I suppose you could really chop it up:

– issue Charge Orders

– resolve shooting

– issue other orders and resolve charges

Just so I am clear, Orders are given after Shooting is conducted- do I have that correct?

I think you have to use a hosting service such as Imgur and even then only a direct link will work I believe.

I couldn’t believe my luck to discover there was another historical gamer in my area that was also interested in the same periods as I. He was already fighting cancer when I met him so we were friends for just a few years but he changed my war gaming life.

The scenario based loosely on the Cherbourg scenario from the Last Argument of Kings supplement.

Does it mean the unit automatically gets the best result possible on the table or does…[Read more]

I think Blood and Plunder is set in the buccaneer period, 1650- 1680 where as the Marlborough figures are better suited for post 1700.

There doesn’t seem to be a restriction on charging the closest target. So, for example, in a recent game a unit of horse had a target 6″ to it’s front and another target 16″ to it’s rear; the horse chose to spin around and charge to target to it’s rear.  It seemed valid, if…[Read more]
