Too Fat Lardies

We just deployed the tank scrape as an entrenchment within 6” of a JOP and placed the tank in it on the basis that it had been in position from the start. You could mark or note the location beforehand but we didn’t bother, it was reasonably obvious where it might be.

I believe Chasseurs in this case is a reference to the men of the Light or Piquet Company in a regular French battalion who can either fight in Line or as Skirmish troops. These didn't exist during the time of the FIW/SYW French line battalions of the period only consisted of fusilier and grenadier...

The stats in the Consolidated Arsenal were created for use with the Chain of Command rules but I can’t see why they wouldn’t also work in IABSM though I haven’t checked. Try them and see. There are plenty of stats for vehicles i...

Any in game barrages are from mortars located off table which may or may not be available as a support choice. You’re never obliged to use them. Similarly for ta...

Hi Christian-Heinrich, It’s a little difficult to get a clear idea of the table you have planned without a map or photograph, however it sounds to me that it is going to be very constrained with little manoeuvre room. In those circumstances I would advise against using cavalry or artillery in the ga...
