The three column approach gives one side the option to chance their luck and stack one column in the hope it gets selected.Peterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02918057670249529750noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7174146262920547660.post-44653786954613954812018-06-26T01:39:44.175+10:002018-06-26T01:39:44.175+10:00How did you determine which units are available to...How did you determine which units are available to each side at the beginning of the campaign? I like the idea of the three columns but how do you determine which units are available to put in each column?

As I try and keep battles reasonably balanced there needs to be a reward. Thinking on the fly, the reward of having garrisons could by to reduce the number of militia available aided by a dice roll. For every garrison 1-2 no effect, 3-4 reduce militia by 1, and 5-6 reduce by 2.Peterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02918057670249529750noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7174146262920547660.post-75424436140931583292016-11-03T07:27:18.181+11:002016-11-03T07:27:18.181+11:00Thank you.

So this is my attempt to have some fun creating my own campaign map.Peterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02918057670249529750noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7174146262920547660.post-36213347089071745812016-11-03T07:24:21.916+11:002016-11-03T07:24:21.916+11:00Hi John, It is a paper map drawn with coloured pen...Hi John, It is a paper map drawn with coloured pens. I wish I had drawn it a bit bigger. It is getting a bit squeezed for space as I start adding the battles and moves.

I like how you have adapted it here. <br />Is that a paper map, a whiteboard, or strictly electronic?<br />Regards,<br />John<br /><br />The Ferrymenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07741552972862333515noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7174146262920547660.post-21808556887470566782016-11-03T02:05:15.124+11:002016-11-03T02:05:15.124+11:00Great stuff.
