I first read about the Scanian War 55 years ago in my first uniform book the classic Blandford Military Uniforms of the World. It had 2 pages of uniforms from this war.</p><p>I'm looking for ideas for future Imaginations campaignS and I decided this little known war might be a good starting point. So far its been a good read - 256 pages of detail.</p><p><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgzhAKsSmMd_9uNK4bI3agOszXWl2oA0QDo51Toe-Kun5mUjv4Vu7_NtDbYLR53KrAHU-wdAAaCY8IlU16RZ2XI6M8PnUcl-gnK32oRAK4vnPx2b_zzujZzJYJD3zhFgcqa-SOkUiz_XqgPBv-9EwCoeJ9uyA6wkep9qLYmL09oUX24qHbEzIAquwEbgyL8/s1968/thumbnail_IMG_2117.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1968" data-original-width="1414" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgzhAKsSmMd_9uNK4bI3agOszXWl2oA0QDo51Toe-Kun5mUjv4Vu7_NtDbYLR53KrAHU-wdAAaCY8IlU16RZ2XI6M8PnUcl-gnK32oRAK4vnPx2b_zzujZzJYJD3zhFgcqa-SOkUiz_XqgPBv-9EwCoeJ9uyA6wkep9qLYmL09oUX24qHbEzIAquwEbgyL8/w461-h640/thumbnail_IMG_2117.jpg" width="461" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj5UQIjAWmoJj-F7ePTvS1qDGzliR9KP5rkS-kQmG-v7YSaE__3sNW0G71zi1oHgLvZUZXHRmstcop2cRQi6_SoWFGpVSurQ4Fy3_QjNoFUkMkpq2pGsDO5Bm-TnTTxsh9i-LKAYivoV0ef0SxPHAcff0cNuK6LNjz0FtmXAERQev6yJLq8DCI02q31ppLd/s1857/thumbnail_IMG_2118.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1857" data-original-width="1302" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj5UQIjAWmoJj-F7ePTvS1qDGzliR9KP5rkS-kQmG-v7YSaE__3sNW0G71zi1oHgLvZUZXHRmstcop2cRQi6_SoWFGpVSurQ4Fy3_QjNoFUkMkpq2pGsDO5Bm-TnTTxsh9i-LKAYivoV0ef0SxPHAcff0cNuK6LNjz0FtmXAERQev6yJLq8DCI02q31ppLd/w448-h640/thumbnail_IMG_2118.jpg" width="448" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgUND_JSVABT6jpCrczkV3JOzZMx3e8LdsvNKiQJGq8D4MWz8mfYpi-D5gj3GpUg8E0ivMyDqMm2skNCR0GOPqi3QFRAUj39D0zAN45YLt5b-7ZexCdZ7bS6FlKwfkaFn9turUFTwwoLQdqGvN_O54G6KWrBlKxYeZcN0vlNPInILFQgJwQw2mL9WyO2bdq/s1841/thumbnail_IMG_2119.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1438" data-original-width="1841" height="501" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgUND_JSVABT6jpCrczkV3JOzZMx3e8LdsvNKiQJGq8D4MWz8mfYpi-D5gj3GpUg8E0ivMyDqMm2skNCR0GOPqi3QFRAUj39D0zAN45YLt5b-7ZexCdZ7bS6FlKwfkaFn9turUFTwwoLQdqGvN_O54G6KWrBlKxYeZcN0vlNPInILFQgJwQw2mL9WyO2bdq/w640-h501/thumbnail_IMG_2119.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><p><br /></p>Bill5549http://www.blogger.com/profile/11434081732765212404noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-605747911165768180.post-69248101804822393022024-01-03T00:10:00.003+00:002024-01-03T00:10:37.932+00:00CHRISTMAS 2023 WARGAMES PRESENTS<p>This Christmas proved a great success with two wargaming related presents.. First there was a copy of Charles Grant's latest book 'A wargaming Retrospective from PRE-WW2 Onwards'. A good gentle read available from Caliver Books. Secondly I got a copy of the Battle of Britain game by Richard Borg - originally released by TSR and recently rereleased by Plastic Soldier Company. Just before Christmas I had finished a campaign with John Perkin using his copy. It's still for sale today at a bargain price of £14.95 from PSC.</p><p>Happy New Year everyone.</p><p><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgzS1tsoaG7ZumbINM8NYRtpWov-dozFuB7LXnRtv1dSCG0mS8Ds3jm5uSEgjr-M7kUjQZ12bL7NTDfF51cYIS-stQl-8GYbyn6Xj79stCO6Ujwuboa-jDvsF164OV8EWvOTTfXups0CegV_YYBB7ELrSRURQeXZcBO95tYklMAcVRPAdKO23qkjcb0mxfe/s1934/thumbnail_IMG_2001.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1934" data-original-width="1451" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgzS1tsoaG7ZumbINM8NYRtpWov-dozFuB7LXnRtv1dSCG0mS8Ds3jm5uSEgjr-M7kUjQZ12bL7NTDfF51cYIS-stQl-8GYbyn6Xj79stCO6Ujwuboa-jDvsF164OV8EWvOTTfXups0CegV_YYBB7ELrSRURQeXZcBO95tYklMAcVRPAdKO23qkjcb0mxfe/w480-h640/thumbnail_IMG_2001.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><br /><p><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjFO6iRCmbCnIM7d6EDzV3OIy7E03LvxzH1dDmxVgJ26W626VeXVFwRoNtuWSUm3be1hXZnUEVvUYA57jYzgcW_R1xq2WO2tYCWtcIecWPlcNC9ShEemIZ4RrLz0OyN2PdhXwK5B1WiCpqqjyhLNiYDyeY_EXxvchFmn1lAdcIRpXcVygzuSueW5VgR0Dpg/s1965/thumbnail_IMG_1997.