The cavalry in your example wouldn't need to test anyway cos there isn't a test for a loss after melee, only after shooting results :D ... Otherwise, your approach seems sensible ... but the rules, as written, do require the firefight test for the L3 unit, notwithstanding the sensibility of not doin...

True ... but consider, if it is a firefight test, then by the sequence provided the surviving L3 unit tests first.

Alternately, if it isn't a firefight test, then the L3 unit would still have to test for taking an extra hit.

... the only hiccup being that units arriving from reserve can't charge or shoot ... Basically, under v1 the arriving units/divisions were proscribed by their orders and a normal divisional activation. The v2 arrival mechanism has them effectively activating out-of-sequence, and under some special m...

Exactly what I thought ... but, then again, maybe the newly damaged unit should test for having taken another loss (the close presence of the enemy isn't relevant to that new loss level other than the morale boost from seeing them scatter) ?

Actual in-game banter/language is always a risk with gamers :D ... To date the best I have come up with showing off BE games is a turn-by-turn photo sequencing to show the passage of a game. But that conceals the activation-by-activation nuances of BE. Usually, I just send those around a few other B...

Hmmm, I'd always played it as units being able to be astride an obstacle; just on an assumption that the ground scale would render an obstacle invisible at the ground scale of our troop basing, thus it is more of a designated game-effect rather than anything else (ie to get the game-effects either y...

FWIW, I'd always worked on the assumption that any lateral move was all you could do in a turn (ie not combined with anything else).


Likewise, I've always treated a slide as being able to be combined with other movement (forward or back), and ditto for formation changes.

In a just completed game, the French were defending in an Assault game and to make up their 66pts of off-table reserves they had their heavy cavalry division (ordinary general plus two elite cuirassier = 48pts), plus a unit of L3 hussars out of the LC division = 10pts, plus a L2 provisional infantry...

The conditions for a firefight morale test state that if one has failed the test, the other unit doesn't then need to test. But what happens if one is eliminated by the shooting ? In a just completed game, a depleted L4 infantry unit (a good shooter but with 3 losses plus an attrition) was approache...

The additional two videos you have just posted, are every bit as good !!


Thank you for your continuing efforts with these !!
