Attacking a Polish-held crossing:

Nice report thank you.

Yes you did miscalculate the Reconnaissance Points. It should be 22 for PLC an 20 for Muscovites. Also you can't split a Banner to form a Squadron with 2 other Banners.

Great report, thanks!!!

Thanks, once I saw how close it was on rp I didn't really double check.

I don't think we split any banners...

Well the end difference of RP is the same anyway :-)

AFAIK you used 3 banners of Dragoons with 2 bases each. But on the battlefield you had two units /squadrons of 3 bases each. This is not allowed. You should had either one big squadron of 6 bases or one squadron of 4 bases and another of 2 bases or 3 units of 2 bases each.

But anyway it don't see how it would have made a difference in your game :-)

And nice painting too. Keep it up

Ah, the FSP 10 dragoon bases were extra stands filling out the prior 2 units, not a separate banner.

Ty for the compliment on my painting!

Mmm, sorry, but I totally have no idea how did you want to make it. You declared a charge on the enemy unit placed on the opposite bank and...?
You had to stop your charging move of pancerni on the bank and than - all that what the enemy needed was waiting with appearing on your side of the river, until your unit will fail this charge. Even if Muscovite reiters would be standing in the middle of the ford, you couldn't do anything but standing on this bank (in the place where yellow arrow is starting), because you can charge only in the straight line into target. So you had to wait until reiters would appear on your bank in such way which would allow all of your unit turn left and charge them by all of unit's bases.
Or maybe I didn't catch something?

Sorry for being too honest, Maurice

Nice table and - after all - good to read your stories.

I hope your next games will go better!

No, you're absolutely right!! I'm still new to this, and need to tighten up in a lot of places (and my opponent has played less than me in this case).

I didn't even think about having to charge in a straight line

There were a lot of issues with my plan

I need to look at the bridge-charges section, as I'm not sure if we did that right at the end either. I know there is a bit more flexibility about moving off a bridge to charge someone, but we probably did one or both sides of that counter charge wrong.

Thanks!!!

There was a long discussion earlier whether charging over bridges was allowed in most circumstances as the rules are rather unclear. I suggest you take a look at the Player's Rulebook preview PDF which were supposed to clarify this issue.

@callan - Yup! And it will be even more easy now in the final version, we've just cut off some rules 2 days ago, so only 1 picture of example will stay.
