That is a very good battle report. Thank you. You mentioned leader casualties. I know in Napoleonic battles, generals (especially French) died like flies. Is your paucity of “dead generals’ actually more accurate of the SYW or not? donald

We are used to playing Bloody Big Battles, where leaders only affect movement rolls and not combat. In BBB games they get hit frequently if near the front lines. In these SYW rules, leaders only get hit if attached to units, which our crew is not used to doing. However, if attached they give bonuses in melee and morale checks. I think as we continue to use these rules my wounded general vignette will see more use.

 

Thank you both for the kind words.
