I was conscious after taking the pics that I might have had French guys on the wrong side...though you have to really look hard to see the anomalies. So far, I've gotten away with it, though I expect having now put up pics on the Field of Battle Facebook group...I will be caught.Duc de Gobinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10668407600014604176noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5763828223576460584.post-1104321792758704642018-05-01T10:25:02.117-07:002018-05-01T10:25:02.117-07:00Thanks Jonathan.

Am thinking of setting up Neerwinden very soon - classic French attack against fixed position...<br />Getting used to some of the nuances in the rules too now. <br /><br />One change for the 1688-1697 period; that French cavalry can have immediate melee - with Allied as 'bullet' cavalry, while in rules as written for later 1700-1714, it's the other way around as Allied cavalry favours the charge in later years. This makes a big difference as one side will be waiting for melee card.<br /><br />...and yes...and those rolls are REALLY hard to beat.Duc de Gobinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10668407600014604176noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5763828223576460584.post-57082455369855794512018-04-30T14:14:41.418-07:002018-04-30T14:14:41.418-07:00Looks great

I'm still learning some things about the rules, but the things that can be accomplished on a single opposed dice roll, takes half the time, which keeps things fast paced and exciting.Duc de Gobinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10668407600014604176noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5763828223576460584.post-28152233785966402522018-04-30T12:48:21.529-07:002018-04-30T12:48:21.529-07:00Lovely armies. 4 hours looks good for that size of...Lovely armies. 4 hours looks good for that size of game.Normhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05031444717952755557noreply@blogger.com
