Would any Colonial be interested in a double fight of the same battle (either 1776 or 1812) one using the newer single turn method and the other using the old multiple phrase? (I've only ever played the single turn method and would like to compare the two and perhaps find out why some people still prefer the old style game) Ens.Rich White 28th North Glos.Rgt.

Most Colonials can't even play ONE game, but you might find one to accept the challenge!<img src=icon_smile_wink.gif border=0 align=middle> <b><font color=gold>Ernie Sands Col, 3rd East Kent,CCC President, Colonial Camp Club LtCol,1 Konig,VIII,AdR BG,CO XXIII Corps AoO Sch,183Inf,VIII,PzC Pvt B Co, 3/3-MBC </b></font id=gold> |

But Ernie, you forget that some of us see double on occasion! Double your pleasure, double your fun! In fact, better make mine a double. In which case, Richard, I'll be happy to take part in this experiment. Either game is fine. What did you have in mind for scenario/options? Cpt.

Mike, glad you're able to see double, like myself - must be all that Christmas good cheer! I've never yet played Bennington, but suspect the historic scenario is very unbalanced, so how about trying the "what if" b scenario? I'm fairly easy about options (apart from using the rifle effects & Cornwallis cannon) although it would be best if both games used the same options except of course the manual/automatic defensive fire! So, unless you'd prefer otherwise, shall we say Bennington b scenario with all options for both games except Rifles & Cornwallis cannon? Ens.Rich White 28th North Glos.Rgt.

Dragging this out of the depths of the vaults.... Ens White and I have just finished the trial. I am embarrassed to report that we ended with a draw and a Major American Defeat. Rich knows his stuff and I could not get anything going. Hat's off. One Phase: Draw, 87 points (820/0/0/4/0, British 418/0/4/44/8) Four Phase: Major American Defeat, -101 points (American: 936/0/0/5/6, British 407/0/1/0/2) Same basic strategies and tactics were employed by both sides in both games. One observation is that the 4 phase is bloodier because every unit in range will fire, more often than not causing casualties. (We used ADF.) This made the British/Hessian ability to assume X order more pronounced. (The colonials all had rifles and were militia in name only. - unable to form X.) I was able to get at his guns because of the more fluid nature of 1 phase, accounting for 80 of my points. Any other experiences in 1 phase vs 4? Rich - your thoughts? Maj.

Yes, Richard. How did you like the 'old style'? I love to play the old version (right Sean! <img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>). So holler when you need an "old timer" game <img src=icon_smile_wink.gif border=0 align=middle> Garry Cope Brig General [url="http://web2.airmail.net/gco047/1776/DucCope/ddillon.htm"]1er,7e,d'Dillon,French, CCC[/url] (SecWar) General [url="http://web2.airmail.net/gco047/csausa/OCS/OCS.htm"]CSA OCS, ACWGC[/url] (Commandant) |

I agree with you Mike about the 4 phase ADF and the guns - unlike in the 1 phase, you can't just shove intervening units out of the way in order to get at the opponent's artillery. It's also possible that I was "luckier" in the 4 phase regarding units routing. In answer to Garry - I'm more than willing to fight another 4 phase game, although I probably prefer the single phase game engine for its fluidity and unpredictability (I still play the old Battleground games quite a bit, but this was actually my first Campaign 1776 game with the old engine.) Anyway, Garry, on which battlefield would you prefer to meet my gallant Redcoats? Ens.Rich White 28 North Glos Rgt Right Wing, British Army 1776 |
