I used my Russians against Prussians in an encounter type game after rolling for terrain table set up as per the campaign system.
Not a great deal has changed in rules mainly some streamlining and clarifications type stuff.
We had a ding dong battle with Prussian foot showing their shooting and maneuvering prowess (they get to move half move at no effect and full move at -1 dice compared to others who suffer -1 dice if move half maximum and they also get +1 firing when Fresh).
Only the fact that the Russians had an extra Brigade of Infantry saved them as their right wing Cavalry were crushed by Prussian Cuirassier.
Sadly their own Cuirassier failed miserably to defeat the weaker Prussian Dragoons on left !
We enjoyed the tactical aspects of Age of Reason despite the lack in inertia.
To be tried again
Nice scenario , how are they based ?
ReplyDeleteMine are not based strictly as per rules (but makes little impact). Mine are 4 Foot in 2 ranks with 12 figs per Bttn on a 30mm square base or 2 Mounted on same, artillery is 30mm wide by depth as needed for model. Rules have Foot on bases about 30mm x 15mm with 3 per base with 4 bases per unit. I preferred the look of 4 per base and less ‘fiddly’ size for moving/handling. Dont think base size really matters as long as both sides same.
