What is the consensus on Light Lance/Heavy Lance or Impact Pistol/Impact Mtd? I know that I prefer 1/2 /3 points.
Also, what is the view on CS costs?

I still want to see something done about CS with regimental guns. However, the basic proposal is fine.

That's a 4MU move when within 6MU of the enemy.

In play tests I have found them to be very difficult to use successfully. The only reason I now use them in my Swedish army is because they are a cheap BG. Maybe this is historical, but if it sees the omission of dragoons from lists it will be a bad thing. One option is to make them cheaper, the oth...

Without any modifiers, 60% of failed cohesion tests will contain a 1.

I had another play test last night, using the following: Revised points; Revised CS proposal (latest version), with CS costing 4/8/12/16 points for poor through to elite; Revised armour (with a reduction in re-rolls if your opponent has better armour); Revised artillery to hit; Revised dragoons; and...

The point I was trying to make is that due to the change in autobreak levels the only real difference between Superiors and Averages now is the reroll(unless you go to BG of 12 or greater). Yet the points(foot) remain the same. So why is that? I believe that the feeling is that currently the points...

More thoughts on points would be useful if you have any :D I think that Superior Armoured P/P Determined Horse at 17 points (compared to 21) are a bit too cheap and Average Armoured P/P determine Horse at 14 points (compared to 15) are still too expensive. 18 and 13 might be better or even a differ...

Checking the lists on the Madaxeman Wiki, the trends for existing armies are: 3. Commanded shot almost inevitably have regimental cannon, except in the smaller (<800 point) lists. I believe that something needs to be done to represent this in the proposed CS changes. Additional points for an additi...

I was thinking about the proposal that protected mounted (i.e. those with CS) ignore better armour. This might be a bit much. They don't do this in the current rules. Consider a BG of Avg Arm P/P Hse with CS against a BG of Sup HvyArm P/P Hse. At impact, they are even so the unit with CS gets an ext...

Played another game to test out CS last night. Early 30YW Swedes v Early Louis XIV French again. French 2 Sup Arm P/P DH 2 Sup Unarm IM/P Cav 2 Sup infantry 4/2 IF/M* with arm pike 2 Avg infantry 4/2 IF/M* with unarm pike 1 musketter company IF/M* 2 BG of 3 Drag 1 BG of 2 Med Arty 1 GC and 2 TC Swed...

Whilst we are not convinced that the original suggestion is wrong, an alternative one we would consider is 12 bases for 2 or 3 base (med/hvy) artillery BGs and 18 for 4 base ones (otherwise I think 4 base artillery BGs are getting too much of a "discount"). We're going with this one. :cry:

I like it and think that it is more logical now you are proposing to reduce re-rolls for troops fighting those with better armour. We used it in our play test tonight and it worked well.

I forgot as well as my Swedish foot never use it.

Other factors to consider are: The CS reduce the movement of mounted; a Reg Gun does not affect the movement of an infantry BG. This is an important consideration as, in my second playtest against the Imperialists, my opponent abandoned hi CS on a number of occasions as he needed to get the extra mo...

We had an issue today on moving Dragoons.

What distance should they move when the only troops within 6 MU are routing? At this point in a battle, we would assume that they would mount up and be moving at 5MU until they came across unbroken enemy within 6 MU. However, what is the proposal?

Horse/DH Poor 4/6 Average 6/9 Superior 9/12 Elite 12/16 Ben suggested reducing Poor DH to 5 and Average to 8 so the premium for DH is nearer 1/3 extra for all. That doesn't seem unreasonable. Following my recent playtest, I would propose the following: Hse/DH or Cav Poor 4/4 Average 8/8 Superior 12...

The second battle was between my Swedes and another friends Imperialists. There were three of us, so I played as Imperialist to see how the enemy CS could affect my Kuirassiere. Swedes As above Imperialists 3 Sup Hvy Arm P/P Hse 1 Sup Arm P/P Hse 1 Avg Unarm C/P Hse 1 BG of 4 Drag 1 BG of 2 Med Arty...

We tried 2 battles today. The first was a refight of my earlier battle, using the reduced points for commanded shot and the change that they also got an extra dice in melee if they were even or + and had not mitigated a -. Armies below. Still using original mounted points but latest CS points propos...
