1 Cpl with SMG<br />
<br />
attached 2 Pvts with Bazooka. Squad also include antitank grenades<br />
<br />
2nd Rifle Squad 1 Sgt with SMG, 8 Pvts with Rifles, 2 Pvt with LMG, 1 Cpl with SMG<br />
<br />
attached 2 Pvts with Bazooka. Squad also include antitank grenades<br />
<br />
3rd Rifle Squad 1 Sgt with SMG, 8 Pvts with Rifles, 2 Pvt with LMG, 1 Cpl with SMG<br />
<br />

The mechanic we used to simulate the parachute drop was the old method of dropping tissue paper over the drop zone, each piece of paper had a number on it to correspond to the actual figures. We used two boxes to simulate the two different Dakotas.</div>

The first Dakota "flew" over and most of the paratroopers landed in the correct zone. If the paper landed in rough terrain or the road, then Steuart had to throw 1D6, if the score was 1 then the paratrooper was injured badly and removed from the game. If a paper landed in wáter or marsh then a 1D6 was thrown and if a 1 or 2 was thrown the paratrooper was removed fron the game. If the paper fell off the table a 1D6 was throw each new turn and they would be allowed to enter if the result was the same or less than the current turn number.</div>

Because Bolt Action uses dice to give activation to groups of soldiers. I introduced a Regroup phase where the dispersed paratroopers would move to their NCOs. This meant when any U.S Squad was activated it could only move or fire etc with the troops within 1 inch of the NCO. </div>

On the batlefield there was 12 black plastic squares all labelled underneath with either a German forcé or other things that could be triggered into action by spotting moving paratroopers or paratroopers being able to spot them. The first things discovered was a herd of cows and a lorry full of supplies. During the regrouping phase a squad of Obstruppen spotted some running Paratroopers and came out of the house they were billeted in. They killed a couple of Paratroopers only then to be fired on by a LMG that had landed very close to the house. </div>

The 3rd Squad carry on with their flank move and Steuart declares an advance and fire move on a black square ahead and in the open. We work out the firing and the target figures are placed and fire back. Next Steuart then uses a whole squad to fire on the target, this he does with devastating affect with only two surivors. It is now I ask him to look closely at the figures that I had placed before. They are a lost squad from another división commanded by their own Company Commander Dick Winters who had landed off the table . luckily Winters has survived the friendly fire, but not he is not very impressed with his own troops,</div>

The HQ officer charges heroically to the bridge. Because he has a SMG he throw 2D6 and does extremley well, getting a 5 and a 6 killing two German Paratroopers. All the German paratroopers apart from the LMG have SMGs which I need one 5 or 6 to kill the officer with 10 dice or I lose the combat and the game. I managed to get about 3 hits and the U.S Officer is cut down and the game, set and match point for Steuart was gone. </div>

