L’e Battle Waterloo
1815
He has return join the colors needed wing commanders and ADC plus Corps commanders!
Here Historical rules
In a Mul- national Army the command is split between the allied commanders who will be commanding their own Armies. Prussian Command will be a Field Maréchal plus one wing commander and one ADC; British army commander plus will have 2 wing commanders 2ADC plus a Cavalry commander. The French will have One Army Commander and two wing commanders plus two ADC.
The French Armee commander/ umpire would get movement orders (files) from his two Wing commanders.
** It would depend on how many players we can get interested in participating. Ideally, it's best to have a separate player for each corps. Also there should be separate Anglo-Allied and Prussian commanders moving their own troops and having to communicate by courier.
A) Well I believe to begin this game we would need;
French; two others for wing commanders to move the wing
British; one wing and Cavalry commander
Prussian; one wing and ADC courier
8players total to began game
Note: (note ADC can replace missing Wing commanders and so on Army commander can call for new officers to join the battle from the Club placing them under the Wing commanders if one of the wing commanders leave the game these new commanders will tack over as new wing commanders the officer who left will be considered wounded in action an will get the legion of honor medal Chevalier class (approved first by the Army commander).
1. Cavalry can not at no times charge into towns or cities or villages.
(a).cannot hold ground (blocking streets or Roads) or advancing infantry
(b). Cavalry can move in Div or Brigade but can not attack in Div or Brig or regiment
. Cavalry can not fight in woods but can finish a charge in the woods and towns and cities.
©. Cavalry can stake up in Div or Brig or Reg in a hex to charge but all charges are done in Sq.
(d) March Order: No unit stacks on the road march, by Sqns and Divisions (2Sqns) elsewhere;
3. Sk Skirmishers can not be no more then 3hexs from parent unit in battle can be in woods and villages plus
(a) Special rule Prussian and Austrian light’s who come on the map with out parents are considered ME same as a Batt may move as other ME.
(b) Sk can not attack Art but may fire on them
© Only SK can fight in woods no form Infantry can fight in woods
** Perhaps we should have different rules for skirmisher sub-units of line infantry and light infantry? While sub-units should attempt to keep adjacent to their parent unit as far as possible, whatever the terrain (eg. 1 hex in front, or 1 hex to the flank or rear), light infantry skirmishers could be left to garrison chateaux, woods, villages, etc, and would only need to keep within 3 hexes of the parent unit in open terrain.
** What about in other difficult terrain, such as rough or orchards? Should infantry in column be able to operate in both of these, and perhaps just orchards?
(a) No unit can set in the same hex as a Art unit Artillery can’t unlimber in towns and villages or buildings
5. Infantry, most be in the same ME they cannot interpretative another ME most be from the same regiment you can not stack different Brigade together.
** Perhaps the relative size of the units and the direction the cavalry are facing should be relevant? For instance, it wouldn't make sense for a 500+ strong infantry battalion to avoid contact with say 12 cavalrymen. So maybe if the infantry are 5 times as strong as the cavalry (or 2 times if the cavalry are disrupted or facing a different direction), then they should be allowed to advance into an adjacent hex?
(b) Disordered unit may attack/advance only with a leader;
© Conquered and occupied Objective Points in towns and villages must have some garrisons (a troop/company of infantry or troop/squadron of cavalry, or a wagon-train);. Infantry may not shot across their skirmishers who are in front of the infantry;
(d). If any disordered/routed/isolated troops without a leader find themselves AFTER A MELEE behind the enemy's front line, they must to capitulate and draw themselves into a location indicated by an opponent;
*(e) Once a unit (except Guards) has lost 50% of their strength, it can no longer engage in offensive actions.
(f). A ME can move no faster then the slowest unit in that ME
(g) Infantry ME can move up an thou sk and Artillery unit to fire and charge if they are the parent unit
(h). Infantry can not go into line inside of blds and only on road street hexs
