Hi all, Quickly perusing the new second edition rulebook, I could not find any reference/rules to weather setting apart from how the snow and rain can impact the firing and combat phases of the game. I am relatively new to FOG (but not new to Napoleonic wargaming!) and so I would have assumed there ...

Hi and thanks for all replies so far.

Unfortunately I do not have the old book and so was hoping the designers would do the work in the form of a downloadable PDF.

Hi and thanks for your reply. Although I certainly welcome this rationale of just having a total of three army books (this is great!), I am not entirely sure how could the Lithuanian army list be removed from Book 3 given their regional influence in the said period and the fact that some of the fact...

Hi there, I have just bought all three of the new army books for the FoG AM 3rd edition. Looking through the lists, I am a little puzzled not to see ANY Lithuanian army lists in neither Book 2 nor Book 3. Unless it is actually there and for some reason I cannot see it, I can only assume this is an o...

Many thanks. All clear now! I think the source of this confusion is the new wording in the latest (and indeed the previous too) errata document, where on page 2 it says to add "Pivot or" before "change of formation...". I think this should be removed to be in line with your descr...

Thanks Terry. Appreciated. However, I am still confused as to what should the correct entry be in the QRS. Could you please answer/clarify my numbered questions below? All entries refer to the Movement Phase Only table in the Simple & Complex Move section. 1. Within 2 MU of enemy --> Turn or whe...

Great. Thank you!

Many thanks!

And I suppose that unit in my example would move 8MU in open (as opposed to 10MU). Correct?

Just a quick question on mixed units please. Some army lists specify that you can (and in some cases you even must) combine two different troop types into the same unit. Now, as mentioned in the Appendix of the Triumph of Nations, these mixed units should consist of troops having the same élan and t...

Many thanks!

Hi all, Could you please clarify for me as to why there are certain differences between the army lists presented in the core rulebook and the other books? E.g. some numbers in the French Infantry Corps D'Armee 1812 from the rulebook do not correspond with those given in the Triumph of Nations book f...

Many thanks indeed! I do appreciate your feedback and help! (Just in case it was not already clear), my annoyance was certainly not targeted at gamers or even the designers as I love the game! It's just that it is frustrating to see such inconsistencies, especially when I am a beginner in FOG:N (not...

I understand that the Pivot was added later, HOWEVER, in that case why does the latest errata text (page 2) still say to insert the word 'Pivot or' before a 'change of formation' for the movement phase only table? Effectively, the errata text itself (in addition to the rules and tables) do not corre...

Yes that line in the reference sheet exists under the Movement Phase Only, Within 2MU of Enemy. However, my question is about the "Pivot" line under "Over 2MU of Enemy" (not Within!). The current reference sheet (released with the latest official errata) states N/A both for Stead...

Great, thank you!

Thank you! So, effectively: 1. Light Cavalry that is non-Irregular can ONLY be in a Skirmisher formation when taking an Extended Line formation; and 2. Irregular Light Cavalry is always considered to be in a Skirmisher formation whether it is in tactical, extended line, march, etc. Correct? Thanks.

Pivot is only for extended line and artillery and is meant to allow you to try and face your enemy if they are close, so not allowed unless the enemy is right up in their face. At other ranges the unit would have to wheel or prolong to change facing to the enemy. But this is not what the official e...

Great, thanks. I think I will try both in 1 inch and 40mm and see which one suits me and my opponent(s) better. I do also like to have a little bit more space to manoeuvre.

Dear Commanders, I was just browsing through the newly updated (downloadable) reference sheets and noticed on the first page what I think is possibly an error: In the "Simple & Complex Moves" table, under the 'Movement Phase Only', the Pivot line for 'Over 2MU from enemy' states N/A fo...

Cavalry there is just column or normal formation and extended line formation. Light cavalry in extended line can evade. Irregular Light Cavalry in whatever formation and Regular light cavalry in extended line get to move as skirmishers (though only Irregular light cavalry can ove outside deployment...