This was a great game with plenty of cinematic moments. It had been a few months since my last game of Bolt Action and Steuarts only second game, but we managed to finish the game in the alloted time. The rules for nightfighting were fun and didn't really slow down gameplay. We might have not actually got all the rules right but as it was a scenario and not a points or tournament game, it didn't seem to matter. Next Game will be Brecourt Manor, I just have to get my hands on some 105mm artillery.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I've had the NAW rulebook for a couple of years now , well two rule books actually because I kept winning them at Lasalle Tournaments but hadn't really looked at them a great deal due to the different basing system. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It was only after Kevin decided that Lasalle wasn't for him and had wanted to know if I would mind trying NAW with him as soon as he had painted his French Army. That was over a year ago, Kev finally finished painted his army and we played half a game which had to come to an abrupt end due to my underbuild flooding. (My fault entirely because I had switched off the pump so the noise wouldn't get on our nerves). Only for my wife to discover all the water when she started wading through it with our cups of tea whilst we were sitting there oblivious to it all, carefully reading our rulebooks. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Although we only managed half a game, we both liked it especially the special rules that give the armies their distinct flavour, which is certainly lacking in Lasalle. We didn't play another game due to playing Bolt Action and still playing Lasalle at the club with the other guys. Then towards the end of last year the guys in Barcelona announced they were changing the annual Napoleonic Wargame Tournament from using the Lasalle Rules to the Napoleon at War rules. Kevin jumped at the chance straight away and asked if I would play some practice matches with him. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
After the first game I was hooked, although we went slow getting to grips with the mechanics there was hardly looking up of charts but what was the best thing was that it felt like a Napoleonic battle should be, without getting to complex. I then decided that I would enter the competition as well. At first I wanted to enter with my British but because there were more coalition players than French, I volunteered to swap over to the French.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
My French Army was from the Hundred Year War book, it consisted of</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Young Guard Division 1500 points</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Organic </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
1 Young Guard Brigade 4 infantry Units & 1 Artillery</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Support</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
1 Light Cavalry Brigade 2 Light Cavalry units (1 understrength)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Reserve</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
1 Infantry Brigade 7 Conscript Units all under strength</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
My Conscript Brigade officer valeur was upgraded</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I was attracted to the Young Guard due to it having artillery included in its force therefore harder for the other player getting 1 VP by killing a single artillery unit. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I used the Light Infantry ability of the Young Guard to give all my conscripts a extra skirmisher base. However this meant that now all my infantry units were understrength. In the three practice matches we played this didn't seen to matter as we could only manage one attack and then no time to rally.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We drove up to Barcelona from Alicante on the Friday (took about 5 hours) and stayed in a Hotel so we would be fresh for Saturday.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
There was twelve of us playing in the tournament, six French and six Coalition. The tournament was to be umpired by a couple of guys from the Man at War business that own NAW. So there shouldn't be any problems with rule intreptations. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
My first Game was against David who was also quite new to the game. He had a Russian Army containing:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
2 Heavy artillery unit that could form a Grand battery. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
2 Infantry Brigades of 3 units each.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
1 Light Cavalry Brigade of two units</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
1 Cossack unit</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and I think a Heavy Cavalry Brigade of 2 units</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The first game was the Fight at dusk scenario. Myself and Kevin had played this game as one of practice matches, so we were quite familiar with it. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I was the attacker, so David deployed his Vanguard of infantry around the village. I chose to use my reserve Infantry as my Vanguard and decided to just go for his objective.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
His other infantry Brigade appeared on the flank of the village and his Grand Battery covered his objective.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I then bought on my Young Guard to attack his right flank and hopefully catch him in a pincer movement.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
His Grand Battery fired on to my conscripts and severly reduced a couple of battalions. My other conscripts battalions began to move away from the fire zone, the attack on the objective came to a halt.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
My Young guard Artillery managed to set a enemy occupied building on fire and in the next turn a Young Guard Battalion unit assaulted it only to be repulsed. Then one of my conscript battalions had a go . This time they managed to clear the Russians out of the house.</div>

David rolled for his reserves on turn one and managed to get a one which also meant Dusk had arrived in the first turn. This was a blessing because it meant his Grand battery could only fire cannister so it had lost most of its threat. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
On turn three my reserve cavalry finally arrived, unfortunately on this scenario you have to dice where they come onto the table. I threw a five meaning they came on my far right, which wasnt a ideal position because his cavalry were in that area and were able to attack. I could not fall back because it would mean they would retreat off the table and be eliminated so I went into combat. Unfortunately I came off worse and lost a unit and so my cavalry force was exhausted and David had won his first VP. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Due to a few discussions on the rules we only managed to get up to turn 4 and time had run out. The game ended in a draw with David gaining extra points for exhausting one of my forces.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
At this point, I have to mention Kevin's first game on the adjacent table, I know the rules are classed as fast play but he must hold the world record for winning a game, as it only took him five minutes.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
His opponent Josep Maria with his Austrian Army had mistakenly placed his objective near the middle of the table and his vanguard at the back of the table. All Kevin had to do was advance his cavalry up to the objective and game over. After making a quick note of the points won, they then carried playing on and the now renamed "the unfortunate General Josep Maria" lasted for another three turns before losing again.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
My second game was against "the unfortunate General Josep Maria" so I was feeling pretty confident although it was me who had made a mistake . The scenario was a game I hadn't played before called Flank attack. I opted to be the attacker once again.</div>

