A few questions.
First,...Interesting write up. A few questions. <br /><br />First, you say you changed melee to Horse hit on a 4+. Don't all troops hit on a 4+? I'm confused about this?<br /><br />How did you handle melees with multiple unit. I.e. if a unit contacts a target not completely lined up did you just slide them over into full contact, or did you allow more than one unit to contact an enemy unit on the same face? If the latter, how did you work out the combat? <br /><br />The rules say steady pike get a 4+ save roll. I think this is pretty important because if you take it out, pike is no different then shot in combat. In fact, there's no use for them in the game. I've got to believe that pikes had some defensive purpose (otherwise why did they have them) and the saving roll seems to suit this ok (another alternative would be to give a negative modifier to a unit fighting steady pike).<br /><br />By the way, I assume the rules mean an infantry unit that has a stand of pike and is steady rather than just a unit composed only of pike and that is steady. Is that how you all played it?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13875677505998781373noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2058639990955824924.post-18141743870336084632009-06-22T15:00:20.892-05:002009-06-22T15:00:20.892-05:00I'm definitely adding the Koenig Krieg system ...I'm definitely adding the Koenig Krieg system for checking army morale to the End of Turn "housekeeping" phase.

You KNOW how wargamers are..."we don't like the rules as written so we'll just dick them up the way WE think they should work." We wanted to maintain the meat of the rules but work out the kludges that didn't.<br /><br />Thanks for your post!Steve Millerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06092916277791155981noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2058639990955824924.post-70000400479417274392009-06-21T17:19:00.398-05:002009-06-21T17:19:00.398-05:00Interesting comments . . . and I can certainly see...Interesting comments . . . and I can certainly see these changes for a convention game . . . and possibly for a 1 vs 1 game as well.<br /><br /><br />-- JeffBluebear Jeffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07595975572873838050noreply@blogger.com
