By Fire and Sword "1st game"

 

            Well that was easy. I said BFaS and Kal jumped right in. Now I think at some point he may have tried to get me into BFaS. I was too pig headed, mean, or dumb to actual check it out. Now that I have, I am the asshole.

            I am hosting the first game. The FPs were close enough. No advantages either side. I think we played on too large a table. I ran with 6x4. It should have been something like 100cm by 100cm. Or a 4 by 4.

My List

      I continue with my standard of taking little to no pictures.

                                  

The shit we missed or cheated each other on;

            * Table size, gaming area, it should have been a 4 x4. We played on a 6 x 4. This larger area screwed with the ability to command our armies. The command range and number of command elements created situation where unit remained out of command for most of the game.

            * Both of us are long term NetEpic players. So when it came to the end of combat resolution, we wanted to dice off. There is no dice off in BFaS. The cumulative result from combat is all that determine who wins.

            * MM and SM penalties. We started off charging 10cm. It should have been 5cm.

            * Command Range; We started with only 20cm radius. It should have been 40cm for the Gen and 20 for the Lt.

Questions during the game.

        1.) If an enemy charges through your line of sight and you have a charge order, can you intercept (with a counter charge)? The unit counter charging is not the target of the charge.j

                    So when you have a charge order...you declare a target for that charge...if that target for your charge has a charge order, then it may counter charge as a response.  Now that isnt to say that a unit of yours with a charge order could not intercept on its turn a charging unit that failed to connect with a charge on its initial move before the additional charge move that turn. 

                        Counter charge can only be done by the target of a charge, if that unit has a charge order and did not yet start its charge. If another unit crosses your front to charge another unit, you can then charge that unit. If you contact it before it contacts your other unit, and it can not partly move on (only open order) then that charging unit will not contact its original target. If you contacted the unit in flank or rear, then the charging unit's (initial charger) order changes to movement.

        2.) A unit of Dragoons shoots a unit of Gonullu, armor 2 Vs effectiveness 3. Save or no save?

                    * No save