For the first time in playing NAW, I threw a one on turn one for my reserves to come on. Actually I wanted them come on a bit later because I hoped to pin most of his army with my Young Guard, but their was a problem. The mistake I had made was that my Conscript Brigade had 7 Battalion and with a Austrian Battalion positioned in the middle of each flank, my brigade was too large and could not physically fit on either flank to be able to come on in one go. Like I said this wasn't a great set back at the moment because I was planning for them arrive on turn three.</div>

Unfortunately my Young Guard's first attack was repulsed and because they were out shot in the firefight due to them being in column two battalions ran away.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I moved my cavalry brigade to support a new attack by the Young Guard. This time I approached in line to make my musket fire more effective. It worked and I managed to eliminate a Austrian Battalion. With my cavalry moving across , the Austrians had no threat to their left flank and centre, so Josep Maria moved them of his "Pratzen Heights" to reinforce his right flank. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This was the moment and I saw my chance, he had left his other objective behind the hill unguarded so I advanced a cavalry unit in the movement phase and support move twenty four inches to capture the it. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The other objective was still being contested and I needed to eliminate a Austrian Infantry Battilion to do this. It was in front of my artillery so luckily I threw enough dice to kill two bases and eliminate the unit. Now both objectives were mine and I had won with one initial phase left. It truly was victory grasped from the jaws of defeat.</div>

The Tournament was supposed to be three games but with the first two rounds taking longer than expected, the organisers deemed there was not enough time for the last round. We still had nearly two hours of game time, so I played a quick friendly game with Alex and his British Army. As we were playing, they gave out the prizes and first Prize went to Kevin, I just missed out on the prizes coming in fourth place. Which means our club in Alicante has won the tournament three years in a row. </div>

In conclusion, yet again another enjoyable tournament and thanks to the organisers and sponsers with special thanks going to the NAW guys for coming all the way from Murcia to umpire and answer all our questions . Also there were plenty of other Napoleonic demonstration games going on in the hall and trade stands. Unfortunately both my games went to the maximum times so I didn't get much time to have a look around.<br />
<br />
The two guys from NAW as well as umpiring had put on a demostration game with their own figures which did look superb. I have a few boxes of NAW Prussians I had been given as prizes at Lasalle Tournaments before and I thought they looked a little to big to mix with my normal figures. However after seeing this demo game, this year, one of my projects is to paint and base a Prussian NAW army hopefully to use in the tournament in Barcelona next year.Philhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03052253207906671769noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7306928686732469277.post-53785860250654307162013-12-28T14:59:00.001-08:002013-12-29T07:24:02.863-08:00Bolt Action Tournament Alicante 2013<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

For about a year I have been thinking about returning to the period where I started in wargaming all those years ago, World War 2. Flames of War just didn't look right to me with loads of tanks lined up in a row etc, due to lack of space on the table top. When my club announced they were going to hold a Pachanga (friendly) Bolt Action Tournament, I decided it was time to have a go. I went for the Burma theater mainly I have always liked this era and also if I didn't like Bolt action , I had already another system (crossfire) I could fall back on. </div>

I shouldn't have worried, Once I had read the rules and watched a few demo games on YouTube, I knew it was going to be a good game, I played my first game a few weeks back against Kevin´s U.S marines. It was a great game and we hardly had to look at the charts (although we still did a few things wrong). Last Saturday I played against a friend from work, it was his first ever wargame and we both had a great time . For the tournament I decided to take my Chindits because I needed a few more Japanese to make a 1000 point list . After my practice game with Kevin , I decided due to my Chindits having no tanks, I would double up on my heavy weapon teams and have 2 Platoons. I made a mistake of thinking you could have 2 free artillery observors.</div>

