However, I did struggle with redoubts and feel you may be right for a pip loss instead of a push-back in the case of melee loss, reflecting the unique intensity of HtH in confined spaces.<br /><br />I think there may need to be a bonus for a flank attack it's been my experience so far that a single round of shooting makes little enough difference to the defense.<br /><br />ALSO, I have been resolving each charge as it happens.<br /><br />I'll modify the rules when I get a chance today.<br /><br />Thanks again,<br /><br />GregBloggeratorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15501347647235993401noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2839601747923375105.post-47635392683064400312015-06-06T19:13:38.529-03:002015-06-06T19:13:38.529-03:00Backyard battle goodness!

Having taken part in a lawn battle myself yesterday (it will feature on my blog very soon) it reminded me how much wargaming outside on a nice day enhances ones enjoyment considerably.<br /><br />All the best,<br /><br />BobRobert (Bob) Corderyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13109130990434792266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2839601747923375105.post-73259197021700101072015-06-06T03:51:53.994-03:002015-06-06T03:51:53.994-03:00Haaah - a fine skirmish to be seen here.

I always supposed that if I ever did any garden wargaming it would be with 54s, and why not of course, but it's probably another example of habitual thinking.<br /><br />I have been trying out Greg's rules but I have to confess so far only with flat bits of wood, of which there is an abundance as a consequence of various failed basing initiatives over the years.Steve Gillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00784652695519954845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2839601747923375105.post-91008330630680198862015-06-06T00:32:30.448-03:002015-06-06T00:32:30.448-03:00That looked and sounded like a fine game - I mean ...That looked and sounded like a fine game - I mean battle - that could have gone either way.