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1965" data-original-width="1396" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjFO6iRCmbCnIM7d6EDzV3OIy7E03LvxzH1dDmxVgJ26W626VeXVFwRoNtuWSUm3be1hXZnUEVvUYA57jYzgcW_R1xq2WO2tYCWtcIecWPlcNC9ShEemIZ4RrLz0OyN2PdhXwK5B1WiCpqqjyhLNiYDyeY_EXxvchFmn1lAdcIRpXcVygzuSueW5VgR0Dpg/w454-h640/thumbnail_IMG_1997.jpg" width="454" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiD7NZzy12eoh_GB_DN5WV1x6gusE7PLrmd-88KOA4Ejn21mQ9Zt0E_Qz7h1CvzK0-D0lJtXX6slBWBE0wWq-XK5xT3375nQXX290acX1xXnCIzNrw1MXqgfqZNYqbHajJgqP3HCIqaTMDuLgsCfDHGxgfbw1hyphenhyphen2RI6OZSzi3VtBz0yr37RGhHS8cKA6gyC/s1920/thumbnail_IMG_1998.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1407" data-original-width="1920" height="470" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiD7NZzy12eoh_GB_DN5WV1x6gusE7PLrmd-88KOA4Ejn21mQ9Zt0E_Qz7h1CvzK0-D0lJtXX6slBWBE0wWq-XK5xT3375nQXX290acX1xXnCIzNrw1MXqgfqZNYqbHajJgqP3HCIqaTMDuLgsCfDHGxgfbw1hyphenhyphen2RI6OZSzi3VtBz0yr37RGhHS8cKA6gyC/w640-h470/thumbnail_IMG_1998.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh9jZ5K-3ukXIxrsoCfOSCRdxT8luPfRcmrOH-mi_s4_bwlA5Znb8jkBdpLwe8A9BGlkXfc2nO7fMMeM-sUuAfrwYKpAfvKTrjR5-V8qY_BkWt1hlr1EHuIZZFRvVKObHpVr5iMBF9e9TeRLe8NA5oWRgNHN_S7C0K3MFwmzzOcyoD5geR-r3MifDwN89Ek/s1920/thumbnail_IMG_1999.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1402" data-original-width="1920" height="468" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh9jZ5K-3ukXIxrsoCfOSCRdxT8luPfRcmrOH-mi_s4_bwlA5Znb8jkBdpLwe8A9BGlkXfc2nO7fMMeM-sUuAfrwYKpAfvKTrjR5-V8qY_BkWt1hlr1EHuIZZFRvVKObHpVr5iMBF9e9TeRLe8NA5oWRgNHN_S7C0K3MFwmzzOcyoD5geR-r3MifDwN89Ek/w640-h468/thumbnail_IMG_1999.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p>Bill5549http://www.blogger.com/profile/11434081732765212404noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-605747911165768180.post-52656256329151799012023-11-29T22:29:00.000+00:002023-11-29T22:29:11.213+00:00RAID ON ST MICHEL WITH BLACK POWDER 2<p> I was lucky enough to get an article published in this years Wargames Annual. It sets out how my friends and I played through the 5 scenarios in Charles Grant's' Raid on St Michel' imaginations campaign book using Black Powder. I had to develop a system to assess the casualties on the units and how these flowed forward to the following scenarios. Also included are my troop ratings for the units.</p><p>Many thanks to Charles for having the original scenario maps redone in full colour and providing colour versions of some of the original black and white photos in the book to go along with my 2022 game photos. My plan for 2024 is to play thru 4 scenarios from the 'Annexation of Chiraz',</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZF4_NmdSQiCHNKqYCa5ZbNkUkGanHRnjM78VoiyHXOJ_dhuT08QefWyLjUppsRVOzXNR8z4U-L2F9QZjp0CG50G-C62neWPOkFdL8na2VdLEDd-YFmp7gcOVGFNUj3kWBwRmGUn6Qw3cdnRb0DgF1aPzVpC1LENTzD__fPsAp4gYNPBXKA25fO7Wvz2qz/s2589/thumbnail_IMG_1223.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2589" data-original-width="1920" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZF4_NmdSQiCHNKqYCa5ZbNkUkGanHRnjM78VoiyHXOJ_dhuT08QefWyLjUppsRVOzXNR8z4U-L2F9QZjp0CG50G-C62neWPOkFdL8na2VdLEDd-YFmp7gcOVGFNUj3kWBwRmGUn6Qw3cdnRb0DgF1aPzVpC1LENTzD__fPsAp4gYNPBXKA25fO7Wvz2qz/w474-h640/thumbnail_IMG_1223.jpg" width="474" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEicGbcRA1HNLFhLEA35SM0TwoJnZEFq_BDKjA2pA-i1KeL_YoR-l1LQIP_SnBE0kXAiDauUMLkGE4b0Sqc0AqjA6aVxvMPyLdHExn6l2U5908bAX2UsSdAUGSlD1UBaNmqjlOgWMue3t2rjuUliiqpeitBVZ-WbxzFQeag-e7MXPvbrr1L2lBGM6YR5E-dA/s2689/thumbnail_IMG_1225.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2689" data-original-width="1920" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEicGbcRA1HNLFhLEA35SM0TwoJnZEFq_BDKjA2pA-i1KeL_YoR-l1LQIP_SnBE0kXAiDauUMLkGE4b0Sqc0AqjA6aVxvMPyLdHExn6l2U5908bAX2UsSdAUGSlD1UBaNmqjlOgWMue3t2rjuUliiqpeitBVZ-WbxzFQeag-e7MXPvbrr1L2lBGM6YR5E-dA/w456-h640/thumbnail_IMG_1225.jpg" width="456" /></a></div><br /><p><br /></p><p><br /></p>Bill5549http://www.blogger.com/profile/11434081732765212404noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-605747911165768180.post-6997203130429567222023-07-06T15:21:00.000+01:002023-07-06T15:21:31.448+01:00CLAYMORE 2023 AUGUST 5TH EDINBURGH<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhK851eM8VZ4C574BU9UtZuTzU_lt2A-VkjKzEC1JWzP-ja0LKbaYVO9OvGoQKSRRw7_u3_4P2NXAlMR2W8saBcebrTLOfDyPExh0RO3TcgdIDb0MD2UJCAac6yid5iaETB2aqbFfPSmIt7yTDVl7lvspsm5pBktQhkmm_1edjIBM714WCCA9cyDfV5QZyP/s320/Claymore2023Front.