Are players finding it too easy to alternate cavalry and infantry along their line, in order to create combined arms attacks? Does Sam agree it is an issue to be looked at? Have we any good suggestions on it to debate? Opening suggestion from Cam (IIRC) was to restrict command more - which I happen to think will greatly immprove the game at all levels for a minimal loss of playability if Sam puts his talented mind to a wording for us. discuss TodCreasey on "Night fighting in Lasalle" http://www.sammustafa.com/honour/forum/topic/night-fighting-in-lasalle#post-6072 Wed, 08 Sep 2010 08:29:58 +0000 TodCreasey 6072@http://www.sammustafa.com/honour/forum/ I am working on my scenario for Lundys Lane (which was pretty much entirely fought at night) and I wanted some input on how to handle the night rules. The battle had a lot of visibility problems, especially when filled with smoke as well. I have re-enacted night battles and if there is no other light you are working on muzzle flashs only (and we counter marched through an enemy camp where they didn't recognise use as an enemy unit). I was thinking all command ranges are reduced to 6BW initially and that a unit that has fired or is being fired on has a visibility of musketry range. Thoughts? marcoshape on "Small Scenarios" http://www.sammustafa.com/honour/forum/topic/small-scenarios#post-5978 Tue, 31 Aug 2010 14:02:33 +0000 marcoshape 5978@http://www.sammustafa.com/honour/forum/ I am building a 28mm French and Austrian Army in parallel.

Maybe I'm just too hard head to figure a simple thing out. Here's what I think the Army builder does; I looked at the Core listing on pg 111. I would like to build a Brigade of Prussians from the "Liberation" period. So now I look an see that I would need: 2 Infantry 2 Reserve 2 Landwehr 1 Landwehr Cav - So my question is, is this how many unit types make up a brigade? - What does the Prussian Composition at the bottom of the page do for me? This is where I get confused. Any help/clarification would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. P.

Blown is treated exactly the same as a DISR except it doesn't count towards breaking and is recovered automatically by not moving during a Activity phase. Very similar to the rules as is but I feel my victorious cavalry would be treated differently to the defeated. sdennan on "Crimea" http://www.sammustafa.com/honour/forum/topic/crimea#post-6016 Sat, 04 Sep 2010 21:44:29 +0000 sdennan 6016@http://www.sammustafa.com/honour/forum/ Hi Everyone I have been looking for a set of rules for the Crimea.

Am i right in thinking that French unit 'A' moves into contact with British unit 'B' in player French players turn. Then in British player's turn, can unit 'B' fire at unit A in the reaction phase and then if still in contact fight a combat in the combat phase? 2. who takes the first turn?

