Scenario adapted from Might & Reason so units represent Regiments/Brigades and a fairly abstracted version of battlefield.
Minor scenario rule in that Prussians during first turn (ie once through deck) roll against a D8 (rather than D6) on their Move cards to simulate surprise and disorganisation caused by Austrian attack.
Also Austrians start with a Move card in hand and will automatically win first initiative.
Prussians have 20 units the Austrians 34 although some arrive as reinforcements (on 2nd and 3rd Move cards).
We did fight this scenario before with FOB2 but keen to get another outing with FOB3.
Nice! Keen to see this game, with the best rules out there ;)
ReplyDeleteBeen awhile since they have been used other than in solo mode……
DeleteWell laid out, should be a very good game. Remember to roll even numbers. :-)
ReplyDeleteA roll of 2 whilst better than 1 never seems to be enough :-)
DeleteI look forward to seeing this one played out. I'd probably just make the Prussian LD's DOWN 1 for MOVE rolls the first turn, which I think is actually worse statistically than rolling vs a D8, although the average pip result would be the same.
ReplyDeleteLD down 1 or roll vs D8 not much in it I guess, had thought of removing 1 Move card but adjusting dice rolls seemed better. Either way it is an attempt to stymie Prussian mobility reaction initially.
DeleteNice looking game. Enjoy….
ReplyDeletePlayed it on Thursday and twas indeed a fun game even if Prussians on a hiding to nothing !
