Sorry to be the “wet blanket” here but the intention in “Glory Hallelujah!” was that a standard cavalry unit dismounts as a standard unit of skirmishers. It was that way for two reasons:

1) keep it simple

2) if units drop by one size when dismounted then it means that for a small unit 1/2 hold horses when it would become a tiny unit – obviously…[Read more]

Hi there Tom – I’m glad that you like it.

1) As per the normal rules troops in buildings would not count as formed. I take this t be because in a cluster of buildings the attacker would be able to tell precisely which buildings were occupied and which ones were not. So we play that just like normal.

2) Yes – that was the intention. The modifiers…[Read more]

Dave is assuming a miscalculation when it could simply be that whist the brigade commander ordered a charge, the unit command thought it wiser to advance and fire. I’d always allow them to fire. The idea of a unit doing nothing is just… well…. plain silly.

Why not count uber large units as two standard units in extreme cases. 1000+ might be in this realm of an average French bttn (at Waterloo) is 600.

…and while I’m here don’t forget that most cuirassier regts at Waterloo are small units!

Thanks Jim. Seems like a glaring omission though.

Ha – so there is. Somehow I missed that. Many thanks!

Thanks All. Don’t tell anyone – but I’m not going to use BA. I just wanted to make sure that I wasn’t going to wreck 300 infantry for future BA use.

Would I be right on  assuming that the split stats page 83 ect. 12 pdr smoothbore , 3 ~2~1 means close range 3 dice to hit , medium 2 dice  and1 dice long-range – yes, that is correct

Skirmishers …are these impervious to being targeted ? No – they the shooter suffers a penalty of -1 for the target being in skirmish order

How do they compare to the older plastic set? I think that they are better. All of the SMLEs have their bayonets fixed – which is much more authentic.

Do the figures in this new box set look more beefier or slimmer than the original set: they are beefier, slightly but look and feel better for it in 6 basic poses then you added the arms / weapons,…[Read more]

Mine have arrived  – gorgeous.

There’s no precise scale Garry because of the simple fact that when Glory Hallelujah was conceived people often used different size units to what was recommended in Black Powder 1st Edition. My own preferred scale was 15mm for ACW and for Naps it’s 28mm – but I use 36 figure units, not 24. BP2 has done away with much of this with simply stating…[Read more]

Jim,

Sorry – but you said that “it was too late for that” – I took that to mean that you weren’t interested in pursuing it any more? I’m not employed by WG – only a couple of the supplement writers are – so it sometimes takes us a few days to catch up with the forum.

Regards,

Dave

Crops and trees often contain too much inherent moisture to burn. Crop fires are far rarer than house fires… I think.

Give it a long hot summer – dead or dry undergrowth then it all burns.

Hi there! I’m the chap wot wrote it… and yes, Garry has it spot on.

It’s really dependent on size of units and the brigade frontages. that was the problem from the start, with some folks having physically smaller units than others and now with the “epic” scale it’s even more fluid with potentially 100 figure regts. I hope that helps in some small way?
