We use all the supplement rules except for Whipped, only because on practical gaming grounds we prefer to have these units leave the table and open up a bit more room for maneuver as the game progresses (acknowledging this is probably less realistic).

(Yesterday we had a cracking refight…[Read more]

Just a couple of questions re charges and the -2 modifier in particular:

1) Are troops defending buildings considered formed troops for the purpose of charges, ie does the -2 modifier apply?
