Too Fat Lardies

Happy to do it - I hope it doesn't violate any forum rules.

Gentlemen, GdA is a very comprehensive rule set with many terms and special rules. To help our club speed game play I have created a 1-page Cheat Sheet emphasizing definitions and concepts to supplement the 4 page Play Sheet that comes with the game. To help players use these rules I am attaching th...

Now, I'm aware Brigadiers can be killed in the Melee Phase but is there any way he can be hurt during the Charge resolu...

Thanks to David, Rich and crew for a very informative video which allows shows the depth of the rules and what players need to think about. I also learned that columns always fire on the Inferior Volley line, something that is in the book but isn't clear on the Game Cheat Sheet tables. Nice to see a...

Vlad, I agree. We need to be sure we are playing the rules correctly. If so I suspect the answer is we need to soften up the target first which makes perfect sense ;) Mike, Another hint may be to use the Infantry Assault order and use two units to charge a single defender. We honestly weren't sure ...
