Bataille Empire

Yes, it’s rather confusing as the section begins with a unit/group can change its orientation by a single wheel of a maximum of 180°. Then goes on to say a unit can performs several wheels during a move. I think I would interpret that as the maximum amount of wheeling is 180° which a single unit can...

Yes an army breaks not individual divisions, the system seems to work well as typical armies only have between 10 and 15 units. However what is important is objectives and give the game some focus so if an army doesn't break you can still get a crushing defeat if you've just sat at the back and wait...

My view is the following please post comments if you agree or disagree. Troops moving back must move...

I had this reply from Herve regarding this topic:- Threatened Flank apply during a combat whoever the charging or charged unit is concerned. It can happen at any time during the charge. For example if a cavalry charge a unit and during its charge is fired by another unit on the flank, it counts as a...

I am wondering how the rest of the world is interpreting threatened flanks when in combat as there seems to be a mismatch between the diagrams and what it says in the rules. See attached diagram Square B1 already has 2 losses from enemy fire. The A1 dragoon charges (+2) with Attack order (+1) and be...