In the centre I had a problem with an enemy flamethrower team who came around the corner of the house and began to burn one of my infantry units, who luckily survived and stood their ground. However they did receive five pins. In the next turn I had to choose weather to fire or charge, I think I took the wrong action and fired, I past the morale test but with four pins already on the unit my shooting wasn't good enough to get rid of the pesky flame thrower. In the next turn he managed to finish off my unit.</div>

In the last couple of turns I managed to get two flanking units off the board. But the problem was I hadn't read the victory conditions properly and didn't know how many points the defender received for killing my units. If I had realised I would have been more conservative with commiting sucide charges with small teams, to try and stop the flamethrower in the centre. In the end the game ended in a draw with eight victory points each.</div>

My second game was against Ronin and his Waffen SS Army. This scenario was top secret and so the objective was placed in the middle of the table. This time I carefully read the misión victory conditions. Realising that I wouldn't lose any points by losing units I decided to go for it and placed my Infantry units in the centre to charge down the road to try to get to the objective first.</div>

I fired with all my units and weakened the SS unit so I attacked and once again captured the objective. However this was the last turn, because we had run out of time. Which was a pity because it was becoming an interesting game. On a side note I tried to kill his Stug with one my Piat teams they moved 6 inches towards the tank set up there PIAT and fired. Unfortunately they turned out to be 13 inches away from the Stug and out of range (theres no pre-measuring in Bolt action). So the missile flew in the air and landed in an inch in front of the tank.<br />

For the third game, I played against the opponent who was on the closest to me on points. This turned out to be Coronel Bambu with his British Comando Army. We played the "Hold the line" scenario and I was the defender.</div>

His main attack came on my left flank, I had a sniper in a building that was able to kill a NCO of one of his infantry squads before he was killed by the cannon fire of the Cromwell tank. With no serious threat on my right and centre flank. I was able to concéntrate on defending my left flank objective. At the end of the time limit I still had all the objectives under my control and so won the game.</div>

One of the players, Fran, brought his U.S Armoured force. Normally this would not be allowed in a normal Bolt Action Tournament, but due to it being a friendly tournament there was no problem the more the merrier. It contained 3 Shermans, 2 Half Tracks and 14 Marines. The game he was playing next to me looked like he wasn't having much luck. I asked him after the tournament about how he got on . It seemed the lack of activation dice was a major part of his downfall, also his opposition were able to get lots of pins on his tanks. Quite surprisingly he was defeated in all his three games which meant he finished with zero points.<br />
<br />
It shows what a good game Bolt Action is , you don't need to pick a so called "uber" force to win games and tournaments. Just pick an army you really like to paint and collect and with sound tactics and a bit of fortune from the dice Gods you can beat any army. <br />

The thing I like about Bolt Action is its a fun quick game with plenty of cinematic moments in the game. I am already thinking about other Armies to collect and play. Also the system can be easily changed to other ages and I am definetely going to be writing a variation for the Plain Indian Wars. As well as using most of the system for ACW gaming.<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
Everybody had a great time, and we will be definitely organising a competitive tournament in the near future. Maybe next time though I will be taking my Japanese or maybe Polish Paratroopers or Hmmmmmm.<br />

</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
On the 19th November in Alicante we held our annual Lasalle Tournament. In the end there was eight players after two players having to drop out due to work and family commitments. We were going to play with one support and have three games using the normal set up and winning conditions as laid down in the rules. For the system for working how many points we had after each game we used the SUM 20 rule.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I have a love hate relationship with the Lasalle rules, I like the simplicity of the rules but there are a few major things that happen due to the rules that I personally feel do not reflect the tactics of the time. A few months ago I decided to try out the Austrian Infantry División with linear tactics, there were a number of reasons for this.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
1) Due to the units being large, I`m more confident in standing and firing when an enemy unit is attacking me. This the main thing for me, because I can fire my muskets more often which feels more like a Napoleonic game. Instead of retreating and then attacking in the next move.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
2) Using an army using linear tactics who can only charge when in line is quite challenging especially when attacking.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
3) You get nine or seven large infantry units if you are attacking or defending respectively.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
My first game was against Kevin, who had kindly stepped in when somebody had to drop out at the last minute. When I said I have a love hate relationship with Lasalle, Kevin has a hate hate relationship with the rules, the last time he played in a friendly tournament he vowed never again and sold his Austrian army (to me). So it was very good of him to give up his day to help the other guys out at the club.</div>

