Advancing artillery in the face of opposing musketry is a tough chore for artillerymen. This action proved the adage.

The ru...Thanks for the compliment, rebel scum! :)<br /><br />The rule about firing over friendlies can be a bother, to be sure, but it does force one to site the artillery carefully, and think historically about dividing the battle into a bombardment phase and an infantry phase. Artillery in the firing line on the defence still works a charm when it rolls 2 dice a stand firing canister at 6BWs or less.<br />The Longstreet rules are quite clear but very subtle. For example, it took me ages to realize that units which fire can still move, they just can't combat. If my posts are useful to you, I'm delighted.Mad Padrehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00410143683610813671noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6519665561624985779.post-19289597953411709972016-04-27T13:03:46.209-07:002016-04-27T13:03:46.209-07:00Thank you Michael.

I have to say, I wasn't really sold on the Cigar Box mats when I saw the ads for them, but they really do bring the table to life, and they are quite durable. If a chap doesn't mind the roads always being in the same place, they are quite fine.Mad Padrehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00410143683610813671noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6519665561624985779.post-33854230736782637502016-04-27T13:02:44.725-07:002016-04-27T13:02:44.725-07:00Thank you my lord admiral.Thank you my lord admiral.Mad Padrehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00410143683610813671noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6519665561624985779.post-72733994345285838662016-04-27T12:19:46.382-07:002016-04-27T12:19:46.382-07:00Thanks!

I have enough officers and personality figures based individually that I can mix them in with my multifigure troop stands, without having to faff around with sabot bases or whatnot. I bought the Terrible Sharp Sword supplement to use with SP1, but now with SP2 it's all within the same set of covers. I foresee hard marching and fighting each day!Mad Padrehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00410143683610813671noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6519665561624985779.post-34973185573551469272016-04-27T11:49:32.925-07:002016-04-27T11:49:32.925-07:00I'm pretty sure the fella cooking the grits wa...I'm pretty sure the fella cooking the grits was the same feller who was stackin' them arms and legs outside the field hospital.