Alan also watched and, as it was a Peninsula battle, helped out with rules and quotations from Sharpe. The game was played out in its entirety in slightly less than three hours from dicing for ground condition and precipitation (dry and sunny) to shaking hands and packing away. After rolling for the board set up and then customising the set terrain and then determining attacker and defender the British secretly chose to defend while the French secretly chose to attack and as there was no conflict our secret wishes were both granted. How often can you say that in a wargame? This British commander, Lord Lysander Droppings, noted that his force had a marked qualitative advantage with four ‘standard battalions’ and one large elite battalion (designated as the 42nd of foot) and a Royal Artillery battery. The French, commandeered the Duc de Frottage, seemed pleased with the idea that quantity has a quality all of its own with three battalions of veterans, four of conscripts, an artillery battery and a regiment of dragoons. As things would turn out neither pre-battle assessment would be correct. As the attacker, Frottage had two sub commanders while the British defender had but one. After the game we realised that we had both forgotten to roll for characteristics (vigour and tactics) of our subcommanders. Nevermind. After the defender chose their preferred table edge and the objective marker was set up by the attacker and then moved by the defender, the British deployed. Droppings chose to deploy three battalions along his baseline facing the river with the highlanders in the farm housing the objective marker, the battery to their left covering the bridge and another battalion (the Blankshires) on the extreme left of the line. Frottage, misremembering his classical education, divided all his Gauls his into three parts. Two lots of conscripts and the guns to his left, two more conscripts in the centre and, with his typical generosity, he took command of the three veteran battalions and the dragoons. Once we had set up, the battle started with each player thumbing through the terrain rules to see what effect the river that diagonally bisected the battlefield would have. Quite a lot as it turned out in that it was impassable and the only way across was the single bridge on the French right. Luckily for the Duc that was where his veterans were and he pushed them across as quickly as he could with one bold battalion crossing and deploying in line while their comrades tried to sort out the traffic jam on the Gallic side of the bridge. In turn, the British pushed their available forces (the highlanders, guns and battalion of Blankshires forward to try to crush the bridgehead) while hurrying their other units across to the side of the board with the bridge. Unluckily for the British right flank, the French guns advanced and unlimbered within canister range and this took a savage toll of one battalion, while another was drawn into a fire-fight across the river with a conscript battalion. As the game progressed the French bridgehead was successfully established due to a combination of valour and poor dice rolling by the English. Really poor dice rolling. Consistently really poor dice rolling. By the time the lead veteran battalion was broken it had weathered several turns of canister fire from the RA battery (employing, it would seem, a form of ammunition devised by Mr Shrapnel’s hitherto unknown assistant, Mr Nerf), and musketry from the Black Watch and the Blankshires. In so doing it nearly as good as it got and both British battalions had taken a disruption marker. Behind this firefight, the French forces were all across the river (except for the guns and conscripts engaging the two reinforcing British battalions) and had sorted themselves out. One veteran battalion had formed line and was taking on the Blankshires while the dragoons had pushed out to the left in waves (a double line with some squadrons in reserve) and faced a reinforcing British battalion that elected to form square and they basically glared at each other for the entirety of the battle. The other conscripts were also sorting themselves out and hoping the veterans would take care of things. When one group of veterans had had enough of trading volleys with the highlanders they decided to let their bayonets speak for them and charged, while their veteran comrades started to chip away at the Blankshires. In that Brown Bess vs Charleville duel the French weapon was beginning to gain the upper hand. This prompted a British charge which was successful (a very rare instance of his Lordship rolling well) and the veterans retired behind some conscripts in march column. This could have left the French in a difficult position as the other veterans’ charge was initially successful, but a counter by the game 42nd (who had by now dispensed with the rubber novelty bayonets that Staff Sgt MacPorridge ordered for the regiment as a practical joke last Hogmanay) broke the veterans who had given them a hard time. As they were within four base widths of their opponents they were classified as being ‘close to the enemy’ and, being classified as ‘amateur’ the conscripts needed to pass a discipline test to change formation. They did this with aplomb. The excellent performance of the conscripts was no surprise as their classmates were steadily whittling down the British across the river from them with very little cost to themselves and the line of conscripts opposite the Black Watch had just made a recover roll (the only successful recovery of the game) needing three sixes on three dice. That encapsulated how fickle fortuna had abandoned Lord Droppings for the evening. At this stage, after each player had completed seven turns, there was really only one more turn in the battle. The accrued damage to four British units saw each of them break, the artillery shattered their target, the Charvilles of two lots of conscripts blew away their opponents (one of which was the valiant Blankshires) and the other conscripts showed that a hat full of feathers and a sporran is no match for a surly teenager in ill-fitting clogs and they overwhelmed the exhausted Black Watch taking their colours, cohesion and pride. This left the British infantry battalion in square, Lord Droppings and the guns which surrendered or retired as they saw fit. The French conscripts had exceeded all expectations and a grateful emperor may reward them with a nice trip to see the Czar if they keep this up. Decisive French victory. We both enjoyed the game and are keen to play again. This of course means we both need more miniatures. Things we liked about the rules. • The ‘near the enemy’ concept makes it a difficult proposition to have to manoeuvre right in front of your opponent and changes of formation are best carried out prior to closing with the enemy. Who knew? • Large units are really quite tough propositions. If the Black Watch had rolled at least reasonably they could have made a real difference. As it was, they played the key role in the destruction of the only two units the French lost (both veterans, hopefully they’ll take a few pointers from the conscripts for the next battle). • The scale allows artillery batteries to really depict the guns and their size and composition does matter. The four gun French battery was consistently more effective than the three gun Royal Artillery. They look pretty good on the table too. One wonders how the five gun batteries available to the Russians will fare. • The rules for skirmishers are easy and elegant and are a pretty good simulation of what effective skirmishing could do without complicating the game. • The quick reference sheets had the page number reference for each rule they describe or table they depict and the index is good. • No points system. Forces are chosen from set compositions depending on period and theatre. Reinforcements are then chosen based on size of the game. Our game was played with just the basic forces. • The rules work well, give a good game in a reasonable time period and are rather fun. As the sun set and shadows lengthened, Lysander abandoned all pretence at dignity, flogging his mare across the parched Iberian plain, putting the clumps of fleeing infantrymen behind him. He turned briefly, images of Gascon teenagers defiling captured colours uppermost in his mind, and wondered if his uncle (who happened to be Secretary of War) could keep him in his command. He knew if he could, he would be back, and next time he’d make Frottage rue the day he stomped on Droppings.

