| The question is if anything changed that would justify to use different values, I know from the Napy series that things changed and a 6lb has not always the same performance. Of course this war wasn't as long as the Revolutionary & Napoleonic Wars, still if things changed different value are wha... |

| Thanks. Allow me one question, do you have to monitor or are you notified in some way when your opponent has uploaded a new file? |

| Would be nice if the gentlemen share their experience with dropbox. I thought about using it too but it mainly seems a benefit when doing large files, that seems why it is used by the boardgamers. |

| Not sure, but my guess is there is a limit for everything and so a post likely has a maximum character limit. |

| The real difference is phases vs turns. AFAIK in phases casualties are added up and based on the overall amount of casualties the check is made. so not matter how few or many units fire on an enemy unit, if they would amount to 25 kills you would have that 50:50 chance of triggering a moral check.

| Yes I think this is a pure probability value based on event. So if a leader gets fire or is in a hex that gets fire, the values listed in the PDT are the probability to take out the leader. Same counts for melee. |