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="320" data-original-width="226" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhK851eM8VZ4C574BU9UtZuTzU_lt2A-VkjKzEC1JWzP-ja0LKbaYVO9OvGoQKSRRw7_u3_4P2NXAlMR2W8saBcebrTLOfDyPExh0RO3TcgdIDb0MD2UJCAac6yid5iaETB2aqbFfPSmIt7yTDVl7lvspsm5pBktQhkmm_1edjIBM714WCCA9cyDfV5QZyP/w453-h640/Claymore2023Front.jpg" width="453" /></a></div><br /> <p></p><p><b>Coming soon - The Gothenburg Gamers (Lothian branch not Swedish) will be presenting our game 'The True Account of the Spanish Descent upon Dunbar 1588'</b></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p>Bill5549http://www.blogger.com/profile/11434081732765212404noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-605747911165768180.post-35906005147863858402023-04-29T11:05:00.000+01:002023-04-29T11:05:11.937+01:00SYW: BY FORCE OF ARMS<p>Another new SYW book arrived this week from Helion. Their reprint of Christopher Duffy's "By Force of Arms". I already had their reprint of the first volume of his history of the Austrian Army in the Seven Years War "Instrument of War".

The latest were 2 battalions of Hungarian infantry and the Red Hussars all from Von Kleist's Freikorps. The hussars are by Sash and Sabre and the infantry by Foundry. I was short of 4 figures for the infantry so got 2 packs of the Von Kleist's band from Foundry. That built the infantry up to 24s and gave me the figures for the two 4 figure band bases. I have to come up with a useful Black Powder rule to use the bands. All the figures were painted by my friend Kevin Bowman and based by myself.. His painting just keeps getting better.</p><p><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh5_TV7fDHYY5CYSfUN50wdqONbjP9PE8gzjbAtb8REg2dxZSuC1UF-r_F_2gckc0Twl7EKGvu3xFUvfIg_q39HB_AITpredrHwYMbphhKx0gxK4apb36Q-gZ9bmneBcbJJLHss7_RogKcuX86kZUCJFJoEldnjUPWBu8ZD014hbydsE7Ify3iEVEydxA/s1107/thumbnail_IMG_5859.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="563" data-original-width="1107" height="326" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh5_TV7fDHYY5CYSfUN50wdqONbjP9PE8gzjbAtb8REg2dxZSuC1UF-r_F_2gckc0Twl7EKGvu3xFUvfIg_q39HB_AITpredrHwYMbphhKx0gxK4apb36Q-gZ9bmneBcbJJLHss7_RogKcuX86kZUCJFJoEldnjUPWBu8ZD014hbydsE7Ify3iEVEydxA/w640-h326/thumbnail_IMG_5859.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjCrtel2sGjXRHluRLNClHAQ9yFUN1Ln7k_wL-ea-Cev6lBWn4ohKhIK8gDaPwGRIH9v4PlrfaDi1e2wa6sokonXrEUMx5wA9HAripCX64n0uvdbZfct7TZJTgGZJZDALsCL11FiAnhjW3vO8M7wcTnFyxAOrv4iwuv4ucJCJoQk6pqxEtIxFCyrb3CMQ/s1081/thumbnail_IMG_5861.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="627" data-original-width="1081" height="372" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjCrtel2sGjXRHluRLNClHAQ9yFUN1Ln7k_wL-ea-Cev6lBWn4ohKhIK8gDaPwGRIH9v4PlrfaDi1e2wa6sokonXrEUMx5wA9HAripCX64n0uvdbZfct7TZJTgGZJZDALsCL11FiAnhjW3vO8M7wcTnFyxAOrv4iwuv4ucJCJoQk6pqxEtIxFCyrb3CMQ/w640-h372/thumbnail_IMG_5861.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjWHXne7Fyx6iRs1cJO68MK3CL9NRc-kC_c31EY1YqnT0S7WfUZobPcRWtmRlUQc8tFK920w6H4TxQC6TPmTm70XCpv-2OSRK78Umqplo5rxKFvTJFV36z4R-S_0uZNsbQnjQDnG70p70iI6bIF4io7HAv0IgqaNaV4PuaYhmJS7DMQ_8UozIOGC4Ff-A/s1002/thumbnail_IMG_5862.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="620" data-original-width="1002" height="396" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjWHXne7Fyx6iRs1cJO68MK3CL9NRc-kC_c31EY1YqnT0S7WfUZobPcRWtmRlUQc8tFK920w6H4TxQC6TPmTm70XCpv-2OSRK78Umqplo5rxKFvTJFV36z4R-S_0uZNsbQnjQDnG70p70iI6bIF4io7HAv0IgqaNaV4PuaYhmJS7DMQ_8UozIOGC4Ff-A/w640-h396/thumbnail_IMG_5862.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiTmSWp6ILY_BQLcczrwOlOfbntSHpELVAHgb2RtRJOPt4gqLGGNulQZGzhXLJzJkvJPRti8l8eJNKG-BuR0eoJ60aoWcPVZ_U3FYdEN6s7HKJCyP2knYwW3wECin6tr-HXYgRVM3fz13dEczDWfW2WRqzWP9S0NVOnDsrw8CVG-fRg9sztR5WXylG5jA/s953/thumbnail_IMG_5868.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="518" data-original-width="953" height="348" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiTmSWp6ILY_BQLcczrwOlOfbntSHpELVAHgb2RtRJOPt4gqLGGNulQZGzhXLJzJkvJPRti8l8eJNKG-BuR0eoJ60aoWcPVZ_U3FYdEN6s7HKJCyP2knYwW3wECin6tr-HXYgRVM3fz13dEczDWfW2WRqzWP9S0NVOnDsrw8CVG-fRg9sztR5WXylG5jA/w640-h348/thumbnail_IMG_5868.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhw0kUnMtq0k7G-hJUWCbIoWu5GCJAQ08XaFSepSyr4ZuYr3WhrMu7XPxX_U-opTXE7A3mjrhSPpEqTptfdA19nvGXIAhtM7zhanIy5RTpBOsXu1FnkytDXBsnnKrb692o-qGDFJ8czeKtXeXohnCyq9zpXwnyOPRqnGOp98MONNdp0Hq-P1FV_H76pLA/s1031/thumbnail_IMG_5869.