pge 56 DICE ALLOWANCE 'all other troops and situations' include all of the following .A unit even partially in rough or dificult terrain .a unit of infantry in square .a unit in march column formation .a unit of light infantry entirely in skirmish formation .a unit of irregular light cavalry in any ...

ans its not logic to fight with the same number of dice even in -poa

but book says only for infantry or cavalry in tactical or extended line
for artillery not a word . even in all other situations

how many dice for the artillery in close combat ?
i cant find it. propably 0?

lasalle skilled charismatic

yes but in the results of firing table (pge 54) under 1 or 2 hits there are 2 results: CMT to advance / Cavalry must retire to 3 MU if closer (with asterisk on pge 54 \ no asterisk on PLAYSHEETS ).
What is the reaction of a cavalry unit if get shot at 2 MU and takes 1 or 2 hits?

A cavalry unit assaults an infantry and takes 1 hit from defensive fire at 2 MU.
does it have to retire to 3 MU and stop the assault or it retires to 3 MU takes a CMT and if succesfull makes contact with its target?

the british cavalry is at skirmish formation so it is the "all other troops or situations" in the combat table. as for the brigade officer attachment , on page 89 under officers it says " ...he behaves in every way like a division commander except that he has no command points and onl...

everything you say its ok but i am trying to tell you that skirmish screen at long range artillery shooting doesnt make sense!
i am not talking about tactics now. i am talking about sense
lets wait for some form of more official answer

and consider that my skirmishers fire at you for 1 round needing 5+ before my infantry charges .
i want to understand why this 2 MU stops the guns from ignoring skirmishers for long range shooting and makes this tricky situation!!!

you sound reasonable but imagine this: i have my infantry brigade against your large heavy 12lbs artillery battery starting at 16 MUs with a light infantry unit in skirmish formation 1 MU in front of my brigade . i play first , you shoot only at my skirmishers needing 6s. and this is going on till i...

yes you are right my friend about the combined arms in napoleonic warfare and the skirmish screen but have you ever see skirmisher screen at long range? i dont. skirmishers cant screen the cannon ball so thats why the rules allow you to ignore them when you fire at long range at targets behind them ...

feel free to ask

my friend pptheos says that if we go exactly by the rule , positioning a unit of skirmishers 4.5cm in front of a unit in tactical and moving them against an artillery unit starting from 40 cm distance , means that the guns cannot ignore the skirmishers and fire to the unit behind cause the distance ...

hi. i ll try to help you although i am new to this game also. answers 1.) c . it must take a CMT . owner chooses if change to square or not. if CMT is failed it drops a cohesion level but if decided to make square it does. 2.) yes but with the help of a CMT cause it is a second move 3. not sure for ...

...Infantry can support infantry and artillery, so forget about putting your cav out back. Quality does not make any difference for support in FOGN, so you can have conscripts supporting veteran grenadiers if you want, however the conscripts only get rear support for cohesion tests if an actual uni...

1.) if a unit has to take CMTs for multiple reasons ( for example it is disordered and wants to charge and is also light cavalry in skirmish formation and wants to charge a non skirmish cavalry ) does it takes them all or just one will make the job? 2.) i am a bit confused with the meaning of : chan...

thx guys

can a unit change facing and/or formation and move afterwards or it needs a CMT to move cause the move after the change of facing/formation counts as a second move? ex. a french line infantry unit in extended line changes formation to tactical. can it move 15cm forward or it has to pass a CMT cause ...
