Unfortunately for the Brits, that's usually what happened in the war! It is very hard for a frontal assault to achieve quick results in BG, unless you are very lucky with the die rolling or catch the other side in the flank, as Howe did at Brandywine. <BR/><BR/>If you read "Battlegames", I have a short piece about this in issue 12's "recce" section. I suppose ultimately it's a choice between "realism" and "playability", and as you say those who favour the latter will adopt some house rules. <BR/><BR/>Best wishes<BR/><BR/>GilesGileshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01431052344684945450noreply@blogger.com
