Bataille Empire

I am missing something. Using your "wood piercing" artillery phrase, makes me think you can fire deep inot woods, but line of sight still exists. So can you explain to me? The intent in particular was to allow units to charge enemy that they knew were there, but unable to have LOS. I.E.your dude on ...

In France, and I deplore that, we are flexible concerning the center to center for contacting units. But if not, there is few situations where this possibility can outcome. So I think the flexibility is in charging to center. I don't think p 42 says you cannot charge unless you can contact he cente...

SO this is basically 1814 French infantry with conscripts. So this takes the conscripts out of being able to group move with mixed order troops in line. That's our conclusion?

I think you have it right as the general consensus.

Yes they can 1/4 turn but I would still apply your limit on not exceeding their overall move distance further corner to present position.

Also I think common sense would say don't add 2 UD to a roll of 1.
