Ok, 11th at PPHQ I'll cancel Entoyment

Stewart

Some thoughts

Dervish riflemen,
         allow to change to hand weapons if
                 Attacking   (medium action) before a fight

                 Defending free of charge but no opportunity fire

If this is adopted then Riflemen should cost more than spearmen

Stewart

My round markers should be fine as only 1 unit in a square and they affect the whole unit as to number of bases able to fire


Stewart

Martin
What forces were used?

You have a pack of jammed markers in your range pack No20

Stewart

Allow Derish infantry to move 1 square and charge cavalry,
Also I don't think cavalry shouldn't get opportunity fire as they would be drawing Swords to charge

Stewart

Sean,
A dozen should be enough with extras you might get from the skim chart

Stewart

Last game we put a number of die = to number of fights/shots and took one off after each fight/shot

There is a planned play test day for the PITS rules at Entoyment, Poole on Saturday 11th October.

Martin and I both have two armies and a complete table set up.

We have 3 tables booked (£60)
BUT
At the moment no one else has signed up to play.

Just asking, is this because of the following

1. Not interested in the period
2. Bad time of year
3. No army (see above)
4. Something else

Stewart

Moving stuff in the loft I found some I must have bought a long , long time ago in a distant galaxy


Stewart

Good news Martin
Clear the decks for Gurkhas

Stewart

No , they can have their roll but if they didn't declare their move then opponent can move their piece before they move

Stewart

Idea
if players don't tell their opponent if they are moving up or down, opponent can move your pice one place up or down

Stewart

The British mission - reconnaissance of a village and return with the information

Forces
British- 3 foot units all average

Dervish - 3 foot units, 2 average, 1 raw
          2 mounted, 1 average, 1 raw

Win to the Dervish

Some thoughts

Mounted units get 1 free sq movement in the open, can't use to engage combat , can't use if adjacent to an enemy unit, not for scouts.

Scouts - get 6 action dice no adjustments, move as mounted, scout scenery medium action

Opportunity shooting
Shoot at enemy on a face at 1/2 strength rounded down , minimum 1 shot, make enemy think twice before moving across face of the enemy

British rifle jamming
Every 3 shots in a turn , roll 1 D6 , 6 scored ,1 base jammed , easy action by unit to unjam


Stewart

Very nice Sean

This event is in 4 weeks time (from  14th September).

As with the TCR day, it will use rules that are not finished.
The PITS game will of course be very playable I hope.

By the PITS date cavalry, camels etc should all be well tested and ready to play.

Here is the first  post about the day.
This time we need to account for matched opponents. We do not want British V British or Dervish v Dervish.
Hence, if you bring armies can you also say what each army type is.

1. martin + table+ Dervish x2, British, British camel corps, Egyptian

2. Stewart + table + Dervish(infantry,cavalry) British Naval Brigade, Egyptian,British Camel corps, British cavalry , RN gunboats
