PBI 1
I took this too Roll Call just cause I like the Westphalian Army, expecting to lose all games since this would be my first tournement playing FOG N. It was a steep learning curve, but I learned so much more playing the game than by simply reading the book.
I managed to play over the weekend two french armies one who for some reason had a large amount of German toops with them
and both Russian armies.
Most of the armies had taken large amounts of Infantry and not as far as I saw much Cavalry. One of the Russian armies had mass'es of cannon.
I did'nt do any reports to busy trying to work through the rules, but I have had a think about what I learned from this weekend:
1. I will mostly be defending(was all four games) only having a PBI of 1 almost makes that certain. The terrain was a lot better than FOG AM, the defender laying first and then alternately for the rest ment the defender had a good chance of getting terrain. I gained the large hill in three along with the extra points to your army break
2. I picked a river as this fills a good bit of the table.
3. Don't deploy right up to the 6mu from the table edge, deploy as far back to allow you to move since a defender can move to the 6mu line. This allows you a bit of lee way to react to your opponent.
The army list is as good I'll get using the Westphalians. I've dropped the horse artillery and added a 6 base unit of conscripts.
4. A lot of armies use large units
5. In deploying keep the army tight together its hard to adjust your deployment.
With regard to the Army list above I will I think drop the Horse Artillery Battery and take a large conscript unit instead, more infantry does seem good.
