Not everyone can stand watching holes being battered into their pristine lines...<br /><br />The Napoleonic feel of 'Charge' has I think to do with the handling of light troops (skirmish clouds, light companies integral to line infantry battalions) and the response to cavalry charges. I gather that in the 7YW an infantry unit caught isolated might form square, but in general infantry felt confident enough to see off enemy horse by musketry alone (provided, of course, they didn't come upon you from the flank, like Krosigk's Horse at Kolin).<br /><br />Cheers,<br />IonArchduke Piccolohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15533325665451889661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4117993143431075280.post-9657519024268683252011-02-14T13:56:11.377-08:002011-02-14T13:56:11.377-08:00AHHH!

Very nice.<br /><br />So what did you think of "Charge" vs "The War Game"? Does a preference leap to mind? Or were there things you preferred in each that you liked better than the other?<br /><br /><br />-- JeffBluebear Jeffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05171345165563779232noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4117993143431075280.post-35397717579615043362011-02-13T11:47:32.329-08:002011-02-13T11:47:32.329-08:00Simply love your armies and buildings...Simply love your armies and buildings...Capt Billhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15990089081015713972noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4117993143431075280.post-51610775232670481752011-02-13T10:22:51.732-08:002011-02-13T10:22:51.732-08:00I agree with Stokes.