By turn twelve Kevin had reached his breaking point and managed to hold on to turn nineteen where he failed his morale roll. Therefore it was 18 points to me and 2 points to Kevin. The first game went right up to the time allowed so I only managed to get a few photos of the other battles.</div>

Round two and I was playing against Juan Marcos and his Ottomans, we both wanted to defend, but I lost the dice off and became the attacker. Juan Marcos deployed first and used a stream to bolster his defence. <br />

It is quite tricky to attack using linear tactics but the important thing is to get as near to the enemy as fast as posible, luckily Juan marcos had sited his artillery on a flank where I wasn't attacking.</div>

I was holding my Hussars back in reserve waiting for his reserve cavalry to arrive, but Juan Marcos sent a couple of irregular units of infantry over the stream and into the woods. It was opportunity too good to miss, so I charged into the woods with my cavalry. The first enemy unit was destroyed. </div>

I had deployed my artillery and a unit of hussars on the Ottoman left flank, these had soon destroyed one Ottoman unit and were bombarding the other units. To the front my infantry had finally reached the enemy, but the first attack was beaten back, however there were plenty of enough waves of infantry behind the first one.</div>

Sadly we had come to end of the alloted time and the game was declared a draw which was a pity because I was sure If we had gone the full number of turns we would have had more of a decisive result hopefully in my favor. The score was 12 points to Juan marcos and 8 point to myself. </div>

After a quite awful meal at a local restaurant, which I dont think we will be going back any time soon. We eventually arrived back at the club for the final round. I was paired off with my old adversary Jose and his French conquest army.<br />

Using my two ridges to hide my troops, I realised Jose was going to try to combine his infantry and cavalry into multiple attacks. So a little too late I adjusted my position to allow my cavalry into the frontline. </div>

Unfortunately I had no room to maneuver so my all cavalry had to charge two units each. Although I came worst off in the combat, Jose did not manage to take advantage of this and his attack began to falter.</div>

To give Jose something else to think about, I sent two Infantry batallions around his left flank. With his attack stalling in the centre and neither of us anywhere near our breakpoint time had run out and the game ended in a draw. With 12 points to me and 8 points to Jose. </div>

On the next table Kevin managed to win the dice off to see who would defend. Meaning Javi´s Spanish would have to uncharacteristically attack. Kevin placed the stream once again to slow the Spanish advance. Even though Javi managed to get his irregular cavalry over the stream and behind the French lines. By the end of the game, surprisingly neither player lost a single unit. This game also ended in a draw therefore Javi gained 12 points and 8 points to Kevin.</div>

After a quick barbecue we resumed our Zulu Day with our second battle, Rorkes Drift. The last time we had played this game was January 2012, but I had few ideas how to improve it. I had converted my original barricades into stonewalls for my Gettysburg game, so with being on summer holiday I decided to make new ones. Also I revamped my hospital and storehouse to appear more accurate. <br />

The Zulus were split up into 4 regiments of a hundred figures on ten bases, each regiment was placed on different sides of the garrison. Kevin changed allegiance to the Zulus, so four of us commanded one Zulu Regiment each. To stop the Zulus making co-ordinated attacks and potentially massacring the British in their first attack I used a rule that each Zulu regiment had threes stages before they attacked, they were ;</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
the Zulu player had to roll 1D6, 1-3 the level stayed the same, 4-5 the level changed up one step, 6 the level changes up two levels. So when the Regiment is on Chanting a 4-6 means they charge. </div>

