George replied to the topic Warlord Games a DISGRACE: Epic Battles ACW Pre-order received in the forum General Discussion 3 years, 1 month ago
Wow. I’m sorry that happened to your order. Just thinking this through a little though. Are you in England? If not, did your package go through customs and get inspected? I’ve gotten packages opened before and resealed by customs.

Big Al, you say “There is an uphill advantage during combat which you lose if you are pushed back.” I’m going into the rules trying to find that uphill advantage. I can’t find it. What is that advantage?

Okay, more to ask.
6. There seem to be no movement penalties for moving up a hill or down one. Am I missing something? Shouldn’t I slow down a bit going up a hill?

Hello,
Well I got two armies now. One is Dutch (under a British COC) and the the other is Bavarian (under a French COC). Each army has a 3 regiment brigade of cavalry, a 3 battalion brigade of infantry, and a battery of 8lb smoothbore artillery.
So, I played a solitaire first game with Black Powder rules. I enjoyed testing the rules but came up…[Read more]

I cannot see the images, I checked the links and they are invalid.

Craig replied to the topic Thread Approval in the forum General Discussion 3 years, 1 month ago
Ive added an update to the forum software that should prevent it from being so strict in future, external links to images should now in theory work without needing approval. Hopefully that works!
Images can also be uploaded as attachments to the forum as always, with a maximum file size of 9mb.

George replied to the topic Bending Lines in the forum Black Powder 3 years, 3 months ago
Also, this leads to a peeve i’m having with the scenario rules. Map sizes aren’t given. I get this in that playing with different size miniatures will mean different size maps (6 mm require less battle mat than 28 mm). I wish a chart was made for the scenarios giving recommended sizes for the type of miniatures being used (i.e. “In this scenario…[Read more]

Hello again,
Developing my first battlefield for Elixheim. I went cheap for starters. Bought a 6′ x 4′ green felt fabric to be my battle mat and some other felt fabrics to be my rivers, roads, and fields.
The fields turn out be be very small if I go exactly with images from the map on the battlefield. I’ll probably fudge this to make the…[Read more]

George replied to the topic Plug Bayonets Question in the forum Black Powder 3 years, 3 months ago
That’s correct. Plug bayonets had there handle ends shoved up the gun barrels with the blades sticking out so they were hard to dislodge once inserted. Hurt the English when fighting the Scots at the battle of Killiecrankie. The Scots got up close to the English. The English tried to insert their plug bayonets but couldn’t get them inserted in…[Read more]

Never mind. found the answer to my question. French started to use them in 1703 and British used them under Marlborough. Now if I can only figure out how to delete my own post?

Hello,
Question, I’m looking at the rules in Last Argument of Kings for plug bayonets. I understand that in the War of the Spanish Succession (which I’m building my army for) used socket bayonets? Were they introduced before or during this war? Would the plug bayonet rules work for this conflict or for earlier wars of the late 17th century? Please advise
