Have you tried the free S&S demo? |

| I'm a horse and musket gamer really. There was a trail a little while back saying WDS might tackle the Zulu War - that would be exciting to me but as ever with colonial-era wargames, the challenge is to achieve balance. Not easy. I believe someone is on that project, but not sure how far along it is. |

| If WDS really wants to enforce a real Fog of War on human players with units they command... then let's have some fun! Try putting a Fog of War over all the intel of friendly units . If I can't know ammo levels, then should I know their exact fatigue level, their exact number of men, or other thing... |

| Nice thread. I tend to agree with everything said' Perhaps the answer is all of the Above Higher chances of running out of ammo I mean 5 hexes in this game is 625 yards, Even If you could hit a target at that range the energy of that bullet would be very low. I own a 1861 Springfield 58 Cal, Rifled... |

Has anyone tried Crusades: Book I

| Welcome, I love Dublin and France. A few free tips: 1) Don't be too concerned about VP hexes. Destroy the enemy and take the VP hexes if needed. 2) Manage your unit integrity. Meaning, avoid being detached. 3) Watch your artillery ammo. Some scenarios will cause you to come up short if you blast awa... |

| Sorry, just now noticed this. As Ned said, Mustering is an essential part of the Club's admin duties so we know "who is here." We debated monthly vs. quarterly for many years until finally, earlier this year, the Club voted to make it monthly in the Club Rules. In the end, whether we did ... |

| I've 'slept on it' and woke up very worried that delaying reinforcements could unbalance many scenarios. Essentially, units are hidden 'beyond the edge of the world' and a large force can be built up that then emerges in the flank/rear of an opponent at a convenient time. The converse situation is ... |

| You can do that now with the record feature. Under the Mode drop down, select "record" When finished, open any scenario, then under file, select replay then select the desired BTR file. This will work for a PBeM game? When I try to select "record" with PBeM mode I get an error m... |

I am just curious, why is there a need for monthly musters. I realize a muster is needed to show who is active, but wouldn't a quarterly muster do just as well?
My two cents |