The first to start chanting were Luis´ Zulus, I expected the British players to reinforce this threat but they didn´t move any of their figures. Once again I put on the Zulu film for effect , I know there are quite a few inaccuracies but I never tire in watching this great film. The Zulus charged the hospital and wrapped around the barricades, however they made little impression, apart from killing and wounding the gallant defenders at the barricades in front of the hospital verendah. Luis´Zulus skulked back to his line to rest and form up. Each Regiment had five charges in them before they gave up and went back to their kraals.<br />

The next Zulus to charge were Kevins , the problem for him was his Zulus had to climb a few fences and walls to get to the barricade. Quite a few of Zulu were killed by the defenders firing from in the Hospital</div>

Now the barricade in front of the hospital was unmanned, so it was easier for them to cross over and reach the front doors.</div>

When I revamped my buildings, I decided to fix the roofs on, so figures could fight on them in true Michael Caine style. To make it more interesting I made simple floor plans of the building where we could recreate the struggle inside, In the above photo the Zulus have broken into the side door and killed the defenders inside the room, Fortunately for the other defenders, its a dead end, so they have to go back out and try their luck at another door. <br />

Kevin´s attack had finished, but due to great throwing of the dice (to kill a British Soldier you need throw a six) the south barricade has only 2 men and 1 wounded left. At this point I thought the game was going to finish quite early.</div>

In the last attack, Lt Chard was wounded, so he visited Surgeon Reynolds and his dog, in the Hospital. However unlike the film this had a different ending. Jose who was playing Surgeon Reynolds, threw a 1 meaning that Chard had died whilst being treated, much to the anguish of Javi who was controlling Chard.</div>

This was a great game to play, plenty of action and twist and turns.

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Last month I decided to put on Zulu Day for a few of my wargaming buddies, I planned on playing the Battle of Isandlwana in the morning and after a Barbecue, we would play Rorkes Drift in the afternoon. In the end there was seven of us playing and everybody arrived on time.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
On the Zulu side there was myself controlling the centre, Miguel the right horn and Luis the left horn. On the British side, Jose controlled the cavalry, Javi the left flank and centre, Angel the right flank and artillery and Kevin was in control of Durnford`s column. Before the game started the Zulus had to decide on their off table position, waiting to be discovered by the British scouts. They would only be triggered to start the attack when the main Zulu force, the chest and loins were found. To add a little background atmosphere, I also put on the DVD "Zulu Dawn".</div>

Jose sent out his cavalry at 7.00 a.m with two units in the middle and the other to units at the far end of the table. Unfortunately for the Zulus the Natal Carbineers headed straight towards where the Zulu main body was hiding . After 2 quick moves Jose threw a six and his troops discovered the mainbody triggering the attack to begin, a lot earlier than the real battle. </div>

The Zulu advanced rapidly with the British mounted troops firing and retreating in front of them. To represent the ammunition rules, I had a small box for each British unit with homemade plastic bullets in them (Wall plugs) I was going to paint to make them look more realistic, but I had run out of time. Each time the unit fired the player had to give me a bullet, when the unit`s ammunition reached a certain point they had to send a runner to get more ammo. </div>

</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The game worked out very well, the Zulu´s were found a lot quicker than I expected but this was something that always happen when its random mechanism. The ammunition mechanism worked very well and it was good watching the players getting worried when they started scratching around their ammo boxes for their last cartridges. They only problem was probably the Quartermaster was too stingy with his supplies, and I might have to adjust the table for next time. The Shooting rule worked ok, but I feel it still needs a little improving and I will probably run through the game again a couple of times in the next two weeks to get that aspect better.</div>

Last Saturday we played our largest recreation of a historic battle when Javi kindly organised the Battle of Wagram. Six of us were there at the start of the game Javi took the Austrian right flank, I was commanding the Austrian centre and Miguel was in charge of the Austrian left flank and Vanguard. On the French side Jose commanded the right flank, Francois was in charge of the centre and Salva the left flank. Dani came later in the morning to take command of the French Reserve Cavalry. </div>

The game was going to last for 30 turns and was played on a table measuring 300 cm by 180cm. After the description and photos of the battle I will list the Orders of battle and the special rules we used. </div>

