Whilst a fairly limited game in what...Thanks gents,<br />Whilst a fairly limited game in what can be done it was indeed a pleasure to see it come to fruition.<br />Balance is always a problem but there has to be ( in my opinion ) unpredictability hence in Charles’ rules volley fire is 1d6 per 6 figures firing with a minus2,3 or 4 for close, medium long range. First volley is one less so a first volley at close range could potentially cause 25 casualties! So can you hold your nerve, my son mainly let loose at medium range.<br />The melee is one v one and perhaps the +2 on impact should have been a +1 but if I did that I may keep the +1 in the second round.<br /><br />Carlo,<br />A lot of people did spend a lot of time talking about figures, fur etc. not many photos have appeared on blog reports which is a little disappointing but a barren moor with armies lined up hasn’t much to offer photogenically compared to most of the other games. But it was great to play and great to spend time with my son<br />Graham Chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05229770388869939725noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3611047535751803008.post-11415515636765717162022-05-24T10:23:01.631+01:002022-05-24T10:23:01.631+01:00A very nice looking game that sounded historical-i...A very nice looking game that sounded historical-ish - although maybe the charging clans were a bit too effective? I guess as wargamers (and/or Scots!) we like to give the Hielandmen a chance of an upset - which in reality they never had at Culloden. As John says, it must have been a great joy to see your plans to get Culloden on the table realised - we played it as a game over twenty years ago, I even wore a kilt for the occasion! We also had a historical result though - clansmen blown off the field like chaff!rrosshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07316317334203888350noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3611047535751803008.post-70414410379302716722022-05-24T10:02:44.237+01:002022-05-24T10:02:44.237+01:00Wonderful stuff!
