Snappy Nappy marches on Lancaster!

As has been mentioned previously, We will be running a Snappy Nappy "Campaign in a Day" at
Historicon this year, on Thursday July 12, from 10 AM to 5 PM. This will be Event T:150:10
Campaign in a Day: Spain and Portugal, May to July 1809.  The event has been significantly
changed from the one we ran at The Portal in Manchester, CT the end of April, based upon how
that game played out.

I have increase all Command radii by 3" to allow for the larger, 28 mm figures, and the Spanish
are given the same command radii as later Austrians and Prussians. Rules are otherwise per
Snappy Nappy, by Russ Lockwood. I suggest purchasing a copy through On Military Matters
if you don't have one, but it is not necessary to do so. Rules summaries are available in advance
of the game and on site for players.

Guerrillas:

Don Julian Sanchez:  Dashing (+1)

12 stands Guerrillas (Militia, 9+)

Guerrillas - Can start on any of tables  in Spain

** Special rules

1) No points are scored for eliminating Guerrillas

2) Guerrillas may always retreat off board into "impassable" mountains.

3) Guerrillas are expected to act as spies and report their findings to Allied players as they
see fit. This includes possibly forwarding copies of captured dispatches!

4) Eliminated Guerrillas will "re-spawn" in 30 minutes on any table(s) in Spain that are free of
French
troops (including Gendarmes) If none are free, they may re-spawn in off table areas of Spain
(NOT Portugal)

GUERRILLA AMBUSHES:

1) The Guerrillas my prepare ambushes on any table where there are no French troops other than
Gendarmes. (this would include the tables they start out upon, even if Gendarmes are deployed on
that table).

2) Ambushes may be set within mountains, hills, woods, or villages.

3) Guerrillas lying in ambush are removed from the table. The site of the ambush is indicated by
a slip of paper hidden under the terrain in question, noting the forces placed there and the time
placed. If there is more than one stand of Guerrillas on the table, as many ambushes may be
placed as Guerrilla stands are removed. The Guerrilla player may also place as many dummy slips
as there were Guerrilla bands on the table (to mislead any casual onlookers).

4) When the Guerrilla player springs an ambush (which may be at the END of any French phase of
a turn), he rolls THREE morale checks, needing a 9 or a 10 (usual score for militia) on any ONE roll.

5) If at least one check is passed, the Guerrillas are placed on the table and then act normally on
the Allied Phase of the turn.

6)  If NO checks are passed by the Guerrillas, the stands are placed on the table anyway, BUT
they may NOT act, except defensively, until the FOLLOWING Allied phase.

7) The GM will be advised, either verbally or in writing, of the placement of ambushes.

2) Gendarmes suffer no penalty for lack of command or being out of supply.

3) Gendarmes do count as troops on the table for the purpose of enemy movement, but do not cost
Victory Points if lost.

Campaign Map with VP  - key supply locations in red

SUPPLY:

1) Supply status will be checked once an hour, on the hour.

2) Any troops actually occupying the buildings of a Major City (3 buildings), City (2 buildings),
Town (1 building), or occupying a Fortress (roughly 6" square on the tabletop - can hold up to  
4 units within max) are always “in supply”

3) British and Portuguese forces must otherwise trace supply to Lisbon, or Oporto (should they
take it).

4) French forces must otherwise trace supply to Madrid; 2nd Corps ONLY (Soult and Lapisse)
may trace supply to Oporto as long as they hold it.

5) Spanish forces ignore all supply rules! They are always considered in supply.

6) Supply MUST be traced through the key cities and towns that are worth VP's.

On any given table, if a side does not control ALL of the key locations on that table,

supply may traced into but not THROUGH that table.

7) Any troops that are found to be "Out of Supply" will immediately take one

and only one Morale check roll immediately, with results imposed immediately.

Additionally, Troops that are out of supply may not advance more than 6” from their present positions; otherwise they may only move towards their base of Operations (Madrid or Lisbon/Oporto).

TERRAIN

On the table maps:

"Mountains" = Severe (Spanish Cavalry and Artillery ONLY may enter, but ONLY to retreat off the table, other nations Cavalry and Artillery may not enter)

"Woods" = Rough

"Hills" = Broken

Buildings = Town, except clusters of 2 or 3 = City.

Fortresses (Alemieda, Badajoz, Ciudad Rodrigo) are roughly 6” square and may hold up to 4 units.

All rivers are 1" wide (thus NO small arms fire across them), and may only be crossed at bridges, whether permanent or pontoon.

TOKEN FORCES

Some difficulty can arise when players leave token garrisons behind to hold critical bridges and bottlenecks, etc. It can unduly penalize opponents encountering such token forces when they have to twiddle their thumbs, unable to move because their opponent keeps running away to do moves in a much bigger battle on another table.  Of course, delaying the enemy (within reason), as well as getting notice of the movement of enemy troops into the area, are the two main reasons for leaving token forces to begin with.

1) A "Token Force" consists of not more than 3 units of infantry, or a single Cavalry or Artillery unit. Combined arms forces are never considered "Token Forces".

2) Wherever possible, the owning player will play their own troops provided that it does not unduly slow play on that table or elsewhere.

3) Another player on the same side, or the GM or their assistant may be assigned to run the force
if necessary to maintain the flow of the game.

4) Failing any of those, or by the consent of the owning player, the Token force may be run by the opposing player following the Default Orders given to the Token Force as follows:

Place a pre-printed card underneath the token force when it is detached,
that gives it Default Orders:

- Hold at all costs, always orienting to fire on the nearest enemy.

- Withdraw as quickly as possible away from the enemy.

- Withdraw as quickly as possible towards Deployment Zone  _________ (fill in the blank).

In the absence of a Default Order,  "Hold at all costs" is assigned.

On encountering the Token Force, and after suitably informing and getting the OK from the GM,
a player could run his own troops and pretty easily and reasonably run the opposing token force. Mostly the token force is not going to move (or will move away as quickly as possible), so one only needs to do trivial movement or roll shooting and morale for it. The Token force will impose a 60 second delay per unit each turn on the cycling of the active player. In other words, a Token Force
of 3 Infantry units would impose a 3 minute delay per turn cycle upon the opposing player. The
timer on a cell phone or similar can be used to track such delays.
