I hadn't fully appreciated that there were so many modifiers to take into account, inevitable I suppose where dealing at regimental level. I play both BOFF and the Seven Years War version, neither of which have this problem. I was considering buying the rules but this has made me think again to be honest. Have to try actually playing the download version I guess but will also be interested to read how you get on.<br />Regards<br />JimJim Walkleynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33041938.post-15319280287626137862010-09-17T16:08:33.673+00:002010-09-17T16:08:33.673+00:00Thanks guys....

DG and I know the kind of things that would change the modifier and would just re-calculate it when such an event occurs......Steve-the-Wargamerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07077311120172727690noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33041938.post-618111549061579432010-09-17T14:19:15.367+00:002010-09-17T14:19:15.367+00:00Hello Steve

For various games my friends and I use little markers of cottn wool, either on card or small pieces of dowelling. For BOFF we put one by a regiment for worn and two for spent. I was going to suggest this in place of the black pin you use for a base loss and perhaps orange and red or black for the status. We think the white puffs look quite good but, as with all these things, it is in the eye of the beholder.<br />Regards<br />JimJim Walkleynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33041938.post-30258059842207860852010-09-17T10:45:05.501+00:002010-09-17T10:45:05.501+00:00Thanks for the report . . . of course, since four ...Thanks for the report . . . of course, since four of my ancestors served in Confederate units (one each: Texas, Arkansas, Georgia and Virginia) I would have preferred to see the South win . . . but I'll congratulate you anyway, Steve.<br /><br /><br />-- JeffBluebear Jeffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05171345165563779232noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33041938.post-20435618943649125842010-09-16T20:18:37.819+00:002010-09-16T20:18:37.819+00:00Sounds like a brisk and enjoyable little encounter...Sounds like a brisk and enjoyable little encounter.<br /><br />Sounds like a good opportunity for some single figure markers. Depends on how long the list is though and what exactly the modifiers are.<br /><br />With BOFF (Basic Original F&F) we had loading figures for low on ammo, casualties for disorder, officers waving their swords around for breakthrough, that sort of thing. With other rules I have used things such as the position of drummers, colours etc to indicate that a unit moved (as in behind the unit if stationary, in front if moving full. For Armati, to track hits we used to use casualties with the edges of the base painted either red, white or blue for 1,2 or 3 hits.<br /><br />Of course Charles Grant recommended having an extra body around to keep track of such things. <br /><br />-RossRoss Mac rmacfa@gmail.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04053555991679802013noreply@blogger.com
