As an amusing aside, you could have a mini skirmish game between Von Bulow and Bernadotte in the windmill, as apparently very nearly happened (if I recall correctly, that is).Lawrence Hhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11626386564817082992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9170582445870210697.post-37725518368963916692017-03-20T19:05:27.852-04:002017-03-20T19:05:27.852-04:00Yes, no return to the Levant - STyria it is!Yes, no return to the Levant - STyria it is!Gonsalvohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16531623280789478092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9170582445870210697.post-79067528601208460952017-03-20T13:28:59.105-04:002017-03-20T13:28:59.105-04:00Eugene was pushing through "Syria?"

I have seen the basic map for the 1809 event, and it deals more with Eugene and John after the Battle on the Piave, when Eugene was trying to push through Syria and on into Hungary. Lots of tricky alpine passes and river valleys; the campaign that included the battles of Tarvis, St Michael, Graz (une contre Dix!), and ultimately, Raab (although that isn't included in this theater of operation).

Gross Beeren is almost two battles in one, side by side. There really isn't any change needed for going up or down by a factor of 2 (musket range is 1", Max effective artillery range for 12# is 12", 1 " = 150 yards). Unless there are secenrio specific conditions (demoralized troops, just force marched etc), units start at BOLD. Each time they have to take a morale check, they keep rolling until they pass. Each time they fail a check, they drop one status level. If they reach ROUT they are removed from play. SO a total of 5 levels. A unit can and certainly has routed on their first check! Obviously, this is much more likely for Conscripts than Elites! The game is also a warm up for our Spring Campaign in a day 3 weeks later.

Also, does the STATUS header on your troop roster denote a seven step degradation of troop cohesion from BOLD to ROUT?<br /><br />Hope you have an enjoyable game!Jonathan Freitaghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07862373894196924886noreply@blogger.com
