Glad we don t use skimishers in C1776
Imagine the effect with a swarm of 12 skirmishers company
Do you know if this rule will be the same in CP Eckmuhl ?

Larry, the answer is simple.

During the offensive fire phase the company is operating under a controlled volley, therefore the men are waiting for you to order that volley to be fired.

Where as in the defensive fire the men are preforming battle fire or fire at will.

Hehehehe...at least that is how I look at it. Now if I can find that "fire at will" button during my offensive fire phase.

Stephane,

Yes, the single phase option will be there in Eckmuhl as well. But, with single man losses, against 400 to 1000 man regiments, the plinking away of skirms isn't that big of a deal. You only suffer 1 - 3 men at a shot normally.

Hi
Anyway it is only an OPTION
but if we consider that there can be a lot of skirmisher units firing a lot of times on a unit par turn, it will take a lot of time, and will it cause numerous morale checks too ?
A lot of players complain about the abusive use of skirmishers. How is it possible to avoid this option to make this even more abusive ?

That's a very good question. And really, the only way I have found to keep skirmishers under tight control is to discuss it with your opponent before playing, and set limitations before the game begins...
