| Hello, I'm returning to the fold after taking a couple months off to clear my head. What can anybody tell me about the current Game of the Week? I honestly don't remember ever playing a game on this battle aside from the SPI folio game years ago. What are your opinions on this title? Welcome back! ... |

| I would not be surprised to see WDS implement it as an Optional Rule in a future update. As someone else mentioned, this has been an Optional Rule in other WDS series. As mentioned, in the series' that have this option, Disordered units are allowed to melee. In this series, Disrupted are not. If yo... |

| I am currently playing an MP game in which detached units cannot Melee. What a wonderful idea. I wish the game would enforce it automatically. Seems easy enough, it already reports a unit being Detached and will not allow a disrupted unit to melee I know some say it's a game, but it is an AMERICAN ... |

| So for you guys that have played this scenario past day one, what do you do with Hancock and the 2nd Corps after it arrives between 6:40 PM and 8:00 PM on day 1? Do you march it through the night racking up fatigue or do you just get it on the map and march it march it in the morning? Generally, no... |

| Good topic here guys. Just curious, has the discussion every come up to changing the supply for artillery to dedicated supply wagons (caisson)? In the past I had a couple of battles where I've captured Rebel guns on the other side of the map, and the Rebs were out of ammo....and *POOF!* .....my cap... |

| The late Doug Strickler, the Gettysburg designer, made it so cavalry would be very foolish to fight a dismounted battle with infantry. Each cavalry trooper is worth 4 infantrymen. And each cannon is worth 150 infantrymen. I never fight Heth with Buford. Not unless individual units can be isolated an... |

| Again, thank you for joining the conversation. According to WDS everything is WAD. https://forum.wargameds.com/viewtopic.php?p=24675#p24675 But I'm not on board just yet :roll: I don't see a WDS response. If you're referring to my comment, I'm not WDS and I haven't tried to run any tests. I can onl... |

Have you tried the free S&S demo? |

| I'm a horse and musket gamer really. There was a trail a little while back saying WDS might tackle the Zulu War - that would be exciting to me but as ever with colonial-era wargames, the challenge is to achieve balance. Not easy. I believe someone is on that project, but not sure how far along it is. |

| If WDS really wants to enforce a real Fog of War on human players with units they command... then let's have some fun! Try putting a Fog of War over all the intel of friendly units . If I can't know ammo levels, then should I know their exact fatigue level, their exact number of men, or other thing... |

| Nice thread. I tend to agree with everything said' Perhaps the answer is all of the Above Higher chances of running out of ammo I mean 5 hexes in this game is 625 yards, Even If you could hit a target at that range the energy of that bullet would be very low. I own a 1861 Springfield 58 Cal, Rifled... |

| Welcome, I love Dublin and France. A few free tips: 1) Don't be too concerned about VP hexes. Destroy the enemy and take the VP hexes if needed. 2) Manage your unit integrity. Meaning, avoid being detached. 3) Watch your artillery ammo. Some scenarios will cause you to come up short if you blast awa... |