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="712" data-original-width="1031" height="442" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhw0kUnMtq0k7G-hJUWCbIoWu5GCJAQ08XaFSepSyr4ZuYr3WhrMu7XPxX_U-opTXE7A3mjrhSPpEqTptfdA19nvGXIAhtM7zhanIy5RTpBOsXu1FnkytDXBsnnKrb692o-qGDFJ8czeKtXeXohnCyq9zpXwnyOPRqnGOp98MONNdp0Hq-P1FV_H76pLA/w640-h442/thumbnail_IMG_5869.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br />Bill5549http://www.blogger.com/profile/11434081732765212404noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-605747911165768180.post-91716232661794807592023-01-14T15:27:00.000+00:002023-01-14T15:27:07.435+00:00MORE BOOKS FROM NAVAL AND MILITARY PRESS<p>Latest arrivals from N&MP - I have added 3 Helion books on the seventeenth century.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="background: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial; font-size: 12pt;">The allied French and Reichsarmee forces have
gained ground on the right bank of the Rhine.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>They have advanced along the River Lippe cutting a major supply route
between the allied Army and Prussian controlled Saxony.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>To counter this threat Frederick II of
Prussia has despatched a force from Saxony under his brother Prince Henry to
join the newly arrived British subsidy detachment under Charles Spencer 3<sup>rd</sup>
Duke of Marlborough.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

the Franco-Empire commanders decided to defend a position at the vital river

I find them simple and fun to play. But a few issues have appeared in our games. I have a page setting out ideas on house rules as well as some notes on commonly forgotten rules and important clarifications. Latest changes are to the section on the Napoleonic Must Form Square Rule as shown below. Changes are in italics.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><b><i><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">SQUARES (NAPOLEONIC MUST FORM SQUARE RULE)</span></i></b></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">This is a 2021 revision of the rules for squares which we have used successfully since June 2013. The new element is that infantry cannot form square if the cavalry start their charge from only 1 move away. They had their chance to form square in their previous turn. This idea could be used with the standard square rules.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Rule - Non disordered infantry in the open charged by cavalry to their front must attempt to form square as their charge response</span><i style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">. However if the cavalry are within 1 move the infantry cannot form square as a response and can just give closing fire. </i></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">To form a square as a response infantry must pass an order test based on their brigadier’s command rating counting normal modifiers (except command radius) plus optionally the following:<i> If cavalry need 3 moves to contact then infantry have a command modifier of +1<o:p></o:p></i></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">If they fail they stay in their formation, become disordered and deliver closing fire.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Note - Normal square combat rules apply i.e. cavalry receive no charging bonuses.</span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"> </span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">However a square testing for a non cavalry combat break test applies all the break tests results.</span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"> </span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">If they retire they become disordered and form line formation.</span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"> </span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">As per the rules a square testing for losing or drawing a combat against only cavalry ignore all results except Break.</span></p>Bill5549http://www.blogger.com/profile/11434081732765212404noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-605747911165768180.post-17588273133362356562021-04-14T21:19:00.000+01:002021-04-14T21:19:50.032+01:0028MM NAPOLEONIC: PICTON AT WATERLOO 1815<p> Here is a comparison of 3 models of Lt Gen Thomas Picton KCB at Waterloo.</p><p>Left to right they are by Perry, Front Rank and Foundry.

