Well we all have our preferences. Regarding Ligny, apart from the Horse Artillery which can move ,the lack of limber on the heavy units is deliberate to save unit places for the other types, because of the 64 unit limitation and achieving a balance between the sides. I wasn't aware of that! I agree...

Thanks! I will give it a try soon.

Dear All, it is, of course, a novice's question, but it is not clear to me how to edit unit characteristics? I have found the squad.csv files in campaign folders, but there seems to be no explanation on which number represent what. Where do I find the legend for the columns? I am mainly interested i...

I find this scenario quite appealing, however, there are issues, namely the mobility of artillery. It seems the heavy gun batteries cannot limber, and move only one square per turn. Can it be ammended? I am looking into the possiblity of modding it myself...

There are now a fair amount of musket & bayonet scenarios available for Pike and Shot. There are battles from the Seven Years and Jacobite Wars, a couple of Napoleonic battles, and some American Civil War and Crimean War scenarios available. I haven't played any of the games in question, but ne...

No. Most units get a free 45 degree turn, unmanoeuvrable units don't, they pay 4 AP for a 45 degree turn. This makes them less manoeuvrable. Many accounts of 19th-century battles stress the fact that best units were conspicuous because of the swift performing often complicated maneuvers on the batt...
