Too Fat Lardies & General de Brigade Forum Answers Version 5

[Tony TRT]

These are the answers to all the questions posted on both the Too Fat Lardies and General de Brigade forums for Picketts Charge. This originally started out as a document to help me understand the “Charge” rules but I subsequently expanded it to cover all the questions answered. I have posted it so that it may be of some use to others especially to those just starting out with Picketts Charge.

This is version Five of the Too Fat Lardies & General de Brigade Forum Answers which brings us up to date as of 31st December 2021.

I cannot post it on TFL but have posted a PDF document on the General de Brigade Picketts Charge Forum which can be found here:
