Roll Call results have been added to the UK ranking site on gamebase.games

This how we have played it. It is in the spirit of a vague rule.

Not quite sure about some of the answer. Charges against an opponent not in front begin with a wheel and then move straight ahead perpendicular to the axis. The diagram on page 37 is confusing (wrong!) because the charging unit has been reoriented not wheeled. We believe the unit should wheel to a p...

Page 48 on ranges states infantry skirmish fire is at effective range. Threatened flank applies at the time of the combat. If a unit is charging and is fired on from the flank during the charge, the flank is threatened. I would suggest that a later activation cannot be unsafe from an enemy that has ...

I have now added my reference sheet for reactions and orders to the downloadable items.

Several players already us...

The Army list preparation program (described in the Alternative Army List Program thread) is now available to be downloaded from the gamebase.games website. I have a new program available there for anyone who wants software to host a BE competition. It uses the scoring system currently available wit...

It seems someone deleted the zip file from its Dropbox location. It is back there now. Should you be looking for it and it isn't there, just put a message on here and I will replace it.

However, to move the cavalry with the charging unit, it must be placed in a support position at < 45 degrees and within 2UD of the front corner of the charging troops. This might be possible, but the geometry would be difficult to...
