Something about lining up thousands of guys at point blank range with muskets seems to turn out badly for one or both sides.Zakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04232448966049915262noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6358312556341630911.post-41443964812637330412017-07-11T07:02:03.532-07:002017-07-11T07:02:03.532-07:00The Russians would have benefited from your wily g...The Russians would have benefited from your wily generalship.Jeffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15105115373962034056noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6358312556341630911.post-90023132980238579452017-07-11T07:00:59.443-07:002017-07-11T07:00:59.443-07:00I agree.

A complaint about these rules has been the sudden death die roll that can end a game early. One fix has been disallowing these rolls until the battle is half over.Jeffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15105115373962034056noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6358312556341630911.post-87589859377763367762017-07-11T03:21:18.787-07:002017-07-11T03:21:18.787-07:00Alas that I missed it, sounds like a good afternoo...Alas that I missed it, sounds like a good afternoon. ,(And looks like my ex-Russians missed me!)Ross Mac rmacfa@gmail.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04053555991679802013noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6358312556341630911.post-43268580518900193302017-07-11T00:21:27.202-07:002017-07-11T00:21:27.202-07:00It is a very interesting battlefield, with plenty ...It is a very interesting battlefield, with plenty of difficult terrain, no doubt resulting in a lot of very local nuanced and important situations. I like those sort of games.<br /><br />We quite often play on a bit longer after 'sudden death' type victory conditions, just to see whether the victory becomes ever more confirmed or whether the losers did actually have a fighting chance. I have played so many well designed scenarios that take the game down to the wire, that last minute swings of fortune are quite possible.Normhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05031444717952755557noreply@blogger.com
