It is about as much as I can manage before the brain seizes up.<br /><br />It does remind me however that a small brigade action played solo on the dining table ia a much neglected wargaming genre.johnpreecehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05548014163096067684noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33041938.post-5316717545893254582010-04-01T21:58:36.686+00:002010-04-01T21:58:36.686+00:00My thought on simple systems where dice affect thi...My thought on simple systems where dice affect things is that you need to look at the overall result over several turns rather than the effect each turn. Over a period of say 1/2 an hour, the rebs lost a fire fight. The die roll here is a combined Target morale and shooter fire effect roll. The factors covered by in the roll ate myriad. The real question is "do the rules encourage reasonable historical tactics and delver belevable results on average?Ross Mac rmacfa@gmail.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04053555991679802013noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33041938.post-91607743694234712692010-04-01T14:24:58.077+00:002010-04-01T14:24:58.077+00:00An exciting move.

May I give a suggested rationalisation of the varied shooting scores - probably be shot to bits myself but hey ho.<br />Good volley - first volley in action - we're all loaded, gotta shoot the enemy.<br />Bad volley - ouch, they're shooting at us - let's keep down behind the wall if we can.<br />Excellent volley - officers and sergeants encouraging return fire, they haven't hit too many of us, got to get out of this.<br />That's how I would look at it Steve but I am in the camp of those who accept the 'odd' variations of dice and say it represents any number of imponderables. The most bases lost was one each time wasn't it?<br />Best wishes<br />JimJim Walkleynoreply@blogger.com
