Thanks for making the ruling Brett. It always good to get an independent view. Surf was going to win anyway. Well played to the Surf and the Ottomans.

I'd argue in terms of the listing of results in the outcome table that the first result did not apply. The first on the list is infantry in square in contact with cavalry. This wasn't the situation as the square was in contact with both infantry and cavalry. The only result in the outcome table that...

Feeling a bit petulant after almost turning some tactical and strategic errors in today's game from defeat into a chance at at a draw with my 1815 Prussians against Surf's Ottomans. I had a melee against a large disordered square on a hill with infantry to his front and cavalry to his rear, they had...

Or allow an exceptional CC to reroll a failed CMT like they can for a failed recovery test.

Bloody he'll that's complicated Keith. Too long in the civil service!

Brett ran a great tournament managing to umpire a few complicated rules issues while playing himself. My 1812 Russians had a Skilled Charismatic Commander and three Continent Divisional Commanders. First Division had small AV LI, small AV inf w MA, small AD inf w MA, small Hvy Art AD, small AD LC, s...

Thanks Terry. I am sure that a bit more care with the list design will produce something that delivers the battle shape I want without infringing the list restrictions. Tracking three for four sets of restrictions, core vs. optional, and maxima requires a bit of attention to detail when at the same ...

Ohhh... and the guns need to go in the Russian division not the Prussian mixed division as the Prussians must have "... more than half the units in a mixed division as infantry."

I decided to add Prussians and Austrians to my large collection of Russians. These had lain idle for three years after painting 600 in five weeks for my first go at Napoleonics in a tournament in 2009. That tournament used "First Volley" a rule set developed in Hamilton (New Zealand). I ch...

Indeed Brett the list is similar to the one you faced but corrected for further illegalities. I had assumed my Russians could take an officer with their guns but unfortunately not and I corrected the lack of Prussian Cavalry attachments. I had used large units of supported infantry and guns, of dubi...

I've had a some good games with various combinations of Russians, Prussians and Austrians. My most recent permutation has been a Prussian base mixed nationality corps. This has an ACV of 37 and plus 5 on the dice roll to attack. Skilled Charismatic Prussian Corps Commander Competent Prussian Divisio...
