I've been wondering what I could do...Good idea. I've been wondering what I could do with my drummers if I don't base them with their units. Now you've got me pondering a homemade hero clicker sort of thing. A magnetic base on the drummer with a pointer and a steel circle with numbers.<br /><br />I've been sneaking turns in on a test game. When it came to the melee I wondered why the mechanism did match the pattern (<i>which brings a conversation from about 4 years about to mind </i>). It worked well.

Fiddly to place and replace, but less likely to "self reset" than a small die, and nicely hidden from your opponent.Lentulushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07748125314815303831noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2839601747923375105.post-91004187878105175952012-02-14T14:56:36.152-04:002012-02-14T14:56:36.152-04:00Yeah, this is just a cleaner way to do what I did ...Yeah, this is just a cleaner way to do what I did it from 2003 until 2008/9 but once I put it in words it did sound a lot like BP.

I tried to fix that about 3 times and ended up with a variation of the same error every time. <br /><br />I can remember from earlier days when this was the way I did it without the nomenclature, watching brigades start to creep near the tipping point so that one could either haul them out of line before they cracked and start the slow process of rallying if left alone or covered by the reserves or trying to hit and crumble them before they could pull out, depending on which side of the table you're on.Ross Mac rmacfa@gmail.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04053555991679802013noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2839601747923375105.post-65677345191837231152012-02-14T12:54:11.085-04:002012-02-14T12:54:11.085-04:00Playing, 5 d) "may move full and then shoot u...Playing, 5 d) "may move full and then shoot unless charging. It may also move before shooting but " <br /><br />I am fairly sure the second sentence should be shoot before moving.<br /><br />Otherwise pretty clear. It will be interesting to see how tracking 9 hits on the grenadiers looks. Should give an interesting failure mode for a brigade.Lentulushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07748125314815303831noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2839601747923375105.post-47205795143693037792012-02-14T11:48:39.817-04:002012-02-14T11:48:39.817-04:00Looking forward to that versionLooking forward to that versionLentulushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07748125314815303831noreply@blogger.com
