Redoubt’s and fleches

When you get into special terrain, you need special rules.

The Clash of Eagles Supplement does have some rules for Earthworks and Entrenchments.  Mostly, they suggest defining them as light cover or heavy cover and require you establish the capacity of said features… like one artillery unit and one standard infantry unit, etc.

I think the formation should be “irregular” formed line.  So the unit fires with the proportion of the line facing the enemy but H-t-H with the entire unit.  You can decide whether the unit has flanks or a rear quarter, my sense is any quarter the unit can fire out of would be a “front quarter” and any quarter the unit can’t fire out from would be a flank or rear quarter.

For a combat result modifier, the value should be defined like buildings using a value of 1-3.  Be careful against making them to powerful.

That is a tricky one, Peter. I can see arguments for and against.  I can imagine troops in the safety of the redoubt ignoring the rout of nearby friends, but also what happens if those routing friends rout back in to the redoubt for safety and spread panic.   The first option, where the defenders ignore the break, makes the redoubt more valuable so perhaps it’s a matter to be agreed before the game based on how much impact you want it to have?
