I should probably run the numbers and see how a more coordinated attack from two columns would have faired. On the shooting though, only one of the columns was stopped, 2 went in and it was the A-class defenders that really hurt them rather than the number of shooters<br />Wargamer Stuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05108623245011101004noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-868602762603205154.post-66332532838018956182017-03-15T14:44:53.078-07:002017-03-15T14:44:53.078-07:00If anything the number of troops that can shoot ou...If anything the number of troops that can shoot out of a building (12 per side) may be little high. The defenders in ths case, were A class, but then so were the atackers The defenders had the benefit of artillery in the town too, I wonder how easily a battery could be sited and fired from a built up area? I struggle to think of a Napoleonic example, but at Blenheim, the French in the village appeared to suffer a lot from the British firing in upon them, perhaps because they could not fire out of the village in ordered ranks, whereas Marlborough's men could fire in using their three rank formation. So maybe the trade off for being in a built up area is that you gain in protection, but lose in firepower??lewisgunnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01935143236897047636noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-868602762603205154.post-15852843163732186542017-03-15T10:44:41.991-07:002017-03-15T10:44:41.991-07:00I simply designated the town as 6 zones (3x2) with...I simply designated the town as 6 zones (3x2) with each treated as a separate "building" but not space between them. The only real decision is where does someone ejected from the front-line end up if the rear line is already occupied. I was going to say either sideways f that's free or routed from the table as the town was righty against the edge. A future one could feature two large farms more central, in which case routed units could end-up behind the BUA Wargamer Stuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05108623245011101004noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-868602762603205154.post-33227302345447658522017-03-15T02:56:59.929-07:002017-03-15T02:56:59.929-07:00Interesting to see how the rules worked in such a ...Interesting to see how the rules worked in such a dense built up area - is some tweaking in order or do you think they work ok as is?Strykerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14258922461691204362noreply@blogger.com
