Because of the nature of Field of Battle, one has to accept that things may not have occurred *exactly* as they seem. It may have been that the infantry formed square, knowing their flank was open and their cavalry was out numbered 2:1, and then the Chassuers, scouting ahead, reached a small dip in the ground and to their surprise discovered the Grenadier square there, whereupon the Grenadiers unleashed a well loaded and well aimed volley, emptying many saddles!

Is that generally a difficult thing to do, or was it because the Chasseurs were stunned?Lawrence Hhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11626386564817082992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9170582445870210697.post-63475685869591218082020-06-23T22:34:06.140-04:002020-06-23T22:34:06.140-04:00No argument there, but the impetus and cards may d...No argument there, but the impetus and cards may decide otherwise!

I am OK with Down 1 for shooting for Squares and Columns, but would probably restore the UP 1 as a target for Columns from Infantry fire. We'll see.
