I have found it now sirs! Muddy a quick question how do we choose the scenarios? Is it just by agreement between the player?

Good job Ken

Can I clarify rule S.3

Would I be right in thinking that a skirmisher can, in association with a friendly formed unit, melee an enemy formed unit?

Mark

This is my first time to particpate. What game are we supposed to play in the Campaign 1815 bracket?

Sir Muddy
do we have to choose scenarios or you will send to us battle files like in MOE3?

Really my good general, all the honor is for me.[:D]
I never crossed the sword with you and it is a good occasion for me to play a britannic gentleman.

Tell me if I'm wrong or right, but so far I understand the rules (and it's not sure with my bad english) we must decide if we use NME or not, if we use the embedded melee, ... etc. I propose that you contact me at Yann.Lamezec@wanadoo.fr to discuss the matter.

Best regards

Dear Sir Muddy,

First, I too thank you for all of your efforts in putting this little soirée together. I do have a question and a couple of clarifications.

Clarifications:
1. I recommend that rule S.5 be changed to read:
S.5 NEW: Cavalry units with a strength of less than 25 men cannot, INTENTIONALLY, be used in covered terrain to block road movement of larger units (also see miscellaneous rule #8).

2. I recommend that Misc. Rule 8 be changed to read:
8. NEW: Formed units with a strength of 25 or less cannot move next to enemy units, may not be used to block retreat routes, UNLESS IT ENDS ITS MOVEMENT STACKED WITH OTHER UNITS, and should generally be withdrawn from the front lines whenever possible.

Question:

First let me say that IMHO, the Embedded Melee Phase is by far the best home made rule to be agreed to for HPS pre mech games since their inception. For me it put a stop to, what I considered, the ahistorical blitz tactics, that not having an EMP allowed. So my question is, what is the point of the EMP if any movement is being allowed after melee's are concluded? Therefore, I recommend that rule M.1 be changed to read:

M.1 If the “no melee elimination optional ruleâ€

<font color="yellow">Yes, intentionally, of course. Honor.</font id="yellow">

<font color="yellow">Of course; if stacked with another unit then it would be ok. Let me caution, however, that such a unit could pose potential danger when stacked with another unit -- it is more likely to rout and take the other fellows with them. Best to direct it to the rear and safety.</font id="yellow">

Thanks for the speedy reply. In the case of EMP interpretation, we'll just have to agree to disagree. None the less, I am looking forward to forthcoming competition. Again, I thank you for all of your efforts.

<font color="yellow"><font size="4">It has occurred to me that I cannot give players the option to choose brtween the "no melee elimination" rule in HPS and an embedded melee phase. Thus, I have decided that the "no melee elimination rule" will be in effect for all HPS games. If both players object, then they can solicit the game master for an alternate file without this option turned on. Even the best of plans...</font id="size4"></font id="yellow">
