Bases in this batrep are 4" by 2" rectangles but I have played with 3" squares like Volley and Bayonet or Grande Armee.<br /><br />I am really digging single based units, especially for "big battle" games like this, commands and colors, etc.<br /><br />Feel free to reach out with questions.Disgruntled Fusilierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10995610821904415726noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1194255716971534690.post-14178015581314246662020-09-26T00:20:13.509-04:002020-09-26T00:20:13.509-04:00Sir!

I assume each is a brigade? I really like the link of you troops! <br /><br />I will also need to try a few solo games to give the rules a try. I may have sone questions, if that’s ok? <br /><br />Regards!

Looks even better on camera!<br /><br />I like that the mechanics worked smoothly to make "historical reality" and that every event could easily be explained in a typical historical narrative. I had great order rolls at start, bad at the middle, and average at the end. But one turn of hot shooting dice helped me break into the Austrian center on the hill and that was it. I played the French, so of course I had to be "sneaky" since I work for the Corsican Ogre.<br /><br />Can put a few more concepts in from my medieval rules and it'll be nicely done. Then on to some AmRev tweaks!<br /><br />Hope Home 6 is feeling better.ECW 40mm Projecthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16170190784599775214noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1194255716971534690.post-59682976355559041602020-09-07T14:08:54.324-04:002020-09-07T14:08:54.324-04:00Looks incredible!

It gives a good narrative and "feels" like a battle account. <br /><br />The French running out of ammo with both artillery units and subsequently rolling lousy for orders forced Alex to make some tough choices about who to order and his guns remained silent for a few turns. The counterattack with the Austrian grenadier reserve was thrilling to watch them go forward and plug the hole in the line.<br /><br />I like the idea of the lull but, if you're the attacker and under pressure to move, it can be frustrating!<br />Not to fear we will be playing many more games of Eagles in the coming months.Disgruntled Fusilierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10995610821904415726noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1194255716971534690.post-11434821033656768912020-09-07T12:56:56.636-04:002020-09-07T12:56:56.636-04:00Steve, this is a really handsome looking table.

I like ‘lull’ tuns appearing in games, though three in a 15 turn game must have had someone pulling their hair out :-). All good, more of this would be good!Normhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05031444717952755557noreply@blogger.com
