Hi James....I think yet again you miss the point about Linear tactics ...they are from an older period of warfare ....its pretty obvious that they could find it hard against the Napoleonic type of warfare that came about from the French....thats why Russia, Austria and possibly Prussia followed the french model.....then we come to the Brits? (I'm not starting up this old can of worms again)...
just enjoy the game try out a few Historical scenario's, broaden your horizon with a few different periods that way you'll inderstand the tactics and strategy that wargaming provides for us ....did you start off wargaming following the Gamesworkshop route? ....I'm from a different era, Wargames Research group :)....thats the difference(grin)
Paul:)
disclaimer ....I'm on the wind up:) ....the Rotherham /Maelstrom lads always get a bit touchy, its good to see them on the Forum though ....good luck at the tourney James.
Viva le Emperor!
