Ah, that's because I wasn't playing. The Curse is still extant on the Grenadiers de France, Saxons, Royal-Carabiniers and a few others...

The 'Sackville Rule' was funny. On this occasion, the umpire 'rolled' for all order changes secretly... What actually happened was that Sackville would refuse all orders until spurred into action by either an enemy or a friendly division breaking. That was probably generous, but he still didn't move... An ADC did bring orders after the conditions had been met, but a 1 was rolled and he refused to move anyway... :clappy:

I'm also now an 'https', so no longer a danger to children.

It was never proved anyway.
