This is the second NT game I've played...Darren,<br />This is the second NT game I've played recently and I have to admit I'm liking them more and more. I think they appeal to both the "old school" enthusiasts as well as more contemporary rules fans. <br />Some may deride their lack of C2 and chance elements in the game but those features can be quickly built in (command distance from leaders and event cards can be easily introduced).<br />I'm going to try out the same scenario with Shako and also with "Warfare in the Age of Napoleon" and see how they go. I'm excited to play Shako again as it's been a few years.<br /><br />Goodness you're not kidding. The British units chewed up those French columns quickly and decisively hitting on a 3+ with each stand!! Going to have to think of a better way to dislodge them from those hills...<br /><br />Maybe bringing artillery along with the advancing infantry, moving up a line to shoot, then rushing in with an assault column or cavalry squadron?<br /> <br />That would take quite a lot of men to push out a single battalion.

I do seem to remember that the British firing line was a bit dangerous.<br />Great game.Duc de Gobinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10668407600014604176noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1194255716971534690.post-63107058898718510272015-12-16T15:40:40.471-05:002015-12-16T15:40:40.471-05:00Phil,
