Squarebasing 2012

When i get to it i will do some work on the pre game.
Maybe  a quick start and full start?
The pre game should reflect  skill in decisions made rather than just a random pluck.

Personally I think Square Bashing for the type of game is great as it is. WW1 version of PBI would be better effort well spent ? As WW1 was such a big battle arena , the Western front could be by passed as the main event ? But there would have to be a gap so soon after MexRev ?
Even though I am very slowly trawling thru a British force for SqB and an British Brigade for SCW, amongst my DAK and if needed Indians.
As this time of the year I try and concentrate on Scenery, as the warmer weather is better for drying out the materials used, so I do try and take advantage of it.

Square Bashing is a great game. Consideration needs to be given to the 900 point games, which we play regularly, I cannot remember when we last played a 620 point game (could be my age). I am thinking mainly of confirmation or not of what else changes, if anything. Previously I brought up assets which were not to be increased or hasty defences from two to three, again which were not to be increased, which is fine.

The replacement of two reservist units when you have 9 or more in the starting army. Should this increase to 13 or more reservists in the 900 point game?

I assume the Trench and Canal games are, in the main written for 620 point games. In the 900 point Trench game, should the defender lose 6 bases of infantry instead of 4? Should the defender damage 3 each of artillery and MGs instead of 2 each? Both these would be harsh on the defender but it did come up in conversation.
