I suspect I will use it more as I like the way friction increases as unit losses increase. It also encourages the use of reserves which remain effective later on in a game.Peterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02918057670249529750noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7174146262920547660.post-582905137275459652022-08-14T18:36:05.658+10:002022-08-14T18:36:05.658+10:00Another great report, Peter.

I recon if the French had another foot men at arms instead of a yeomen unit, then the battle would have gone the other way using these rules.<br />As for is OHW a classic? It is for me given the number of times I refer to it, but is the passing of time one of the factors required to make something a classic?Peterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02918057670249529750noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7174146262920547660.post-52285021199054017752022-08-13T11:58:07.612+10:002022-08-13T11:58:07.612+10:00Peter, great looking table and a fine scrap.

Duplicating the historical result is a good start and comforting validation of your rules, OB, and terrain.<br /><br />I enjoy seeing you reaching back to the classics for inspiration. Is Thomas' OHW a classic yet? I think it is! Jonathan Freitaghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07862373894196924886noreply@blogger.com
