In the original John Tiller Talonsoft Napoleonic Batterground Series, you had Cavalry Counter Charge as an Optional Rule, but not in his newer Napoleonic Battles Series.

Could some one please explain why [?][?][?]

John has not emphasized the multi phase system as he has the single phase system. Thus it wasnt carried over.

Also a little history guys is in order. John had just left Talonsoft and was concerned about a lawsuit. Thus the game is different in many areas. We kept away from putting out any title that TS had done previously until we felt that the climate was ok.

Thus while NRC was in the works before Eckmuhl the latter was our first release.

Since most of the play is in the single phase style its really not an issue. And I sure dont want the AI charging my cavalry (or squaring up my infantry either) for me.

There is some feeling that John may introduce a few changes to the multiphase format. Nothing definite at this point. The new NME rule will help alleviate the need for alot of the older format.