My 1st corp reach the stream with one of my Austrian Infantry units crossing over to the other side. The inital plan was to advance all the 1st Corps over the stream but Salva managed to advance his French cavalry a lot quicker than I had thought and I didn't want my infantry stranded in open terrain.<br />

The French start their attack but curiously even though they have cavalry support they do not use it.<br />

The last turn and the scores were evenly poised with the Austrians 6 points ahead , If in the final attack on Baumersdorf the French captured it they would win by 1 point. The French threw their attacking dice and had 8 hits, we needed 4 or more hits with 11 dice. I rolled the dice and managed to get 5 hits therefore once again repulsing the attackers and winning the game.<br />

<strong>Special Scenario Rules</strong><br />
<br />
The terrain is dry and without rain.<br />
<br />
The game lasts 30 turns<br />
<br />
Both armies deploy simultaneously. French move first.<br />
<br />
<strong>Rule 1</strong><br />
<br />
Napoleón can repeat all recovery tests on units within 4BWs and one of these units can have a modifier of +2.<br />
<br />
<strong>Rule 2</strong><br />
<br />
Archduke Charles can repeat all recovery tests on units within 2BWs.<br />
<br />
<strong>Rule 3</strong><br />
<br />
The unit of French Imperial Guard cannot be more tan 6BWs away from Napoleón.<br />
<br />
<strong>Rule 4</strong><br />
<br />
Two units of French Young Guard can be placed under the command of another General, but must stay under this different command for the rest of the game.<br />
<br />
<strong>Rule 5</strong><br />
<br />
Artillery cannot deploy further forward than its máximum movement allowance.<br />
<br />
Artillery cannot deploy within 4 BWs of any enemy unit.<br />
<br />
Limbered artillery cannot block a retiring enemy unit.<br />
<br />
<strong>Rule 6</strong><br />
<br />
Squares may fire 1D6 per side in the same turn.<br />
<br />
<strong>Rule 7</strong><br />
<br />
French Infantry in march column may fire 1D6 to the front. Can charge at half dice in combat from a distance of 4BWs.<br />
<br />
<strong>Rule 8</strong><br />
<br />
Austrian Reserves<br />
<br />
The moment that a French unit is within 2BWs of the village of Leopoldau, the Austrian player throws 2D6 . The result will determine which turn the Austrian 6th Corps will appear. If the turn on the 2D6 has already been reached it will appear at the end of the next turn.<br />
<br />
If no French forces are within 2BWs of Leopoldau by turn 6, then the Austrians automatically roll the 2D6.<br />
<br />
<strong>Rule 9</strong><br />
<br />
Sub commanders and commanders may only command units in their Corps, C-in-C may command any units.<br />
<br />
<strong>Rule 10</strong><br />
<br />
Any unit of French Cavary found within the command radius of Lasalle will be considered in command although not if the units commander or C-in-C is also with command radius.<br />
<br />
<strong>Rule 11</strong><br />
<br />
During the critical part of the Battle, the Saxons of the French 9th Corps were taken to be Austrians <br />
because of their white uniforms.<br />
<br />
To simulate this any french or allied unit (not Saxon of course) with a saxon unit in its field of fire must throw 1D6, if the result is 5 or 6 then the will have to shoot at the Saxon unit.<br />
<br />
It will not affect cavalry charges only applies to infantry and artillery.<br />
<br />
<strong>Rule 12</strong><br />
<br />
Napoleons presence was a large bonus to his tropos and Generals when he was on the Battlefield. To reflect this when throwing for French Commanders Vigor and Tactics, they have a bonus of 8 points to use in raising any low die rolls.<br />
<br />
When throwing for abilities the French side must decide if they would use any of their bonus points to improve the result, before throwing for the next ability.<br />
<br />
<strong>Rule 13</strong><br />
<br />
Austrian Uhlans are considered Valiant for this game.<br />
<br />
<strong>Conclusions</strong><br />
<br />
I think this was the largest game we had put on and it took from 9.00 a.m until just after 8.00 p.m. Javi calculated that over 3,00 figures were used. There was a discussion about the French commander ratings , because when we played Austerlitz the French side threw low numbers for their ratings which didn't reflect the better French command structure at the actual battle. We implemented rule 12 of the special rules to counter this. As always the time seemed to fly by and it was very enjoyable and with a great finale. Thanks to the other players and especially Javi for making it a great day. <br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
On Saturday the 13th April, we arranged a Pachanga Tournament of Lasalle , on the day there was ten players, five played on the French side and five on the Coalition side. We played two games with each army playing with two supports. There was no prizes for coming first etc, as this was more of a team event (although everybody was playing separately). After everbody met at the club, we went for a quick coffee to wake us up because of the early start. We diced off to see who played who and on which preset terrain table we used the Sum 20 scoring system to work out the points.</div>

