Too Fat Lardies

M, 1) Steep slopes = Also see the GdA FAQs. Attacking Uphill Disadvantage.

Dorsenne is correct!

Remember the maximum number of attacking battalions against a BUA is two, so if you have three columns massed, then only two may initially attack.

2 columns are side by side and within 5cms - so all are massed.

3 columns are side by side and within 5cms - so all are massed.

And so on.

The main point to bear in mind in this situation is that if a charge starts from 15cms or less - then the defender cannot react at all. (see 5b. p44.)

DB
