BATTLE DAY 9TH JULY 2022

[Smiley Miley 66]

Well I have my 1861 (161 years ago) army at the ready as it was pointed up last year (160 anniversary) so my Scots will be out in force with some grey trousers for the Irish as well.
Long live Lincoln, until 1865 at least ! Live live the Union.

Do not forget the update to the rules that we now use


Updates to CWB Rules
From the PP rules site 2019.

Page 113   Victory Points

We have decided to update the victory point numbers a little.  December 2019.
This is the first update in 12 years.

Changes

Defender compensations for being the defender

5D6  becomes 2D6 (E= 18  becomes E=7)
8D6 becomes 3D6  (E=28  becomes E=11)
12D6 becomes 4D6  (E=42 becomes E= 14)

This is aimed at stopping players deliberately  being the defender and claiming a victory due to having lots of compensation D6.

The victory D6 are rolled as one complete handful.
This should even out the scores.
I suggest a re-roll is allowed. But it is group decision on the day.

Martin,
A quick question on the rules if I may...
Artillery moving limbered - move as Foot or Cavalry?

[Sean Clark]

Will there be period music played?

[Leslie BT]

Of course Sean, Martin will probably have the band with him.  Need to get the titles to him in time for them to practice!!

[colin31dip]

I will be there with my ever enthusiastic Southern gentlemen.  I can bring terrain if you would like me to.  Not worried about the victory points as I don't defend unless I'm forced to and then I end up attacking.  The only way is forward.  Or as Smiley found out, side ways Regards Colin