Some notable things that happened during the game, my Brunswick artillery were charged by the Neapolitan cavalry on my right flank but managed to survive. The cavalry tried for a second time and my Brunswickers stood their ground once again, not only surviving the close combat but also destroying the cavalry. Jose's Guard Cavalry's Commander had minus one on his vigor, this was lucky for me because three times Jose rolled the normal amount required to bring on his reserves but because of the Generals negative modifier they didn't come on until towards the end of the game and only started to get involved when the game had nearly finished. <br />
This was a tough game against Jose's French Guard, My army was broken so with Jose not wanting to have any more of his units destroyed began to pull back. Obviously I had nothing to lose and started to be more aggressive (Zombie Army Syndrome) I was able to hold on for a couple of morale rolls and the game ended on turn eighteen when we both rolled a three. <br />
The game ended in a draw, but because the French were Guard they needed a Decisive Victory otherwise any other result is classed as a loss. Therefore both sides are level on 30 points each.<br />

This became a seesaw battle with first the allied line charging, then the French retreating only to counter charge for the Allied line to retreat and once again counter charge. It was only when I managed to break the French army morale, that Kiefer began to play more aggressive trying to destroy enough of my units for me to reach army breakpoint. This was unlikely but time was ticking away and the game looked like it may end in a draw, luckily with about 10 minutes to spare, Kiefer failed his Army Break Roll and with having more Light Cavalry on the table I won a decisive victory.<br />
I gained 18 points and Kiefer only 2 points. The Coalition were now on 74 point and the French on 46 points<br />

Miguel had won his second battle, beating the large Prussian army which is no mean feat in itself. He also gained enough points to have won the tournament as a individual player. What also makes this notable is this is the first time he has played with a borrowed French army as his normal army is Austrian. The French managed to close the gap with the Coalition on 78 points and the French on 62 points<br />

I was very impressed by Francois use of smoke for disruption markers its cheap and effective and away of bringing the effect of smoke on the battlefield in a purposefull manner. The game ended in a draw so the Coalition side won the tournament by 105 points and the French finished on 95 points.<br />
<br />
Conclusions<br />
<br />
This was a little rehearsal for our actual Lasalle tournament in October, as always it was very enjoyable. However as I have mentioned in my own battle reports and it has been brought up before on the official lasalle forum. The end game needs slightly changing as we get the silly situation where the victorious force begins to pull back as not to risk anymore of his units being destroyed., and the broken army, instead of as in reality begin to pull back and retreat, it starts to attack with all its units trying to destroy enough units on the other side. Also a there is no penalty in losing more units because it is already broken so there is no incentive to discourage this tactic.<br />
On the Lasalle forum there has been a solution put forward that I favor which is if a broken army loses any more units after they have reached their army breakpoint then these points are added on to the amount needed by the Army morale Check. So for example if the Army has broken and the player loses another infantry unit (2 points) this is added to the game turn number (13) making the the number greater than15 instead of 13 the player is required to throw, to pass the test.<br />
I like the idea of the team game, and after a little thought I feel we could make it into a viable quick campaign system that would last just a day, with players picking armies from one particular theatre of war and year. I will keep you posted.<br />