Once I read thru them I will add short reviews. Nice image of 18th century Dresden on the cover of the Saxon Army book. The cover of Gilbert's WW1 book is a photo of men of the Army Service Corps in England at Christmas 1914. This is actually an Osprey book of 304 pages. My great uncle was lost at 1st Ypres serving with the Seaforth Highlanders - he is one of those listed on the Menin Gate..</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjYLzyDlZ4jTiHviyjPKeZyht56lBMsXajpoVq26WkCQZkNIP8RNUWRCa5Qeqafj2_59AcOY87mgYZMBCk1XIfg0lkF_Jevdh5g4HbiwBy-p7NG_ELVHG1qYFuNqq-4_hDT2thS7Dlvk07_/s2048/IMG_7200.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1518" data-original-width="2048" height="474" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjYLzyDlZ4jTiHviyjPKeZyht56lBMsXajpoVq26WkCQZkNIP8RNUWRCa5Qeqafj2_59AcOY87mgYZMBCk1XIfg0lkF_Jevdh5g4HbiwBy-p7NG_ELVHG1qYFuNqq-4_hDT2thS7Dlvk07_/w640-h474/IMG_7200.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjEp-wsEhpzSd5pTV2vrt6Z3stwalKK0AigI12z_zav9UGWXdHtHoLVZUBWFibPxLLcnqDG9GZ92bEIr9zR7UM6_HGX5NPKvA4rFKvQmvzRY23V_OaJxMvbELKXPHAs2JcDVhLris30TsIi/s2048/IMG_7197.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1436" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjEp-wsEhpzSd5pTV2vrt6Z3stwalKK0AigI12z_zav9UGWXdHtHoLVZUBWFibPxLLcnqDG9GZ92bEIr9zR7UM6_HGX5NPKvA4rFKvQmvzRY23V_OaJxMvbELKXPHAs2JcDVhLris30TsIi/w448-h640/IMG_7197.JPG" width="448" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEixNBiTc3NUKtHFsqrX09mMbMqmQPKvPp7f8YQIdlOghNo8C_fAmK6umFTggAF8WGniW28hshMDf6zmsNBG1W_YNbgIvBSOIn2HQ6r42wVv6zszZVz8-06QWGZy8AM9J401Eg1UyAWLix9q/s2048/IMG_7198.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1529" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEixNBiTc3NUKtHFsqrX09mMbMqmQPKvPp7f8YQIdlOghNo8C_fAmK6umFTggAF8WGniW28hshMDf6zmsNBG1W_YNbgIvBSOIn2HQ6r42wVv6zszZVz8-06QWGZy8AM9J401Eg1UyAWLix9q/w478-h640/IMG_7198.JPG" width="478" /></a></div><br /><p><br /></p>Bill5549http://www.blogger.com/profile/11434081732765212404noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-605747911165768180.post-49351979979964315732020-09-03T19:25:00.001+01:002020-09-03T19:26:17.050+01:00MORE NAPOLEONIC BOOKS FROM N&MP<p><span style="font-family: arial;"> The latest bargain Napoleonic arrivals from Naval & Military Press.

<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">RISK TO COMMANDERS.</span></b><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">After
a question on the TGG Friends Group I thought I should clarify these
rules.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This applies to command figures – brigadiers and higher
ranking officers.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We are using the rules
set out at page 74 of the BP2 book.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">Importantly
these figures cannot be individually targeted by shooting or attacked in hand
to hand combat.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">If
they are displaced by a moving enemy unit and there is no friendly unit within
a normal move then they fall casualty.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>This is very rare in fact I have never seen it happen.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">They
are only really at risk if they have joined a unit – either by giving a
successful Rally or Follow me Order when they must join the unit involved or by
being displaced to a friendly unit by enemy unit movement.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They are considered attached to the unit
until the start of their next turn. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">If
the unit is destroyed then the commander is also removed.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">If
the unit suffers excess casualties (i.e. over their shaken level) due to
shooting or hand to hand combat roll a dice for each excess casualty - any
score of 6 results in the commander being removed as a casualty.</span><br />
<br />
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">LOST COMMANDERS</span></b><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">There
is no rule in BP2 about what happens when a commander becomes a casualty.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The convention we have used in previous games
which we are using for TGG is that they are replaced by a substitute at the end
of their side’s next movement phase.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>This substitute has a command level 1 less than the original commander
(usually 8 down to 7).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They are a less
experienced subordinate or possibly a favoured nephew.</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">I
thought it would be useful to run through the rules for cavalry charging
infantry and squares.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">In
TGG we are using the ‘Battalion Square’ rules described at Page 88 of the
rules.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>These squares are formed by the individual
infantry battalions.<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></b>The large multi-unit ‘Brigade Squares’ described
at Page 91 of the rules are not appropriate to Napoleonics as they are
formations from nineteenth century colonial actions.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">A
Battalion Square can be formed by a unit in the command phase or as a reaction
to a charge if a unit has the ‘Form Square’ special rule.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>All the Napoleonic infantry battalions have
the ‘Form Square’ special rule which is probably better called ‘Must Form
Square’.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">Unengaged
units that have the ‘Form Square’ special rule even if disordered must as their
charge response attempt to form square when charged by cavalry to their
front.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They have no choice in this
matter. If charged to their flank or rear they cannot respond to a charge. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>A unit that attempts to form square as a
response to a cavalry charge cannot deliver closing fire – attempting to form
square is its charge response.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">A
charging cavalry unit must have enough movement to reach the charged infantry
unit.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The cavalry unit moves until it is
3” away from the infantry unit.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The infantry
unit using the ‘Form Square’ response tests to form square by rolling 2
D6.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>On a score of 12 the infantry unit
forms square but is disordered.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>On a
score of 2 the infantry unit does not form square, becomes disordered and
receives the charge at the halt. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>A
disordered unit that successfully forms square is still disordered.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">Cavalry
can only declare a charge against or charge home on a disordered or shaken
square.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The cavalry get no charging
bonus including any from Special rules in the combat.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Cavalry must charge home if able to do
so.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If they cannot charge home the
cavalry unit can use whatever movement it has left to move back or move around
the side of the square as preferred.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I
must admit I have never seen this move around option used in a game.</span><br />
<br />
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">Other important things
about Squares</span></b><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">A
unit cannot move or come out of square if enemy cavalry are within 12”.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">A
square can make 1 move per turn at half speed towards its base line and this is
a free move like for march columns.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">A
square has 1 shooting dice per face.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">A
square fights with no more than 2 dice per face.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If engaged on multiple faces the total dice
used in combat by the unit cannot exceed its </span><span style="background: #f2f3f5; color: #141823; font-family: "helvetica" , "sans-serif";">hand to hand value.”</span><span style="color: #141823; font-family: "helvetica" , "sans-serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: Helvetica;"><br />
