Gents.

2 Thoughts struck me recently . . . I've filed charges for Assault and Battery at the local Copshot! [:o)]

Seriously . . . .

1. Could a function be hardwired into either or both HPS and TS games where a Unit could construct Abatis?

A useful tool to have, Historical - certainly in the latter stages of the War . . . and would be more realistic/strategically useful in Open Ground.

Perhaps a limit written in - can only be constructed within 1 or 2 hexes of wooded areas?

2. Campfires during Dusk, Night and/or Dawn Turns.

A Unit wold only require 5/10 men to be present to Light and maintain the fire.

A "Life" could be assigned by the Player to the length a Fire burns, at a cost of MP's, to the whole unit. To light a Fire would require a full MP quota for a Turn.

At the point of lighting the fire, He would "instruct his 5/10 Men to keep it burning for x number of turns and the Parent Unit would then be bale to move out during the next Turn, at 3/4 MP values, until the fire burns out at the appointed Turn.

The "Fire Detachment would then be automatically returned to the Parent Unit and the Unit enabled to travel at full MP quota again.

Again - Historical precedent abounds and there would be the Tactical variation introduced of distracting the Enemy into considering whether the Fire constituted the True Position of his Opponent's Units OR whether it is a Decoy.

Any Thoughts?

Sir, <salute>

Anything is possible if we owned the code. Sadly we do not, so we rely on HPS and the owners of TS code to make enhancements.

This is a good talking point, my suggestion would be to put it onto the main board as others will definitely respond.

Kind Regards,
