Too Fat Lardies

Hi markantony and munin, I think I would have been a bit more draconian and treated the scenario similar to a Rout! result on the Charge Combat Results table. The losing unit immediately disperses. Any supports are whipped. The dispersed unit’s brigade is now marked with a falter marker. Whipped uni...

Here’s a scenario specific house rule that’s been used by……. And seems to work. A One-gun model fires as ...

Its possibly not quite as clearly stated as other points in the charge procedure, for example; "The attacker always has the option to use fellow flanking units as supports" and "The defender must use flank/rear supports. Nevertheless I too think "may" does mean the de...

Hi Dave, I have been a bit busy of late so I am just catching up on the forum. I hesitate to question your answer, given they are your rules, but on page 49 under "Whipped & routed reforming" it says; If the brigade is Obeying Orders, any Whipped and Routed units are considered automatically rallied...

Dave is toying with the idea of adding the Glory! Tasking to Picketts charge. I have included the Glory! Tasking from General D...
