Skirmisher 0 rating and poor shooting ability put -2 on the shooting factor. This brings the effect of a volley down by an attrition, half a loss, not a great deal. On the plus side, the Russians get the stoic ability. This makes them more likely to stand up to the shooting. Given that there are pro...

There is no specification of targets for these orders. The requirements of the order are sufficient. Occasionally the attack or engage order is fulfilled by advancing towards an objective. Usually the requirement to make a charge or fire a volley makes the enemy the'target'. It is an excellent system.

I would suggest that any game with 300 or fewer points would have only the C. in C rolling for C.P. Division commanders roll for their CP on activation. If there are too many points available for distribution by the C in C the mechanics of the order system will not work correctly. CP should be in sh...

There is an error here I believe at 2C. The pursuit move of the HC is treated as a new charge. It is the reactive player's unit that is charging, hence it must still be an opportunity charge. Under 'resolution" of an opportunity charge in the rules, cavalry charged by opportunity from the flank may ...

Pretty much correct. To move with a charging unit, a unit must move in the same group as a charging unit, or move to a morale support position. Such a unit may fire in support. What you cannot do, is move a unit that is not in the same group as a charging unit or moving into a morale support positio...

The first question about morale support, Fr5 can only get morale support from correctly aligned unis, I.e none. Hence yes, they can only assist Fr5 with fire support. Second question, multiple charges with units of the same division on the same turn is perfectly possible, CP and positioning permitti...

No, the only way a loss gets removed is from performing the rally action. This requires a general with the unit, 2CP plus other conditions. See the page about rallying.

Whoops, somehow I have forgotten the +2 for column attacks. The British position is a complete disaster.

It is quite rare to see two units charge the same target. The rules do permit this. They state that one counts as a supporting unit for the other. Getting a guaranteed flank is perhaps the only situation where it is helpful.

Question 1 If Br 1 opportunity fires it will still count as morale support because it is physically there and not disordered and facing the same direction, corner in 2UD etc.It will not count its skirmishers for the combat. The British player would be unwise to do this as he can guarantee at least e...
