Napoleonic Wargame Club (NWC)

Bonjour à tous,

I am looking for someone willing to play the Russian side on one of the longer scenarios in <font color="yellow"><i><b>BG </b>- Napoleon in Russia</i></font id="yellow">. Since I played Kutuzov Turns to fight many times, I would like to try one of the variants where the French arrive by the south.

We could discuss it but I would prefer to play with all options on (except line movement restriction) and no house rules.

I am waiting for your <i>messager</i> at pyguinard@hotmail.com

See you on the battlefield!

I can't take the game right now, but was wondering why you don't want to play with "line disruption" ON[?]

My way of seeing things is that the <i>line movement restriction </i>option does not reflect historical realism.

From what I learned about the Napoleonic era, batalions were able to advance in line formation on clear terrain without <u>automatically</u> getting disordered. Even before these days, the armies of Frederick the Great were a good example of good line movement. They were able to form lines to (slowly) move forward to meet the ennemy, in good order on the battlefield.
