I actually like both of your approaches. I suppose you could really chop it up:

– issue Charge Orders

– resolve shooting

– issue other orders and resolve charges

I am intrigued by reversing the Move/Shoot sequence. Just so I am clear, Orders are given after Shooting is conducted- do I have that correct?

Hi vodkafan,  little late to the game but I don’t think you can upload pics directly here from your desktop or laptop. I think you have to use a hosting service such as Imgur and even then only a direct link will work I believe.

Whoops! Here is the fixed link: Codsticker’s Historicals.

And thank you for the nice comments.

Wonderful post and great write up.

Fantastic piece!

Thank you Auty, I do miss him. I couldn’t believe my luck to discover there was another historical gamer in my area that was also interested in the same periods as I. He was already fighting cancer when I met him so we were friends for just a few years but he changed my war gaming life.

Bit of a late reply but probably the ECW figures would be a better fit. I think Blood and Plunder is set in the buccaneer period, 1650- 1680 where as the Marlborough figures are better suited for post 1700.

Thanks CtG.

Yeah, I have given up posting here as I find getting images and links to work a bit of a problem.