</span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">A
square gets +3 combat result when fighting enemy cavalry, but this is negated
if also fighting enemy infantry.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">Squares
cannot be supported but can support.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">A
square ignores all break tests results other than Break.</span><br />
<br />
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">My final tips</span></b><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">Cavalry
should charge infantry in their flank.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It
is very difficult to beat even a shaken square that cavalry can charge home on.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">If
your cavalry move back and remain with 12” of a square, try to ensure you have
units to fire at the immobile square in your next turn.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Squares are vulnerable to artillery and also
musketry as they have few firing dice.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">Shake
the enemy infantry before you countenance sending in your cavalry in frontal
attacks.</span>Bill5549http://www.blogger.com/profile/11434081732765212404noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-605747911165768180.post-40133287150126914252020-04-20T11:02:00.000+01:002020-04-23T00:16:38.648+01:00BLACKPOWDER V2 TIPS FOR PLAYERS No 2: OPTIONS FOR VICTORIOUS UNITS
<br />
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">Introduction</span></b><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">For
my second set of tips I decided to deal with the options for Victorious Units. This
section of the V2 rules has significant changes from V1.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>A Victorious Unit is one which has been in
Hand to Hand combat, and all of whose opponent enemy units either Retire or
Break.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It can do the following actions see
Pg 72.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">ADVANCE
UPON THE RETIRING ENEMY</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">SWEEPING
ADVANCE</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">SWEEPING
ADVANCE AND CHARGE</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">DO
NOTHING</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">CHANGE
FORMATION</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">FALL
BACK</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">OCCUPY
BUILDINGS </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">The
first 3 three options are new or amended compared with version 1 of the rules.
See Pg 73.</span><br />
<br />
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">ADVANCE UPON THE
RETIRING ENEMY</span></b><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">The
unit moves back into contact with the retiring enemy unit.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It must have a normal move that allows it to
do so.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>So, infantry cannot Advance Upon Retiring
enemy cavalry.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>A Victorious Unit can do
this even if Shaken or Disordered.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The
engagement continues in the following turn with the advancing unit counting as
having won the previous round.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If there
is not enough space to move or the Retiring unit has retired through Friends,
then the ‘Advance Upon’ cannot occur. </span><br />
<br />
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">SWEEPING ADVANCE</span></b><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">This
is only an option following the first round of a combat where the unit charges
or counter-charges and the enemy either Retire or Break.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The unit can make a move to its own front up
to its usual move distance without contacting the enemy.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Disordered units cannot make a Sweeping
Advance.</span><br />
<br />
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">SWEEPING ADVANCE AND
CHARGE</span></b><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">This
is only an option following the first round of a combat where a cavalry
unit<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>charges or counter-charges and the
enemy Break.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The unit can make a
Sweeping Advance to its own front and charge an enemy unit.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This creates a new combat engagement which is
worked out immediately.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">Units
which are Disordered or Shaken cannot make a Sweeping Advance and Charge.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Cavalry units can only make a Sweeping
Advance and Charge once during a turn.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>However they can make a Sweeping Advance and Charge followed by a
Sweeping Advance.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">The
enemy being charged by the Sweeping Advance can only respond by Holding their Ground
or Turning to Face if cavalry.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="background: #F1F0F0;">So there can be no response</span> of closing fire,
counter-charging, evading or forming square.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>This makes Sweeping Advance and Charge very dangerous.</span><br />
<br />
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">Note</span></b><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;"> that British Heavy
cavalry with the Gallop useful rule, <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">if
able to do so</b>, must always make an Advance Upon the Retiring Enemy, a Sweeping

<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">I
thought I would let you see the tips for players that I produced for the players
before The Great Game in Glasgow.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Here
is the first of the four of them.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The others will
follow over the coming days.</span><br />
<br />
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">Introduction</span></b><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">It
may be glorious to get all of your units heavily involved in the action but
that may well not allow you to get to day 2 of the Great Game with some of your
units intact.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We want as many players as
possible to get to Day 2.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This is not
tactical advice on formations/reserves etc. - its all about what you can use in
the rules.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">It
is important to know how you can withdraw your units and how to recover their
strength.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Firstly understand when to
retire your units which have heavy casualties especially once they get to a
Shaken state i.e. Casualties equal to their stamina, as any further casualties from
shooting will make them take a Break test and they are vulnerable in hand to
hand combat.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Secondly understand how to
recover casualties from units and make full use of it</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">Note
that units in Hand to Hand combat cannot be Ordered including Rallying Pg 67.</span><br />
<br />
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">How to disengage</span></b><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">Retire
under Initiative</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">A
unit which is unengaged can use an initiative move to retire facing the enemy
Pg 36.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They can interpenetrate friendly
units with no penalty Pg 37.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You can
also attempt to order them to make multiple moves away from the action but that
is not guaranteed.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">Disorderly
Retreat</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">An
unengaged disordered unit within proximity range of the enemy can use an
initiative order to make a Disorderly Retreat Pg 51.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This allows them to retire facing the enemy
but they do not recover disorder at the end of their turn – their disorder
