Drucken

[Fritz II.]

Hallo zusammen,

habe gerade damit angefangen, die ersten Einheiten für Maurice zu rekrutieren. Wie an meinem Avatar erkennbar ist, bin ich Fan vom siebenjährigen Krieg. Also wird sich dieses Projekt auch mit dieser Epoche befassen.

Die ersten Bilder sind auf meinem Blog zu finden   (http://www.dreispitz.blogspot.de).

Anregungen zu diesem Thema sind erwünscht. :thumbsup:

Mich würde auch interessieren, ob von Euch schon jemand Erfahrungen mit dem System gemacht hat.




Gruß

I\'m looking forward to reviewing the book with you Sunday. I figured this would be a smash hit with you as it\'s centred in your favourite period! :squint_1:

So I will take the ruleset with me on sunday

Franz is bringing me my copy. :dance4: AWI and all that......

Christopher

Oh, you´ll get your own ruleset.  

As you know AWI is just one of my favorite periods, too. I do have a lot of figures for British troops, but it will be difficult building at least two SYW-armies and a British one for AWI.

But we could begin with smaller battles for AWI - let´s say at least 3 units of infantry, 1 cav and 1 artillery. If the ruleset works well we could increase the units steadily. This means to build only 2 new units infantry and one unit cav for the British.  

Would this be a good deal :?:

[Axebreaker]

That\'s fine, :thumbup: although I wouldn\'t worry too much about cavalry for AWI. There really just wasn\'t that much used in the period.

I\'d suggest 3 infantry and 1 artillery to start first.

Generally speaking I\'d have at least a ratio of 6 to 1 in terms of infantry to cavalry for overall layout plans.

Christopher

Okay, I just kept close to Maurice which says that the ratio of the clashing armies should be 3 to 1. That means that an infantry orientated army must have at least one cav for every 3 infantry units. Artillery is not mentioned within this ratio. This ratio is vice versa dealing with cavalry orientated armies.

Let´s talk on sunday.

I´m sure you´ll like the system.


Cheers

I would have to review the book, but that ratio is completely inaccurate for AWI. Perhaps it has amendments or adjustments that are not so general. However, like you said we will discuss this in depth Sunday.

The work Michi has done is impressive and looks to be fun this Sunday and I don\'t have to lift a finger in doing anything, but just playing! :vinsent:
