As a group we have been playing GdA for a very long time, mainly in 28mm at the club on a weekend or at my place. However we wanted to play more frequently, which also coincided with Dave Brown inviting us to help test out his new rules. </p><p>Combined with older Wargamers not wanting to haul many boxes downstairs to the club on a weeknight saw many of acquire some smaller scale collections for “ training” nights.</p><p><br /></p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjNB8FFtf5thehkU6OQMz7HziAIMVHAKQUXIF0-KSPSX4Ir_x0KwywGXladbzLmCLz-5CEv6qLIPhnsIMn9wFqYLCaAKpDN5nXixEjxWUQ-liG7k-fP2xS91XBitdoL5mNsakZcesUsNMsY3j8M-BrBfQSojwfDHxPms1IwS1SBUdbmg3XPImQi-dQZYw/s4032/96C51B08-0C9C-4622-8CA0-0F0E0A059A65.jpeg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="4032" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjNB8FFtf5thehkU6OQMz7HziAIMVHAKQUXIF0-KSPSX4Ir_x0KwywGXladbzLmCLz-5CEv6qLIPhnsIMn9wFqYLCaAKpDN5nXixEjxWUQ-liG7k-fP2xS91XBitdoL5mNsakZcesUsNMsY3j8M-BrBfQSojwfDHxPms1IwS1SBUdbmg3XPImQi-dQZYw/w640-h480/96C51B08-0C9C-4622-8CA0-0F0E0A059A65.jpeg" width="640" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">A shot of a 28mm game at my place a while back </td></tr></tbody></table><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEitmAhUrQfNrU3qMh8c2bCgtFcx5cBiniYNbuRsocHEXzjt-3TpDsuikI6GTajw585lwxj6fueR9DS8Qdw6L59naDha3oNJAAJQv0ohd02KhHulBTpoJ4rEi1Rcym9XMKsHEPhLEfVVBOlrSQ58LcMPdTIxJkn19oBAGjI77yNZvygd0utxp73F_c-JyA/s4032/E5657218-290F-420C-AD26-98E5EED40C04.jpeg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="4032" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEitmAhUrQfNrU3qMh8c2bCgtFcx5cBiniYNbuRsocHEXzjt-3TpDsuikI6GTajw585lwxj6fueR9DS8Qdw6L59naDha3oNJAAJQv0ohd02KhHulBTpoJ4rEi1Rcym9XMKsHEPhLEfVVBOlrSQ58LcMPdTIxJkn19oBAGjI77yNZvygd0utxp73F_c-JyA/w640-h480/E5657218-290F-420C-AD26-98E5EED40C04.jpeg" width="640" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Too much lead to haul down for a three hour game at the NWS these days.</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><p>On this occasion it was going to be a gaming Saturday where we could play out an 1815 battle with Steve and Martin’s Anglo-Prussian alliance against Richard and I.

These include rallying a faltering brigade or leading a charge from the front rank akin to Marshal Ney! The player chooses when to use these vital interventions but as in the words of one film general, should "take careful timing" as to when he chooses to ride out and personally intervene, as these actions can have a significant impact upon the outcome of the battle.</span><br style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%; caret-color: rgb(51, 51, 51); color: #333333; font-family: "Lucida Grande", "Trebuchet MS", Verdana, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" /><br style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%; caret-color: rgb(51, 51, 51); color: #333333; font-family: "Lucida Grande", "Trebuchet MS", Verdana, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" /><span face=""Lucida Grande", "Trebuchet MS", Verdana, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%; background-color: #e1ebf2; caret-color: rgb(51, 51, 51); color: #333333; font-size: 13px;">ADCs remain very much as before but have been slightly expanded to provide greater command choices in the game, such as an opportunity to influence the initiative. Ammunition resupply is no longer a tasking and is replaced with actual model caissons that represent ammunition resupply.</span><br style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%; caret-color: rgb(51, 51, 51); color: #333333; font-family: "Lucida Grande", "Trebuchet MS", Verdana, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" /><br style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%; caret-color: rgb(51, 51, 51); color: #333333; font-family: "Lucida Grande", "Trebuchet MS", Verdana, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" /><span face=""Lucida Grande", "Trebuchet MS", Verdana, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%; background-color: #e1ebf2; caret-color: rgb(51, 51, 51); color: #333333; font-size: 13px;">Initiative now has an added twist. The winner of the Initiative may now remove one hesitant marker from any currently hesitant brigade but then must immediately pass the Initiative for this turn over to the opponent!

If the French could claim it, the road to Brussels, or at least a few good ale houses on the way, would be opened up. The rules now introduce a subtle, simple yet refined scouting and deployment pre- battle process which I think is very, very good. It allows the attackers to attempt to identify and spot up to three enemy brigades deployed up to halfway across the table.

-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%; caret-color: rgb(51, 51, 51); color: #333333; font-family: "Lucida Grande", "Trebuchet MS", Verdana, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" /><span face=""Lucida Grande", "Trebuchet MS", Verdana, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%; background-color: #e1ebf2; caret-color: rgb(51, 51, 51); color: #333333; font-size: 13px;">So, two significant changes have been applied to the charge procedure. The first change involves the actual charge rule mechanics and creates a faster, more intuitive and slicker charge process yet keeps all the nuances inherent in the first edition. This means the amount of text devoted to charge rules has been reduced considerably and the entire charge process is now much quicker.</span><br style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%; caret-color: rgb(51, 51, 51); color: #333333; font-family: "Lucida Grande", "Trebuchet MS", Verdana, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" /><br style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%; caret-color: rgb(51, 51, 51); color: #333333; font-family: "Lucida Grande", "Trebuchet MS", Verdana, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" /><span face=""Lucida Grande", "Trebuchet MS", Verdana, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%; background-color: #e1ebf2; caret-color: rgb(51, 51, 51); color: #333333; font-size: 13px;">The second and slightly more radical change in the 2nd Edition is that players are now limited to one charge per brigade. You can no longer launch multiple charges from one brigade, akin to a firework, shooting off charges in all directions. There are several reasons for this.</span><br style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%; caret-color: rgb(51, 51, 51); color: #333333; font-family: "Lucida Grande", "Trebuchet MS", Verdana, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" /><span face=""Lucida Grande", "Trebuchet MS", Verdana, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%; background-color: #e1ebf2; caret-color: rgb(51, 51, 51); color: #333333; font-size: 13px;">First I could not find a single historical example of a brigade launching multiple charges at different targets all at the same time. Yes, charges were supported by additional units, but I've yet to read of any account where a brigadier ordered multiple charges in different directions against different targets. It appears to have been beyond the command scope of the officers commanding a brigade and for good reasons. </span><br style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%; caret-color: rgb(51, 51, 51); color: #333333; font-family: "Lucida Grande", "Trebuchet MS", Verdana, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" /><br style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%; caret-color: rgb(51, 51, 51); color: #333333; font-family: "Lucida Grande", "Trebuchet MS", Verdana, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" /><span face=""Lucida Grande", "Trebuchet MS", Verdana, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%; background-color: #e1ebf2; caret-color: rgb(51, 51, 51); color: #333333; font-size: 13px;">One reason may well have been that infantry brigades regularly deployed with a regulating battalion, which meant all battalions took their direction and alignment from this one battalion. If this were so, how does one launch a charge when the regulating battalion is charging off in another direction? </span><br style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%; caret-color: rgb(51, 51, 51); color: #333333; font-family: "Lucida Grande", "Trebuchet MS", Verdana, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" /><br style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%; caret-color: rgb(51, 51, 51); color: #333333; font-family: "Lucida Grande", "Trebuchet MS", Verdana, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" /><span face=""Lucida Grande", "Trebuchet MS", Verdana, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%; background-color: #e1ebf2; caret-color: rgb(51, 51, 51); color: #333333; font-size: 13px;">Finally by imposing a one charge one target rule we neatly avoid that old wargame bugbear of numerous columns ganging up in melee against a single line. So under the 2nd Edition it's now one charge against one target but of course this charge can be supported by the usual flank and rear supports. The balance to this change is that defending supporting units may either fire or support when defending a charge, not both as before. So the defending player needs to think carefully about firing with supports as this will denude his support rerolls in the actual charge.</span><br style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%; caret-color: rgb(51, 51, 51); color: #333333; font-family: "Lucida Grande", "Trebuchet MS", Verdana, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" /><br style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%; caret-color: rgb(51, 51, 51); color: #333333; font-family: "Lucida Grande", "Trebuchet MS", Verdana, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" /><strong class="text-strong" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%; caret-color: rgb(51, 51, 51); color: #333333; font-family: "Lucida Grande", "Trebuchet MS", Verdana, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">Movement.</strong><br style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%; caret-color: rgb(51, 51, 51); color: #333333; font-family: "Lucida Grande", "Trebuchet MS", Verdana, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" /><span face=""Lucida Grande", "Trebuchet MS", Verdana, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%; background-color: #e1ebf2; caret-color: rgb(51, 51, 51); color: #333333; font-size: 13px;">Few changes have been applied to the movement and terrain rules. The main highlight is that the charge bonus is now only gained via ADC taskings, which includes using the full Forwards movement bonus for charges as well as normal movement.</span><br style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);

Thus heavy casualties from skirmishers is unlikely unless a tasking is in play, while merely wearing down an opponent more likely.</span><br style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%; caret-color: rgb(51, 51, 51); color: #333333; font-family: "Lucida Grande", "Trebuchet MS", Verdana, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" /><br style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%; caret-color: rgb(51, 51, 51); color: #333333; font-family: "Lucida Grande", "Trebuchet MS", Verdana, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" /><strong class="text-strong" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%; caret-color: rgb(51, 51, 51); color: #333333; font-family: "Lucida Grande", "Trebuchet MS", Verdana, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">Infantry & Artillery Firing.</strong><br style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%; caret-color: rgb(51, 51, 51); color: #333333; font-family: "Lucida Grande", "Trebuchet MS", Verdana, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" /><span class="text-italics" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%; caret-color: rgb(51, 51, 51); color: #333333; font-family: "Lucida Grande", "Trebuchet MS", Verdana, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font-style: italic;">"It was the first time the noise of an English fusillade had reached our ears....never had we heard a rolling fire as well fed as that."

This has been replaced with a slicker system where fire benefits, such as Elite and Veteran volleys or firing at a column or square target receive extra Casualty Dice; while fire negatives, such as unformed or firing at skirmishers moves your volley down the volley chart. So, if a battalion in line has no negatives this means you fire on the Standard Volley line, one negative modifier such as firing unformed moves the unit down to the Inferior Volley line. Two or more modifiers sees the unit fire with just 1 casualty dice, this is the lowest a volleying unit can go.</span><br style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%; caret-color: rgb(51, 51, 51); color: #333333; font-family: "Lucida Grande", "Trebuchet MS", Verdana, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" /><span style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%; background-color: #e1ebf2; caret-color: rgb(51, 51, 51); color: #333333; font-family: "Lucida Grande", "Trebuchet MS", Verdana, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">Columns and squares fire with just one casualty dice to reflect the fact they are manoeuvre or defensive formations and not firing formations.</span><br style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%; caret-color: rgb(51, 51, 51); color: #333333; font-family: "Lucida Grande", "Trebuchet MS", Verdana, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" /><span style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%; background-color: #e1ebf2; caret-color: rgb(51, 51, 51); color: #333333; font-family: "Lucida Grande", "Trebuchet MS", Verdana, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">Artillery has undergone similar treatment. </span><br style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%; caret-color: rgb(51, 51, 51); color: #333333; font-family: "Lucida Grande", "Trebuchet MS", Verdana, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" /><span style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%; background-color: #e1ebf2; caret-color: rgb(51, 51, 51); color: #333333; font-family: "Lucida Grande", "Trebuchet MS", Verdana, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">This means that firing is far quicker but produces similar results to the first edition.</span><br style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%; caret-color: rgb(51, 51, 51); color: #333333; font-family: "Lucida Grande", "Trebuchet MS", Verdana, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" /><br style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%; caret-color: rgb(51, 51, 51); color: #333333; font-family: "Lucida Grande", "Trebuchet MS", Verdana, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" /><span style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%; background-color: #e1ebf2; caret-color: rgb(51, 51, 51); color: #333333; font-family: "Lucida Grande", "Trebuchet MS", Verdana, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">The 2nd Edition retains the "casualty chart" as opposed to introducing a "handful of dice" fire mechanism, as the chart conveys four pieces of vital information to the player. These are; casualties, fire discipline, discipline tests and Destiny results. Also add a fifth, Low on Ammunition for artillery.

His Bavarian’s made an appearance as the Prussian forces he is building up are still a bit short of “boots on the ground”.</p><p>The great benefit of playing the games on a Saturday is that we can start around 9.00am and just work our way through the fame, discovering new aspects of the rules and certainly continuing to try and get to the point where the more intricate aspects of the rules such as charges, supports etc. become second nature to us. We are getting better and better all the time. </p><p><br /></p><p></p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhn3wp7T-XL_xvcG5km-nX38kS6AOnBa1tsSMLIEaA4nwF1XZxa8LjEHqPaWeJpdH8LKfyQlYgKyjaa-kC0tiAJ4jUABQdY-ulqpM9igf6c2codXc1_dYm_NO7jS0tntr47l0t6psGC3uyscW63s2QAkqmqj5OVbP6_DAe32vmPrizzfgKtxmEqqlYCZg/s4032/2F93E434-FD6A-4CB0-96CF-7C1DB593A7C7.jpeg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhn3wp7T-XL_xvcG5km-nX38kS6AOnBa1tsSMLIEaA4nwF1XZxa8LjEHqPaWeJpdH8LKfyQlYgKyjaa-kC0tiAJ4jUABQdY-ulqpM9igf6c2codXc1_dYm_NO7jS0tntr47l0t6psGC3uyscW63s2QAkqmqj5OVbP6_DAe32vmPrizzfgKtxmEqqlYCZg/w480-h640/2F93E434-FD6A-4CB0-96CF-7C1DB593A7C7.jpeg" width="480" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Old School board for ease of play and movement.

Whilst the Quiz reveals yet more food choices from your Local Fish and Chip Shop as well as what pet hate has been banished into Wargames Room 101.</p><p>The Big Topic is all about Colonial Wargaming, something we haven't covered before on the show so there is a good chat about that before we move onto the Sands of Sudan Rules.</p><p>Carlo has managed to piece together the rules from old scraps of paper left at the Wargames Holiday Centre and information provided by former players. The rules have never been formally published as they were used as a bit of a palette cleanser between Big Napoleonic or ACW games during the Wargaming Weeks that Peter used to run.</p><p>Carlo has his website at</p><p>https://withpyjamasthroughthedessert.blogspot.com/</p><p>The rules can be obtained in the UK from Caliver Books</p><p>https://www.caliverbooks.com</p><p>And directly from Carlo in Australia.</p><p>it's great to be back on air and I've got guests booked in now till Xmas and pencilled in until Feb 2023, having too many guests is a nice problem to have.</p><p>My next guest is Painter and Author Mark Hides, a Yorkshire Lad, Tune in, in a couple of weeks time as we find out more about life as a Professional Figure Painter”</p><p>The Yarkshire Gamer”</p><p><br /></p><p>If you get a chance, have a listen and support Kens fantastic podcast channel.