lasts to the end of their following turn.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Best to represent this with a 2<sup>nd</sup> disorder marker and simply
remove 1 at the end of their turn. This is new in version 2.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">Fall
Back</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">A
unit which in hand to hand combat makes all of its engaged opponents Break or
Retire can make a move to its rear even if disordered.</span><br />
<br />
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">How to Rally</span></b><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">Infantry
battalion and cavalry regiment commanders plus Brigadiers & Divisional
Generals can issue a Rally Order to one of their units each turn if it is within
12” of the command figure. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>“Rally round
me lads!” Pg 34.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">If
successful the commander moves to the unit, joins them and removes a casualty
from them.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It is the last command that
the commander issues in the Order phase.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>A unit with one casualty cannot
be given a Rally order so the final casualty can never be removed.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">The
command figure remains with the rallied unit until the end of their opponents
turn.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This does make the commander risk
being a casualty if the unit suffers excess casualties pg 74 <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>or being lost if the unit breaks as the result
of a break test pg 74.</span><br />
<br />
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">The other way to lose
Units</span></b><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">Also
remember that units which Retire from Hand to Combat have to make a full Retire
move and if they end up on top of a friendly unit at the end of their move they
get to make a 2<sup>nd</sup> Retire move.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>If this 2nd move also ends up with them on top of another friendly unit
they Break and are Destroyed.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>So be
aware of the available space behind your units. </span><br />

Group of gamers for one of our seasonal big games – a Back of Beyond
extravaganza ‘The Struggle for Bokhara’.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>The game was held in the Sea Scout Hall in Methil, Fife.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The staff at the hall provided tasty morning
rolls and lunch.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Chris Henry and Donald
Adamson developed the scenario with Donald acting as umpire on the day.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We used Setting the East Ablaze version 2
which is a definite improvement over the original version, and it gives an enjoyable
quick game.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><br />

I was one of the 2 Bolshevik players and our objective involved
completing a railway line to Bokhara.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>On
our table we faced hordes of Tibetan warriors and a group of Scottish
archaeologists supported by various university OTCs and a non-sectarian Glasgow
razor gang.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>On the other table was the
walled city of Bokhara, held by the Emir ad his Arab allies, which was
threatened by the advancing Polish emigres and the Whites.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Ian who was going to command the Arab allies
could not make it to the weekend as he was ill but not with Corona virus.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Chris took on that role substituting spare Turkish
and auxiliary figures for the missing Arabs.<br />

On our table we began skirmishing fairly seriously with the
forces of the Daily Llama who at one point looked liable to overrun the
railway.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The archaeologists were
attacked by the Arabs but held them off.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Our actions ended when we realised that the Forces of Freedom had done a
deal with the Emir and they were all advancing on the Altai Mountains and the railway
line.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>What followed was a long struggle
with the 4 players from table 1 vs 4 players from table 2 and 3.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>No player could pick an aircraft as part of
their starting force.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They were all
allocated due to special events.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The
Forces of Freedom both got an aircraft and they caused havoc with their ground
attacks on the way to bombing the coal yard at the Red railway depot.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I eventually got an aircraft which made 2
moves over the table before it was shot down by some White riflemen – the
horror of it.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>At the end we decided that
Bart as the Polish player had been the most successful player due to his
boldness and sheer luck in discovering additional artifacts by way of special
events. However, the team prize went to the unlikely combination of Nicol and
Jack who successfully got their excavated treasure back to the rail head and
thence to the Hunterian Museum of the University of Glasgow via Kiev.<br />

A good fun weekend and sadly our last meeting until the
Corona Virus crisis is over.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Below is a link to my photos on Flickr.<br />
<br />
https://flic.kr/s/aHsmLW8mBT<br />
<br />
Here are the briefing notes Donald prepared for the players:<br />
<br />
Supreme Command of the Soviet Steppes<br />
<br />
Players: Bill (friend of Stalin) and David (friend of
Trotsky)<br />
<br />
The Soviet Generals are very keen to take over Bokhara. So
keen in fact that they are building a railway towards the city.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This may not be unconnected to gold that is
contained in the Treasury of Kublai Khan which is thought to be within the
city.<br />
<br />
OBJECTIVE: Take the Treasury into the hands of the Soviet
peoples!<br />
<br />
Starting Point: Railway terminus<br />
<br />
Forces: Each of the Generals can take 5 squads of 10 plus
two support weapons plus two vehicles.<br />
<br />
Forces of Freedom (Whites)<br />
<br />
Players: Jim (White Russian) and Bart (Poles)<br />
<br />
The White Russian General is happy to ally with the Emir of
Bokhara, but briefly. He wants to destroy the soviet railway terminal, and if
possible, pick up some loot as well. <br />
<br />
The Polish general, firmly on the side of the Whites, is not
unaware of the gold that is contained in the Treasury of Kublai Khan which is
thought to be within the city. He has also heard rumours of the fabled temple
of Ahur Mazda, and the legendary riches which it is said to contain. <br />
<br />
OBJECTIVE: Destroy the railway terminal, kill reds and
enrich yourselves.<br />
<br />
Starting Point: Eastern edge of the board<br />
<br />
Forces: Each of the Generals can take 5 squads of 10 plus
two support weapons plus two vehicles.<br />
<br />
Forces of Archaeology (and friends)<br />
<br />
Players: Nicol (Professor Pollard) and Jack (The Daily
Llama)<br />
<br />
The Professor may be an academic, but he is not naïve. He
has brought members of the OTCs of the Universities of Glasgow, St Andrews,
Aberdeen and Edinburgh plus 10 thugs from the East End of Glasgow (The Billy
Bhoys, a mixed religious gang). He needs to spend some time excavating, before
making his way to the rail terminal where he has bribed the staff to take him
to Kiev and the west. <br />
<br />
The Daily Llama (Eton and Balliol) shares these goals,
although he is keener on attacking the Bokharans and Arabs who have recently
burnt a Buddhist monastery in the Altai mountains. <br />
<br />
OBJECTIVE: Defend the Mountains and the sacred site of Ahur
Mazda. Then seize the railway terminus.<br />
<br />
Starting Point: Temple of Ahur Mazda<br />
<br />
Forces: Professor Pollard can take 4 squads of 10 [OTC] plus
10 archaeology guards plus two support weapons plus two vehicles or planes. The
Daily Llama gets five squads of Tibetans plus two support weapons plus two
vehicles.<br />
<br />
Forces of Emir of Bokhara<br />
<br />
Players: Peter (Emir) and Ian (Arabs)<br />
<br />
The Emir of Bokhara has trained his army on Turkish lines.
