"Big Britches" ?

Can't recall ever going by that nom de guerre.

All right, Herr Peters, name the field and I'll be there.

Maloyaroslavits it is. A courier is off to your tent sir. I will be away from my tent for a few days as you know. Think over the options/Rules we shall use during that time and also if you would be interested in playing the Embedded Melee system which Bill Peterson and I enjoy so much. Its a family thing![;)]

Sir, If you still need an opponent to meet on any of the suggested fields I would be glad to join you. I am interested to trying out a game with an embedded melee rule. Send courier to my HQ.

Marshall Thayer and GD Hall. I will gladly accept your offer.

Bruce - Gorodetchna - look over the battle and let me know when you are ready to begin.

Jon - Tarutino (H) - as per above.

I can do 3 files a week. Is that ok?

Jon - email to you is bouncing. I am using the same address that was provided for me in your forum email.

Here is the message from your server:

Any ideas? I can try back in a few hours.

Here was the text of my message:

Jon,

Embedded Melee is simply:

1. Divide up your troops into 'fronts' if you like to save on going back and forth.
2. Do the movement on one front or any firing you want to do.
3. Then do all melees together. You can do charges and finish one before you start on another or advance one hex, do another melee and so on. In any order as long as once you finish meleeing you dont melee after or during step 4.
4. Do the rest of your movement and firing.
5. Important: skirmishers can always be meleed at any time during the turn. You are not bound to melee them ONLY in step 3.

I prefer to have all skirmishers out of stacks that have formed units in them prior to moving to within 1 one hex of a defender. We are seeing the skirmishers fired on instead of the formed unit. Standard practice was that the skirmishers would fall back to the parent unit (incorporate them if not disordered) or behind them prior to an assault. Skirmishers did not assault with formed units for the most part - I am sure that SOME exceptions are there but that is what I have found out from all of the reading I have done.

The above is optional and not part of the Embedded Melee system. I think that after you play it a few times you will see why I like it - it works both ways. Russians can deploy skirmishers too.

File to you soon.

Regards,

Bill

Will have to pass on these games guys. Things just started hopping here and I cant commit myself to new games present. Lots of playtesting going on and map work and so on. House things, this and that.
