When you didn't have the British hidden from French view - as at Albuera, pieces of Quatre Bras, or some of the fights in Eastern Spain - then things did not all go the British way.<br /><br />I only see two solutions: hidden British deployment, or variable time moves.<br /><br />Hidden deployment covers the surprise factor, and possibly gives the British the chance to get their fire and their charge in. However, I can see French players getting mighty tired of essentially walking into a buzzsaw all game periods.<br /><br />To counter that, you may want to incorporate variable timeframes. One of my personal favorite rules does this, where the amount of time (and thus actions) a unit has available to it is variable - from 1-3 per turn, decided by card draw. Will the British be able to fire, or will the French have the time to deploy into line once sighted?

Much clearer than many books on the subject actually. Thanks!<br /><br />Best Regards,<br /><br />StokesWSTKS-FM Worldwidehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14173042438761572040noreply@blogger.com