The first would choose Organic or Reserve. And then decide whether to put more infantry or cavalry over. Also depending on the opponent, if you know where, of course. I really love the Austrian hussars but would have too little cavalry against infantry?. The obvious choice would be a brigade of chasseurs but they are reserves. Do you think?. cam_millar on "Entrenchments" http://www.sammustafa.com/honour/forum/topic/entrenchments#post-769 Mon, 30 Nov 2009 03:36:17 +0000 cam_millar 769@http://www.sammustafa.com/honour/forum/ The entrenchment rules on pg 75 say "If units are allowed to entrench ... Some army lists and scenarios might allow an army to begin the game with entrenchments ..." A cursory look at the list shows that Opolcheniye and some Spanish units can begin the game in entrenchments. So in a AB game who can entrench during a game - anyone, no-one, or only units that are allowed to be entrenched at the start of the game? Cam Alan Charlesworth on "Timing of 'Command Test'" http://www.sammustafa.com/honour/forum/topic/timing-of-command-test#post-5955 Mon, 30 Aug 2010 06:57:06 +0000 Alan Charlesworth 5955@http://www.sammustafa.com/honour/forum/ There are several effects of being 'Out of Command'. I can't find a rule that defines when specifically being in or out of command is tested. Perhaps someone can point me to the right page if I have missed it? I have being playing that if a unit is in command at the start of the 'Activity Phase' then it is 'In Command' for the rest of the phase. But is this correct? If you test for being 'In Command' at the point of making an action that might be affected then this has different consequences. This is important for artillery. They might be 'In Command' at the start of moving. However, when they have finished moving and wish to unlimber they may have moved 'Out of Command'. Therefore if the test is applied then, they would be unable to unlimber, as artillery must be 'In Command' to unlimber. As commanders move last in the phase for each group it would take an extra turn before the artillery could unlimber. This extra turn delay makes a significant difference to how the game would play. Which is correct? Dicer0ll on "Out of Command" http://www.sammustafa.com/honour/forum/topic/out-of-command#post-5951 Sun, 29 Aug 2010 22:41:32 +0000 Dicer0ll 5951@http://www.sammustafa.com/honour/forum/ In our last game, we had two regular cav units that punched through center of opposing army leaving the potential of being out of command because the rest of the cavalry was still dealing with other infantry and protecting its flank from enemy cavalry that just moved into range. We had a choice to make, either push the cav behind the enemy ranks which would make them be out of command but be safer from being attacked, or withdraw them back to friendlies but suffer a reduced movement since they would be traversing back over rough terrain and potential of being shot up by enemy infantry fire. I would think that if they kept going foward and run around the rear and manage to get back into command would have been the better option even though they wouldn't be able to charge but be able to disrupt enemy chain of commands and maybe even distract their cavalry push against our infantry lines.

Just wanted to get my head around a few things. Am I correct in stating each unit in lasalle is a battalion not a regiment? I am only learning about napoleonic history etc so correct me if I am wrong but after 1808 only one eagle was carried per regiment so if I am formimg my list based around the forces at Salamanca 1812 I would have say the 39th Line Regiment as my conscript unit with one unit carrying the eagle and say the other 3 units carrying fanions? How many units in Lasalle would make up a regiment do you think? I have to field 4 conscript and 3 veteran for the core peninsula list. I understand the 39th and 59th were conscript infantry but as to veteran am I safe to put any other line regiments from Salamanca down as my veteran regiments like the 69th from 1st division under Foy? How do you tell what was a veteran regiment and what was a conscript?

I am very new to the game and I am trying to figure out how things work out. Lately we played a game of Lasalle using two standard army lists (i.e from the book) with one support option. I played with a French infantry division including (6 infanty and 1 foot artillery) plus (2 Hussars, 2 Chasseur a cheval and 1 horse artillery). I was the defender. My opponent was the attacker with a Russian Guard division having more and better artillery, more and better infantry (+2 for higher esprit, +2 for being Guard) and very powerfull large units of guard cavalry. It seemed to me that the only way to win was to save my pursuit cavalry from destruction long enough (until I lose). i.e try to loose early enough, so that I can take a marginal victory due to the "send in the guards" special rule. Nevertheless, as this is no fun at all, I tryed to play to win and of course I was obliterated by my opponent who had more and superior units. If we had played with two support options things would have been worse as my opponent would be able to take cosak (pursuit) cavalry, so not even the "send in the guards" special rule would be enough to save me. From other rule sets that I have played (DBM, FoG, FoW) I am used to the idea of "balanced" lists: all of the troops add up to the same number of points so that elite troops are fewer and lower quality troops give more volume to the army. Here, it seems that this is not the case. I would like to give another example. I have painted French and British forces so I was comparing the two lists for the Hundred days period. They both wave exactly the same core infantry units (same amount, esprit, skirmish values etc.) The British have fewer guns per artillery unit. The British cannot have organic cavalry Why should one pick the British list?

It could also be used a high command stand for large games (our group has been planning a multiplayer Quatre Bras, for instance). I had a bunch of command figures and staff officers sitting in little boxes on my shelves, and decided to put a few to good use. I may do a few more like this, and perhaps make them interconnect into one large diorama just for fun. Of course, there are alot of things I think I'd like to do, but never get around to... These are all Perry Miniatures, and they're mounted on a Litko 3"x3" base. <img src="http://i223.photobucket.com/albums/dd220/djoker35/Napoleonic%20French%201815/part1.jpg"> <img src="http://i223.photobucket.com/albums/dd220/djoker35/Napoleonic%20French%201815/part2.jpg"> There are some more, and larger, images on my blog.
