The historical battle records of lines of infantry holding their own against a charge is fine for regular line infantry in company size or better. But on a scale of 1 to 1 with units representing perhaps 6 or 10 men... they simply don't have the formation solidity to withstand this form of attack (these little chaps are really only skirmishers after all hehe).Stephen Gilberthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01704275344468801259noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1376834547901196785.post-37812378164226527572018-09-19T09:26:28.275+01:002018-09-19T09:26:28.275+01:00Thanks for reaching out, Kirill.

Any questions after will be gathered over the next 6-12months for a later 2019 FAQ session.<br /><br />ARTILLERY<br />Q-10:- The options for the Resistance Gunners have not been printed on page 51. Are they any?<br />A:- No, it’s a layout error.<br />Does this mean that there is:-<br />Q-10#A:- ..No options for the Resistance Gunners<br />OR<br />Q-10#B:- …..The same options for the Resistance Gunners as other cannons (0-2x Extra Crew [+3pts each], Captain with Pistol and Sword, Muskets and Bayonets for Crew [+2pts each])?<br /><br />Q-11:- Does adding the extra crew to Artillery Units increase the Artillery Unit's Wounds?<br /><br />SPECIAL RULES<br />Q-1:- Which Nations and their troops can use the 'Deadly Accurate' and 'Bayonet Drill' special rules on p.36? Examples below....<br /><br />Q-2:- Can players combine all the Special Rules for Nations, Commander Traits, Unit Leader Orders, Units, Specialists, Stratagems, etc,? E.g.1 - Do British units benefit gain two D3 shots for each 5 models eligible to fire from their Nation's Special Rule “3 Rounds-A-Minute” and the “Drilled” Special Rule?<br />E.g.2- Can one Cavalry Unit's Charge movement be 10”+D3”+2”+D6”/+D3” = 14”-21” by combining the following Special Rule and Abilities:-<br />- Cavalry Base Movement (10”)<br />- Unit Leaders Order – On To Victory (+D3” to Cavalry Movement),<br />- Independent Officer's Cavalry Officer (+2” movement),<br />- Devastating Charge (+D6” Vs Infantry or +D3”Vs Enemy Cavalry)<br /><br />FORCE UNITS<br />Q-1:- When a model is upgraded to a Sapper. Does the Sapper keep the upgraded models equipment as well as gaining an Axe? E.g.- A Line Infantryman with a Musket and Bayonet is upgraded to a Sapper. The Sapper is now armed with an Axe, a Musket and a Bayonet?<br /><br />Q-2:- When a model is upgraded to a Standard Bearer, does the Standard model gain a sword and can they use it in Melee?<br /><br />NATION FORCE LISTS<br />Q-1:- Is changing the army restrictions of 50% Cavalry and 25% Artillery, also covered by the page 39 Text boxes “Wait… Where are my Guards?”, “Theatres of War” and changes for missions and scenarios?<br /><br />THANK YOU Mark Latham for writing Chosen Men and answering the Community's questions.

I understand if they are hit in the flank or rear, but charging a line of troops, horses were reluctant to impact with the solid wall of bayonets. There are accounts of units charged frontally that held off cavalry charges, especially where their flanks are secure.

Do you see any problems with buying additional models for your force individually - by this I mean for instance buying one additional model of Lt Infantry for 8 points, rather than spending the full 40 points on 5 additional models? This would allow me to use odd numbers of figures I already have at hand.Captain Nolanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12258683012806342747noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1376834547901196785.post-9447472083709069082018-04-14T03:50:44.047+01:002018-04-14T03:50:44.047+01:00Can a unit choose the Fire!