He wants to destroy the Soviets and their railway terminal but does not trust
the White Russian forces. He is outraged to hear that western archaeologists
are in the mountains of his realm and disturbing the spirits of his ancestors
in the Temple of Ahur Mazda<br />
<br />
The Arab general shares these goals, although he is keener
on attacking the Tibetan raiders (who are with the archaeologists) who have
recently been raiding his oases in the south of the country,<br />
<br />
OBJECTIVE: Destroy the railway terminal, kill reds and
safeguard the sacred temple in the mountains (killing the Tibetans on the way).<br />
<br />
Starting Point: City of Bokhara<br />
<br />
Forces: Each of the Generals can take 5 squads of 10 plus
two support weapons plus two vehicles.<br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Just worked thru and approved 4 years worth of comments!! I will try to provide some very late responses to your questions. My background task for the next few weeks.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Thank you all for the positive comments. I am still an enthusiast for Black Powder as you can see in my latest Reichardtswerben game report. I generated some fans for 75mm Wild West games using Playmobil. I have bought more props for the wild west - including a water tower, railway depot, ranch and goldmine and these will be seen at some shows in 2021. Should I buy the school house? Some bargains in the Playmobil Accessories website at the moment.</span><br />

</span>Donald and I both already had figures suitable for the Seven Years
War.<span> </span>I had 2 brigades of AWI Hessian and
Brunswickers who could be employed on the Prussian side.<span> </span>Over the winter I added appropriate cavalry,
staff and Grenz units to my Reichsarmee contingent.<span> </span>So we decided that once I had cleared my
entire table from the debris of various projects that we would put on a Seven
Years War game.<span> </span>I finally achieved this
in early February.<span> </span>John Perkin brought
along his French units to bolster the Reichsarmee.<span> </span>The
first wargames book I bought was Charge or How to Play Wargames in 1967.<span> </span>So the Seven Years War has always been one of my favourite periods and finally I have the toys to play it in 28mm.</span><br />

<br />
<span style="background: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt;">The allies decided to use the French contingent
to screen the advance of the Reichsarmee as it carried out the turning
movement.<span> </span>The advance did not get far
as they discovered the Prussian army arrayed against them.<span> </span>The Prussians engaging the French with one
infantry brigade whilst their other 2 infantry brigades took on the untested
Reichs infantry.<span> </span>The Prussian commanders
on the first day of the game, Donald and Iain, proved to be hesitant concerned
due to their perceived numerical inferiority and missed their opportunity to
strike a heavy blow with their ‘Superbly Disciplined’ infantry on the poor
quality Reichsarmee. They made a single brigade advance on the Wald Forest which
was held by the ‘Freshly Raised’ Imperial infantry and then withdrew having
lost a single unit.<span> </span>Their only cavalry
attacked bounced of the target Reichsarmee battalion due to their disordering
fire.<span> </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="background: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt;">On the second day of play there was a more general
engagement with the Prussians launching a major attack on the Reichsarmee.<span> </span>The highlight was the crushing attack of the left
flank Prussian cuirassier brigade which shattered the Reichsarmee
Dragoons.<span> </span>However the Cuirassiers were
than scattered by the gallant Hungarian Hussars<span>
</span>(they of the fiercer moustaches!). <span> </span>Luckily the Prussian Grenadiers had carried the
Sud farm and this success prevented their left flank from collapsing.<span> </span>At the end of play the Prussian Army had
suffered heavier losses than their stunned opponents who claimed the day.</span><br />

game was held in Garvald Village Hall with lunch provided in the Garvald
Inn. The troops and terrain came mainly from
the collections of Colin Jack, Peter Nicholson, Chris Henry and Rob Anderson. Chris Henry who developed the scenario
altered the historical events to allow Chinese Volunteer Army reinforcements to
arrive several months early to support their North Korean comrades. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Rob Anderson and I commanded the UN (entirely US) forces
landing on the southern Blue beech. Our
2 battalions of Marines (Bolt Action Platoons) faced a few Korean troops as we
landed and Rob then had to fight of a human wave counter-attack by the Chinese volunteers
on his end of the beach. We then had to move thru the southern suburbs
towards the centre of Inchon but were slowed down to advance moves by the
rubble blocking all the minor roads. The
landings on the northern Red beach went well but struggled with the blocked
roads and were held up by more Chinese volunteers supported by T34/85s and
SU-76 SPGs. The UN had massed M7 Priests
on Wolmi-do Island to support the Northern attack but they all fell victim to
North Korean infiltrators as the UN failed to provide any infantry security troops
for the M7s. The UN air attacks proved relatively
ineffective. Air attacks in the Korean
War supplement are much less effective than in the basic WW2 Bolt Action rules. At the end of the game the winners were declared
to be the few surviving North Koreans who still held the vital temple in the
centre of Inchon.</span><br />
